The following patch should fix OOPS w/ vanilla 2.6.30-rc6 and 40-wire cable:

It is possible for ide-cd to ignore ide_error()'s return value under
some circumstances.  Workaround it in ide_intr() and ide_timer_expiry()
by checking if there is a device/port reset pending currently.

in the longer-term ide-cd should be fixed to not do such things
(too invasive for 2.6.30 and 2.6.29)
