[ale] Debian 2.6.8/Plextor dvd help please

[jknapka at kneuro.net (Joe Knapka)]

Just a thought: you may need to configure the drive to use SCSI
emulation in order to see it from Linux.  Adding a boot param like
"hdc=ide-scsi" to the kernel command line should work (but check the
kernel docs to be sure).
