Sadly, I do. My motherboard has a promise sata controller and a via 
kt800 IIRC (it's an asus a8v deluxe). Since only the via sata ports 
recognize the DVD, I put it there.. But in linux, all goes wrong. Ever 
played russian roulette? That's a bit how the drive reacts.. If you run 
"wodim -checkdrive dev=/dev/scd0" , every time it returns different 
supported burn methods. And even when it returns TAO, it wont burn. 
The same drive works perfectly under windows, but since I nuked the 
windows install , I'm stuck with using my old burner through a usb cage.
