Re: driver for Lite-on iHAS324-98 DVD writer

I just started a new thread which supersedes this one, as I think my problem is not actually a driver problem but the more notorious issue of SATA drives not being detected (specifically, "No common CD-ROM drive was detected").

Mr. Johnson -- 

Regarding your suggestion of adding a rootdelay=10 line to the boot kernel:  how do I go about doing that?  I'm attempting to install onto a blank hard drive from Debian Lenny DVDs, so I don't think there's anywhere that I can write to which makes sense.  Would I need to do a boot from USB drive to make this work?

Does anyone know where I can find a linux driver for the Lite-on iHAS324-98 DVD writer?  I'm trying to install Debian on a brand-new, assembled-from-parts workstation, and I'm getting a complaint about this.  Interestingly, the DVD reader is recognized well enough to boot from the Debian DVD I inserted into the drive!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
