Try w/ 2.6.20 please.
With kernel 2.6.20 problem still persits: ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x1F7 ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x1F7
Hmmm...
drives do work, if I use the "normal" PATA driver
(In reply to comment #6) > drives do work, if I use the "normal" PATA driver > I see a similar abnormal status message with 2.6.19. I can mount and read data from the cd/dvd drive, but I cannot burn. Also hdparm -I /dev/sr0 (or sg0) does not return a full description of the drive. Revert to 2.6.18 and it works again. (2.6.19 was built with ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL disabled, serial ATA + Intel SATA enabled, SCSI CDROM enabled.)
Please report this upstream after reproducing with 2.6.21-rc1. The libata PATA drivers are still experimental.

Do you have any problems using these devices, or is it simply the error messages which concern you (but things are working fine)?
I have this error during boot and these devices (CD-RW and DVD-RW) can´t be used.
OK. please file this bug upstream at http://bugzilla.kernel.org
