Ah ;-)
Only a minor change ;-)

Uups. I remember that there was once a problem
with a special IDE controler chip.
Ask "groups.google.com" if this is yours.

Why not?
If the IDE driver is locked in a dead lock, waiting for
a transfer that will never occur, it is not im possible that
the system reacts to other interrupts
like those "sporadic" from lirc.

It's hardware. Never rely on hardware reacts always the same
way.

Ok, assume that it is totally uncritical.

Depending on which (two) disc is(are) used?

Ask google. I think you will find an answer. (And report what
the solution was, if...)
