Hi,
Starting from Gutsy, the old IDE chipset drivers are no longer included in the
kernel package. The libata based drivers, being cleaner and easier to maintain,
have taken the places of the old drivers.
However, external CD writers don't work with the new libata based IDE drivers.

If your chipset is not supported by libata, and you want rebuild the kernel

Warning: The latest feisty kernel upgrade can render your system
unbootable. Considering that nobody has responded to my bug report to
the kernel team yet for more than an hour, I am cross-posting to
ubuntu-devel-discuss and ubuntu-users.
