Sounds rather unlikely ...

Perhaps you are using the ide-cd driver in the kernel?
It is known to cause a HPMC on PA ...
Make sure you don't have ide-cd (IDE ATAPI CD-ROM support) enabled
in the kernel, but use ide-scsi (IDE SCSI Emulation) instead
(and enable SCSI CD-ROM support).
You also might need to append "hda=ide-scsi" in your kernel boot
options (/etc/palo.conf)
