This is odd: - a different HD & CD-ROM => seems to work - just this CD-ROM => IRQ storm - just the HD => [ 6.109000] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [ 11.113000] ata1: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset [ 16.319000] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [ 21.170000] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 26.374000] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) [ 31.174000] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16) [ 36.378000] ata1: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0) - this HD nad other CD-ROM => seems to work The "odd" HD seems to work on X86 however the boot process gets delayed by like 30 seconds. The CD-ROM seems not show any side effects. So I fixed this problem by replacing the HD.
