Normally, SATA CD/DVD drives are not picked up by the current or mm |
| 7 |
kernels. |

There is a libata module option: atapi_enabled since ~2.6.14. If you are |
| 10 |
booting a kernel of that version or greater, simply append |
| 11 |
libata.atapi_enabled=1 to the kernel (if libata is compiled in) or |
| 12 |
modprobe command-line. |
| 13 |
|

If you are using a livecd with an older kernel version, you'll just have to |
| 15 |
hope that the livecd builder applied the necessary patch to older kernels |
| 16 |
to support ATA_ATAPI -- the patch is rather trivial, so if you have other |
| 17 |
hardware that forces you to use one of these older kernels during initial |
| 18 |
install, contact me and I can tell you what to patch. [Heck, I use a |
| 19 |
similar, trivial patch instead or passing a module parameter.] |
