It tryed to set the combo drive to udma2 both with "hdparm -q -d1 -X
udma2 /dev/hdc" and with "command_line {hdparm -q -d1 -X udma2 /dev/hdc}"
in /etc/hdparm.conf (if I use transfert_mode, hdparm complains that it
doesn't know this option).

My ibook is a "Late 2004" (october) one.

The problem occurs at the moment I insert a CD in the slot drive. In some
rare cases, there's no problem and when it's a blank cd-rw it's ok. Maybe
kded tries to access to the cdrom to fast?
