The patch that I attached, is the one that already had been in
hal/hal-info a while ago. Since I do not have the hardware, I didn't
change it.

However, if the bug is in the CD-ROM's firmware, it doesn't matter
whether it is in a Dell or other machine.

As for the check for hdb/hdd, I can only speculate. Maybe the issue
only happens if the drive is a slave? I don't object at all to
dropping the device name check, that'll make the rule easier.

Thanks,

Martin
