It says: 
page fault but interrupts were disabled touching address 0x00000010 
from eip 0x000428cc
Thread 25 "media checker" running on CPU0

this on a single-core Pentium III 
I have two optical drives, a cd drive on /dev/disk/atapi/1/master
and a dvd/cd writer on dev/disk/atapi/1/slave.
It only happens on the master, but I haven't tried fiddling the jumpers 
to see it if stays on the master even if the physical drives are 
swapped around.
Doesn't matter if there's a disk in the drive or not. 

I hope this helps.
