SUPRISE!
See somebody did answer. Now peel yourself off the floor and lets continue...
I doubt very much that this is a problem with linux and relates more to your
SATA controller chipset. Most chipsets assume that you'd only connect a
harddrive and therefore only support harddrives.
What is your SATA controller chipset? If you've got more than one kind have
you tried on the other?
BTW, I know this to be true because I wanted to buy a plextor CD drive and
found out it was incompatible with my motherboards SATA chipsets :-(
