Actually it should have been disabled, the media check in FC3 is broken
unless you burned the CD with padding. The ide-cd driver is broken and
FC uses ide-cd not ide-scsi (sanely for all sorts of other reasons).
I see the new kernels (at least from 2.6.8-1.624) have ide-scsi.ko,
but there's nothing about it in the release notes. Without this message
I would not even notice it...
