SATA CD/DVD drive not recognized in Gutsy

I have an HP Pavillion m8011N loaded up with Gutsy. The system sees the
SATA hard drive fine but not the CD/DVD drive hanging off the controller. A
long Google search brought up mentions of others with the same predicament
but little in the way of solutions. Anybody run into this? I have a feeling
it is the crippled BIOS that HP puts into these machines. The CD/DVD drive
is not seen by the BIOS either. I tried loading the ide_cd module to no
effect.
