It was 2.6.22 kernel with pata_via and sata_via drivers, scsi and cdrom debug
was temporally enabled via sysctl (please see logs near Jul 24 13:42:46 timestamp)

Btw. I'm not sure that it was an error, I've looked on the sources and IMHO it's
normal command processing cdrom without disk inserted into drive. I've checked
2.6.19, 2.6.20 and 2.6.22 kernels and got the same behavior.

# hdparm -I /dev/cdrom

/dev/cdrom:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error

(Hmm, strange. please see logs near Jul 24 13:44:30 timestamp)

You can find more details about this node in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8650

I have full logs from kernel compiled with extra ata debug -- but it is very
big. Please tell me if you want to look it too.

thank you,
