Hi,
I have those very frequent resets when accessing my IDE dvd, especially
(but not only) after a cold boot.

It doesn't look that serious 'I think', hit bugzilla and look at these for more info #243238 #245426 add to or open at your leisure.

looking at those bugzilla entries the issue seems to be still unfixed; it is a serious
problem: every kind of cd/dvd access from that point onward requires a reboot.
Apparently libata is to blame; I'll recompile the kernel without libata
(hoping that both SATA and PATA are still accessible) until that bug is fixed

I've also got this problem (BZ#379771). In my case and many others the work round is to add the following to the kernel boot options:

libata.pata_dma=1

It's still annoying that this has been hanging around for so long.

Simon.
