Comments/Problems:

Onboard SATA controller is ICH5.  Booting with linux (2.4 kernel) finds CD-Rom 
drive, and hard drives, but errors on reboot.  Booting with linux26 (2.6 
kernel) finds the hard drives as sd devices, but fails to locate a valid 
CD-Rom drive.  Same behavior observed on a ICH5 i875 chipset Shuttle XPC 
machine.
