That patch fixes the probing of the atapicd devices. Excellent!

It uncovers a different problem though: HAL appears to only hide/ignore acd0 
if both atapicam and atapicd are enabled - when I boot with a cdrom loaded 
into my second drive, the volume shows up in the media manager twice, for cd1 
*and* acd1. The volume on acd1 disappears though when I eject and reload the 
disc.

There is also an hald-addon-storage process of acd1:
