2.6 and ide cdrom

[Nicolas Triantafillou]

just a follow up to this if anyone was wondering..

compiling 2.6.9 with the libata patch 
(ftp://ftp.au.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/2.6.9-libata1.patch.gz) 
  seemed to have made it work. not sure what 2.6.8 which comes with 
fai-kernels problem is, but i didnt have any ide controllers when I 
tried to use it.

will test tomorrow with vanilla 2.6.9 and see if that fixes it.. then 
all I have to do is wait for fai kernels with 2.6.9.

cheers,
Nicolas.
