F8 reboots with CD/DVD disc in drive.

I have installed Fedora 8 on my PC, which works fine, however if a disc 
is present in my DVD-RW drive when booting, the system boots just before 
GDM loads.

If I boot with no disc in the drive all is ok, but if I then load a 
disc, the system freezes (in X) and reboots (in console runlevel 3).

I have also updated all packages and tried all installed kernels, with 
no luck.

$ dmesg | less

...

The drive is actually a SATA connection.

Any ideas where to start looking as I cannot find anyhting in my log files?

Thanks,

Stewart
