Hmm. Why? They've been working perfectly for me for months[0] in -STABLE 
on an Omnibook 6000 with a J. Random slimline CD-RW/DVD (provide your 
own laptop caddy) from Ebay.

And they're much the same patches as were committed to -CURRENT...


BTW, atacontrol works great for the hot-swapping of devices from the 
modular bays for me. Don't tend to do it often, but it's Very Useful 
when you need it.
