   Has anybody been able to get a lite-on LH-20A1L dvdrw to work?   
      
   My motherboard has two SATA controllers, an nforce4, and a sil3114.  The   
   dvdrw doesn't work with either.   
      
   Am I missing some driver, one for SATA optical drives?   
      
   The drive shows up in dmesg, and /proc/scsi/scsi, but it doesn't get a drive   
   letter and I can't mount or give it an eject command.
