OK. I can confirm that this issue is related to 64 bit Linux distros only. I tried a few different 32 bit Linux distros via LiveCD, including 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10 and all of them detected the blu-ray drive and started up almost instantly. I checked dmesg on all of them and not one showed the soft reset issue that the 64 bit distros show. What does this mean? Is there a way to incorporate the 32 bit SATA handling in the 64 bit kernels? What's different with the 64 bit handling of SATA vs the 32 bit? I really need the 64 bit OS as I commonly perform tasks that require more than 4GB of RAM, but it would be nice if my blu-ray drive worked as well.
