I tried the iHOS BD-ROM with a VIA VT6412 SATA controller today and it worked: snippet from dmesg: --- sata_via 0000:06:06.0: version 2.4 ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APC1] enabled at IRQ 16 sata_via 0000:06:06.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC1] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 sata_via 0000:06:06.0: routed to hard irq line 5 scsi0 : sata_via PM: Adding info for scsi:host0 PM: Adding info for No Bus:host0 scsi1 : sata_via PM: Adding info for scsi:host1 PM: Adding info for No Bus:host1 scsi2 : sata_via PM: Adding info for scsi:host2 PM: Adding info for No Bus:host2 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 port i16@0x9000 bmdma 0xa000 irq 16 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 port i16@0x9400 bmdma 0xa008 irq 16 ata3: PATA max UDMA/133 port i16@0x9800 bmdma 0xa010 irq 16 ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) ata1.00: ATAPI: ATAPI iHOS104, WL08, max UDMA/100 ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 scsi 0:0:0:0: CD-ROM ATAPI iHOS104 WL08 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 --- output of lsscsi: --- [0:0:0:0] cd/dvd ATAPI iHOS104 WL08 /dev/sr0 --- I also tried my sata_nv with a 64-bit kernel 2.6.22-3-amd64. I got these messages where it looks like ata3 is finally reset and set at a UDMA/66, but I don't get the drive recognized afterwards: dmesg: --- ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata4: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata3.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x12 data 36 in ata3: soft resetting port ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata3: EH complete ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata3.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x12 data 36 in ata3: soft resetting port ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata3: EH complete ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata3.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x12 data 36 in ata3: soft resetting port ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata3: EH complete ata3.00: limiting speed to UDMA/66:PIO4 ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata3.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x12 data 36 in ata3: soft resetting port ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: configured for UDMA/66 ata3: EH complete hdc: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdc: ATAPI 63X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2000kB Cache, UDMA(66) --- I contacted LiteON technical support in the meantime, but they are no help. They said they tested with one Linux system and it worked. I will probably buy one of the above VIA cards and use it for this drive.
