I have a Creative quad speed ATAPI CD drive in my system running 
2.1.0-RELEASE which seems to work fine.  The only thing I found was that 
I had to have the drive attached to a controller that already had a hard 
disk attached.  I get the unknown phase message on bootup as well but 
this doesn't seem to make too much difference.  Occasionally I have 
trouble mounting the drive or playing audio CDs on it but ejecting the CD 
and closing it again seems to fix this most of the time.  I guess it 
isn't the most stable driver in the world but it was put in the RELEASE 
as ALPHA quality, so I can live with minor hiccups.  Now that I have it 
going finally I am very happy with it.

cheers,
Carey
