Most current laptops ship with a PATA hard drive, and a PATA ATAPI drive. The easiest way to make them usable under Linux-2.6 is to patch libata and turn on ATAPI support, using ata_piix. This REALLY ought to be on by default now, Jeff. Especially since the default is to NOT work at all..
Note: I'm refering to the existing PATA ATAPI support in libata here, not the forthcoming SATA ATAPI support! The PATA ATAPI works now -- perhaps it could be turned on by default while efforts continue to implement support for SATA ATAPI devices.
