(cc linux-ide)If it's only the speed value in the description, perhaps you had different medias (no medium, CD-ROM, DVD-VIDEO, CD-R, CD-RW, ...) on this bootups in your drive, I have seen this changed speed value depending on insert medium in the past on some Liteon or Samsung drive.

The drive seems to work correctly, reading and writing just fine. I just
happened to notice this and thought I'd pass it along.
One other odd thing while looking through the logs, 2.6.23.1 has also
reported the drive as follows:
Linux version 2.6.23.1 (root@jupiter) (gcc version 4.2.2) #1 SMP PREEMPT
Fri Oct 26 13:09:09 CDT 2007
kernel: hdd: HP DVD Writer 1040d, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
kernel: hdd: ATAPI 32X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache,
UDMA(66)
Any idea what is going on here? It's being reported as 48X, 126X, and 32X.
