ieee cd-rom fails

[jack angelo]

I'm struggling with the getting my dvd/cdrw device working on my Dell
latitude x200 laptop.  The device is attached via firewire.  When I was
running RH9.0 it was automatically found when I did the install.  On FC1
it fails.  The snippet from a dmesg indicates that the device is found
but fails so initialize:

Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated and would keep me from
going back to RH 9.

thanks,
