sata optical drive, i865 and 2.6.10

sata optical drive, i865 and 2.6.10

[P'tit Lu]

	Good evening and please excuse my english ;)
I read that you are the libata maintainer.

i supposed it is ok for sata hard disks, but Santa Claus brought me a
serial ata dvd burner. Plextor PX712-SA.
Here are the logs when i boot up :

modprobe ata_piix :

Dec 26 04:07:42 rabbit kernel: ata_piix version 1.03
Dec 26 04:07:42 rabbit kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device

Dec 26 04:07:43 rabbit kernel: ata2: SATA port has no device.
Dec 26 04:07:43 rabbit kernel: scsi9 : ata_piix

And nothing more.

One more info, this is a 2.6.10 kernel and a i865 chipset (ICH5).

It is just a question of time for sata optical drives to be supported ?
Thanks for all

#define this, at the top of include/linux/libata.h:

#undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI         /* define to enable ATAPI support */
