I pulled this Debian boot cd hoping for a newer kernel and it's wants to load modules from a floppy!!! I can't even get
it up and running. I should have known with dino Debian.
Try downloading the latest gentoo live CD and boot it up. Then do a dmesg | less and look for you DVD drive. The good
thing about the gentoo live CD is that it loads about every module you can think of for SATA.
