What I've seen so far has been the opposite, i.e. not working normaly
but if one used ide-scsi then it works (making sure to use the correct
device node).
Some systems seem to use /dev/sr# and some /dev/scd#

There defenatly is some bug here though, querrying the device/drive
shows anomalous behaviour values so I think it's in the kernel.
Some combination of drives, ide-chipsets and kernel versions..
