<p>Look in your syslog for a bunch of "lost interrupt" messages.  If you
see them, then you're probably running into a problem that others have
seen with VIA chipsets.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that anyone with the requisite skills has
ever figured out what's really going on.  The only solution I found was
to move my CD-ROM to a Promise controller.

Note though, that ATAPI devices are not "supported" on add-in
controllers, and I've seen kernel panics when trying to mount a CD-ROM
in that drive.  I also have a CD-R/W, so I left it attached to the VIA
controller, and I use the CD-ROM for ripping only.
