Hmm - I just tried plugging a PCGA-CD51 cdrom drive into a C1XD vaio running 4.4ish sources, and it hung with an interrupt storm. I unplugged it, and got a page fault in the ATA code, and then I got a hard hang on reboot at the "starting local daemons:" line. I haven't used that cdrom drive in a while, but it definitely used to work! (I will debug further over the next few days).
