FWIW, I tested two different drives in my machine (an LG DVD burner and a Panasonic slot-in DVD-ROM drive). Both worked fine in the installer, so I would assume that the IDE controller and Linux are able to cope with any kind of ATAPI CD/DVD drive? I do think the drive should be set as Master or Cable Select with a suitable cable. AFAIK the IDE cables that came with my Ultra 10 were Cable Select ones. I did have several problems with the floppy drive, but once I disconnected it, the installer worked fine. Still don't have a clue what the problem is, but I don't need the floppy drive anyway.
