F8 libata errors -- hardware failure or bug?

[Steve Bardsley]

Greetings:

I have F8 running on new hardware, and believe the hardware to be
good.  However,
I'm receiveing ATA errors very frequently.  This is pointing to my DVD
drive, which is
the only IDE device in my system; all others ar SATA.

I know very little about libata et. al. so I'm looking for any
guidance on next troubleshooting steps.
