SATA DVD drive not detected in Jaunty

[gtdaqua]

Ever since testing Jaunty on my Dell Optiplex 740, the SATA DVD drive is not detected.

Updated the Dell BIOS and issue persists. I reported a bug last month and still no updates!

I am running Kernel 2.6.28-11-generic

Can anybody help? I am still having this issue.

I installed Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 4 and the SATA DVD drive was detected without any problems!

I am happy that I can move away from Hardy 8.04. Back on the bleeding-edge distro!

Kernel:
