Is there a way around this JMicron problem (DVD not recognised) or

I have a 2.6.18.1 kernel and that recognises my JMicron IDE drives OK (just a CD/DVD like yours).
It only worked with the release version of 2.6.18 though, it was fixed very late in the development cycle.
Now that is interesting! I'm using kernel 2.6.20 - so why doesn't mine work? Did you have to change any settings in the BIOS and, if not, why does yours work and mine doesn't?
I don't think I did anything particularly clever in the BIOS. To see my Abit AB9 Pro installation saga take a look at:-

I actually bought a SATA CD/DVD to overcome the JMicron problem initially and then built a 2.6.18.1 kernel after installing a lesser 2.6.18 kernel.
I can look at my BIOS settings when I get home if you want.
