He has a SATA harddrive and an IDE DVD drive. When he compiles with CONFIG_ATA_PIIX (a driver which advertises both SATA and PATA in its description) his drive works, his DVD does not. Is that not the correct driver? Does he need something else? How does he get his DVD to work?

Well of course the DVD should show up as /dev/sr0 or scd0 with the new
driver, not the /dev/hd? name.  And scsi cdrom support is required too.

Obviously. Looking back through the report, him having SCSI CD-ROM support wasn't actually explicit so that might in fact be the problem but his self-compiled 2.6.20.15 worked and a 2.6.22 based Open SuSE Live CD does not (and he does have SCSI disk support, which suggests he will've likely also have thought of SCSI CD-ROM support) so it does not seem to be.

José: do you have SCSI CD-ROM support compiled in? What are the ATA/SCSI related messages in the output of "dmesg" when you compile with the CONFIG_ATA_PIIX driver, SCSI disk and SCSI CD-ROM support (and nothing from the old IDE menu)?
