I assume this should be a Citrix bug=85.

Seems like the bug :=20

Xen 4.1.1 has a bug where the emulated CDROM/DVD drive in an HVM guest =
fails to work properly. This bug has been fixed in Xen 4.1.2 and later =
versions. The symptoms of this bug are lost interrupts and frozen ata =
commands in the kernel dmesg log. See this email thread for more =
