ata request_sense illegal request

I am having *exactly* the same problem on my system. Without CDs in the 
drive, the system just hangs. With CDs in the drive, it boots (with errors, 
as shown below) but for some reason it suddenly locked up hard when starting 
KDE ... don't know if this is a related problem or not.

'boot -v' provides an endless string of:
(probe0:ata1:0:0:0): Retrying Command

... messages (without CDs in the drive). I hope this helps, if anyone needs 
more information don't hesitate to ask. :-)

Thanks,
Mike
