Is there any other name for SCAM?  I have a 1542CF with similar rebooting
problems.  When I boot it up first, it recognizes my two disks (0 and 1),
but not my CD-ROM (5).  It hangs there indefinitely, so I hit reset.  Then
the controller doesn't recognize anything.

The strange part is, I never noticed this until after I upgraded to 2.2.2...
It doesn't seem like it should be an OS problem, since I don't even get
that far.
