I have the same problem with Ubuntu 8.10 (latest updates). I have a CDROM writer/DVD reader attached with a 80 way cable. It is supposed to be able o do UDMA/100 but is being limited to UDMA/33 by an erroneous claim that the cable is 40 way.
I realise that in the case of a CDROM drive the loss of performance is pretty minimal but it's a bug just the same. DMESG is enclosed.
