I have finally gotten the sata CD/DVD drive to work on my Etch system.

I never managed to get it working with the original installed kernel,
so decided to try a change to the kernel configuration..

However after installing the kernel source and doing a test compile with
no changes at all to the configuration, I found that the CD/DVD worked
with the new kernel.

The commands I used to rebuild the kernel were:
        apt-get install kernel-package
        apt-get instal linux-tree-2.6.15
        cd ~digbyt/kernel;tar xfj /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2
        cd linux-source-2.6.15; cp /boot/config-2.6.15-1-686 .config
        make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version -drst \
            --revision 1 kernel-image
        dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.15-drst_1_i386.deb

and now I get:
.

Not sure what the PIO error during the partition display for hda 
means. Hda seems to be working fine after the boot.
