My system is using a Sony DDU220E for it's primary CD-ROM drive, and the
latest stable kernel (2.2.15) has repeatedly failed to detect it. The
kernel gives a message identifying the drive as a line of gibberish, and
calling it an ATAPI device type 31. I made a quick patch (attached) to
force the correct detection. After this patch, the drive works
perfectly mounting both CD-ROMS and DVDs. Any suggestions on how to
make this less kludgey? Thanks.
