Pleased to say I'm making good progress - video, sound even lirc are all
OK (still lots to play with on profiles) but no dvd drive - in fact the
kernel config doesn't seem to be seeing the sata bus at all.

I've tried both AHCI and SATA modes in the BIOS but no joy :-( The BIOS
itself sees it OK and I can boot a LiveCD in it so physically its OK.

Nothing appears to be hiding in the /dev directory under cdrom, dvd or sda
so I'm a bit flummoxed

Ho hum...
