there is one more thing i could think of, but it is so trivial and i'm not 
sure it could happen in your case....

loading and/or deloading the ide or cdrom kernel modules could cause a reset 
of the paramters, also an ide bus error would eventualy result in such a 
reset. Any of those events should show up in your syslog.

btw: are you using the kernel provided by your distro and what distro are you 
using?
