Hi
I am not sure how to send a bug report about this because it seems to
be in several different kernels from Debian. (maybe it even is not
kernel specific but it's grub which is doing something wrong.)

When i replaced my ATA DVD writer with an SATA DVD writer and placed
another ATA harddisk on the connector, i got in my selfbuild kernel(*1
an OOPS. This made me decide to re-install debian. I downloaded a
daily-build netinstall CD from Lenny and wanted to convert that to Sid
- because that is my normal debian 'outfit' on the computer. With the
installation everything went smoothly, but when i rebooted the
computer crashed/hanged on booting the kernel. The message on the
screen was:
--

what happens if you pull that dvd drive and boot? Looks to me like
you've got a nasty hardware conflict going on. I'd start with some
easy swaps like pulling that drive and then move up to futzing with
the bios.

its not much, but I hth.
