Not 2.1.6, but 2.2-BETA.  I have a P5/PCI machine that has a Vertos 4X
CDROM drive installed as a master device on the second IDE port.
Intermittently, boot-up will complain about "atapi, unknow phase", and
shortly thereafter produce a similar page fault.  Can't say as it's
exactly the same, because I finally took the drive out and moved it to
WinNT rather than fool with it.
