Has anyone seen the following problem with the 'matcd' cdrom
driver during bootup:

Oct  5 09:50:59 numbat /kernel: After reading status byte, 
bus didn't go idle 27 f 230
Oct  5 09:50:59 numbat /kernel: matcd3: Next status byte is ff
Oct  5 09:50:59 numbat /kernel: matcd3: get_stat: After reading status byte, bus didn't go idle ff f
2

It seems like the driver is expecting to get 0xff back from the status
register, but its getting 0x0f instead.   I've tryed recompiling the
driver with debug information, but this doesn't tell me very much.

The interface card is a recently bought Creative Labs Sound 
Blaster/16.  The model number on the card is CT2660.

The drive works fine under DOS and windows.

Any pointers or suggestions would be appretiated.
