Hi, thanks for your input on this!
I plan on switching to amd64 this weekend, and if I´m lucky, the DVD drive will work with that. If it doesn´t, I´ll try to get a SCSI drive off ebay and wait for newer kernel versions to have improved support for SATA. A most amazing thing was the almost total lack of documentation and info concerning the topic. All I could find, after quite some searching, was the information that I would need to have the libata and, in my case, sata_nv modules, and that there can be problems with it. I couldn´t even find something useful in the kernel docs. Imho, that is worse than a simple statement like ´it doesn´t work (yet)´.
