I have (on pegasos) : cdrom ide_cd ide_disk and via82cxxx. Do you also have

Could you fill a bug report against hotplug/discover or both about this ?

Could you try 2.6.8 and fill a bug report against hotplug/discover ? I don't
really know which one is in charge, maybe you should fill the bug report at
