Bug#285108: kernel-image-2.6.9: Fails to recognize CDRW/DVD

[Paul Maragakis <plm@jenoandpaul.net>]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.9-1-686-smp
Version: 2.6.9-3
Severity: important
File: kernel-image-2.6.9

Kernels 2.6.8 of testing and 2.6.9 of unstable correctly mount
my SATA drives as sda, sdb, but completely fail to recognize the
SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352F.  Kernel 2.4 of unstable would see the 
SATA drives as hda, hdb, and the CDRW as:
hdc: SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-352F, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

This makes the CD completely unusable.  I understand that more 
people with SATA-only hard drives have this problem but I have 
seen no solution for it in the distributed debian kernels.
