I'm trying very hard to stay out of this discussion because I'm in no
way familiar with DFBSD's changes to ATA and ATAPI.  I am, however,
quite familiar with ATA/SATA on FreeBSD.  One thing stands out here like
a sore thumb:

Your SATA CD/DVD drive is connected to a Promise RAID controller.  I
have never seen this work, and vendors even go so far to state "DO NOT
HOOK UP CD/DVD DRIVES TO RAID CONTROLLERS".  The RAID controller is
probably freaking out because it doesn't know how to speak ATAPI
properly.

Do you see the same problem if you hook the SATA CD/DVD drive to your
VIA SATA controller?
