The first thing I would check is to see if the DVD burner was
detected as a new drive, and the /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd, etc are not
being created. Udev remembers the attached DVD drives, and probably
thinks that because the drive is on a new controller it is a new
drive. Check the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules file, and
see if it lists more then one CD/DVD device. If so, you can either
edit the file, or delete it and let it be re-created on the next boot.
As a quick check to see if the DVD drive is being seen by the
system, put a data disk in the drive and try, as root, to mount it.
mkdir /mnt/cd
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cd
