Which kernel version?
Is this a case of a SATA main disk and an IDE cdrom?
What does your /etc/fstab say?
I can possibly give you pointers - Andrew Pollock had a similar
problem on a Dell laptop and his blog gave me the steps I needed to
get it working. [It wasn't immediately apparent - but it did give me a
couple of useful tips and ended a frustrating week of trying to work it
out for myself :) ]
