[mythtvnz] DVD not mounting

[Dylan Hall]

This might be a long shot but I had a similar issue on my gentoo box
when I upgraded to a 2.6.25 kernel.

My IDE controller is unsupported so I have to tell the kernel to use the
generic ide driver. I do this with the following kernel option in grub:

all-generic-ide

The 2.6.25 kernel changes the above option to:

ide-pci-generic.all-generic-ide

When I installed the 2.6.25 kernel and rebooted everything worked
(including booting from the cdrom which is handled by the bios) but the
machine would fail to find the cdrom.
