I installed Mandrake 7.0 on my P3-500 with all sorts of goodies and somehow managed to get everything working except the ATAPI Sony DVD-Rom drive.  I found that the 2.2.14 kernel does not yet support DVDs but I thought that it could still access it as a CD-Rom drive.
 
During boot-up, I get a status message that it's an unknown device.  The message spells out that it's an ATAPI drive type 17 but it can't access it.  The strange part is that this is the same drive that I used to boot up the Mandrake Linux CD and run the install and the install even added a mount entry for it in /etc/fstab.
 
Any ideas on what might be going wrong here?
 
Thanks in advance,
Glen
