   Hi all   
      
   I've just bought one of these;   
      
   http://www.pioneercomputers.com.au/products/info.asp?c1=3&c2=15&id=1688   
      
   and I've installed edgy i386 on it.   
      
   Problem: The CD-ROM drive does not work (it is not hardware because it works   
   fine when booting live CD)   
      
   /etc/fstab says;   
      
   /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0   
      
   ls -al /media says;   
      
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2007-02-04 13:03 cdrom -> cdrom0   
   drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2007-02-04 13:03 cdrom0   
      
   The problem is that /dev/scd0 doesn't exist.   
      
   So, why did the edgy installer decide that my cd-rom drive should be   
   /dev/scd0 and why does it not exist?   
      
   According to the specs of the machine (url above), the DVD-ROM drive is   
   SATA   
      
   Since this is a new install, I went and re-installed with Dapper and   
   got the same result as before. Looks like a SATA driver problem maybe?   
      
   When I do lspci it tells me about the SATA controller;   
      
   0000:00:1f.2 IDE Interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family)Serial   
   ATA Storage Controllers cc=IDE (Rev 02)   
      
   I'm just about out of ideas for now, getting tired, might go to bed and   
   sleep on it for a while.   
      
   In the meantime if there is anything I can look for I sure would   
   appreciate any suggestions.
