With it being on the ATA bus, to a CD/DVD device - my first hunch is that
the cable is having trouble.  Just a hunch, though, as I haven't seen it
before.

Next guess would be some sort of odd configuration in BIOS for how the
optical drive is connected?  Unplug it and see if the problem goes away.
