     The 'RZ1000' PCI IDE controller chip found on earlier Intel PCI MBs
(also sold under the Dell, GW2K, and some other OEM names) is known to cause
data corruption under a true multitasking OS (ie.Linux, OS/2, Windoze NT),
but I've never heard of a problem where the system locks when trying to
access both IDE ports.  I know of a problem with the Triton chipset where it
can't use each port independently (they're either both ON or both OFF), but
I still don't see why that would cause your system to lock.  Have you tried
moving your IDE CDROM to the secondary IDE port??
