I ended up editing the drivers/scsi/libata-core.c and changing the atapi_enabled variable from 0 to 1. That worked for me.

Hello, hope I've made it to right place for my problem. I recently got a SATA-DVD-Burner (Plextor PX-712SA) which isn't recognized by my linux system (Ubuntu Breezy). After searching the net I found out the following things, that I need kernel 2.6.15 (which I installed) and that either there should be the argument libata.atapi_enabled=1 passed to the kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst or a file named "libata" with the content options libata atapi_enabled=1 should be created in /etc/modprobe.d/ and afterwards the kernel should be reconfigured by dpkg-reconfigure [kernel-name] I tried it both ways and also in combination but no matter what I do, the following message always appears, when booting the system: ata1(0): WARNING: ATAPI is disabled, device ignored. I have to admit I'm quite new to linux and still in a state, where I learn to understand how certain things work, so I wanted to ask if anybody has an idea what went wrong so far?
