Plextor SATA DVD writer not recognized

[smeagle]

>> last week I got a Plextor 712SA DVD writer. After installing it, it was not recognized by my installed 6.1 PRERELEASE. [...]

>Do you have other SATA devices that work with this SATA controller? Are there additional channels with no device present shown by "atacontrol list"? Show the output of "pciconf -lv" please.

1. there is a WD Harddrive attached to the first channel of this sata
controller.
2. lots of channels with no device are present. MoBo has 8 sata and 2 ata ports
I also tried diffrent channels with no change.
3. I will.
