A bug was filled both with the kernel (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ - no 3741)
and with debian (as I said below)
Unfortunately I don't think it is patchable. The drive was clearly
interrupting relating to a command that (from the kernel's perspective) had
already completed properly so time ago - and in the middle of the next
command that was being processed. This should not have happened according to
the IDE ATAPI specifications. The drive was not performing correctly.
I suspect that its a firmware issue with the drive - it was entirely
consistent, occuring on one specific command. Unfortunately I could not find
a way of notifying cyberdrive about it.
