I've not seen this problem before.
Did you install the desktop task or Gnome? In that case this possibly is
an udev issue.
If not, please file a proper installation report [1].

What do you mean by "not recognized"? Not recognized to install from or
not set up to burn DVD's to?
Anyway, AFAIK the ide-scsi driver is deprecated. If the CD is not
recognized to install from my guess is that you have SATA and the SATA
driver is blocking access to the DVD-drive. That is a known problem.
Here also, please file a proper installation-report.
