SUPRISE!
See somebody did answer. Now peel yourself off the floor and lets continue...
I doubt very much that this is a problem with linux and relates more to your
SATA controller chipset. Most chipsets assume that you'd only connect a
harddrive and therefore only support harddrives.
What is your SATA controller chipset? If you've got more than one kind have
you tried on the other?
BTW, I know this to be true because I wanted to buy a plextor CD drive and
found out it was incompatible with my motherboards SATA chipsets :-(
Amazing! My first response to this question out of all the times I've
even brought it up! Thank you!

I have 2 DVD drives, the burner and the DVD rom on my IDE controller. I
just can't seem to find the SATA DVD burner which I believe is due to it
not being there. I'm kind of lost but I *think* it is just ignoring that
its there. By the looks of it to me, it looks like it should be
detecting just fine, giving me my sd* that I can use with it. But None
of that seems to be happening. And I'm sort of lost.
Thanks Again,
-Mike
