SATA DVD not recognized

["." <listrcv@condor-werke.com>]

Hi,

I´m trying to get a Plextor 712-SA DVD drive working on an Asus A8N-SLI
with kernel 2.6.13. I can load the libata and sata_nv modules, and there
are messages about adding and removing SATA devices. Also, it says the
SATA device on the first SATA port, which is the DVD drive, is being
configured for UDMA33.

I have only the first two SATA ports enabled in the BIOS, and they show
up as scsi2 and scsi3. The system is SCSI only except for the DVD drive.

I cannot access the DVD drive because there´s no device for it. It also
doesn´t show up in /proc/scsi/scsi.

I figure it should be accessible as /dev/sr1 or /dev/scd1 besides my
SCSI CDROM which is scd0. But it doesn´t exist.

Is there any documentation on the sata_nv and libata modules in the
kernel docs? I couldn´t find anything useful for libata and nothing for
sata_nv.

Any ideas how I can get it working?

Is there any manufacturer left making SCSI DVDs? SATA sucks.
