Well, we can issue the command, ignore the error and then check the
correct mode is configured during revalidation.  For now, the
following should show us whether something like that would work.

I'm still using 2.6.32.9.  Is it ok to apply this against 2.6.32.9?

Yeah, that part hasn't changed lately so it should be okay.

Oh, and do I need to keep the black list entry or get rid of it?

It doesn't matter.  It has no effect anyway.

This patch seems to have done the trick Tejun.  Thank you.  Device mount and
read access seem to be slower than with the IDE driver.  But given how
little I use the CD-ROM drive this initial impression may not accurately
describe reality.  Here's relevant dmesg entries from the patched kernel:

scsi0 : ata_piix
scsi1 : ata_piix
ata1: PATA max UDMA/33 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xf000 irq 14
ata2: PATA max UDMA/33 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xf008 irq 15
ata1: port disabled. ignoring.
ata2.00: ATAPI: Pioneer CD-ROM ATAPI Model DR-A24X  0102, E1.02, max MWDMA2
ata2.00: SETXFER failed w/ 100

Thanks.
