Bug#577476: Bug #577476: Additional information
Updating to 2.6.32-4-686 fixed the problem. The device has now been detected
and discs are auto-mounted by the Gnome desktop system.
Two notes:
When installing the new kernel, aptitude gave 7 instances of the following error:
debconf: Unknown template field '_description', in stanzaX of \
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-4-686.templates
It looks as though the '_' was inserted to prevent the actions from being run.
The change in the device naming system didn't cause me any problems,
but coding in a warning of the change might be warranted.
Thanks.

I wouldn't expect any of these to make a change.
Please try linux-image-2.6.32-4-686, version 2.6.32-11, which is
currently in unstable. This has new drivers for most IDE controllers,
which may well fix this problem.
