I'm having the identical problem with the lite-on blu-ray IOS104 blu-ray
drive on an ASUS M4N68T (nvidia mcp61 chipset) motherboard with fedora
12 (2.6.31.5).

I tried upgrading to 2.6.32.19 to take advantage of this patch, but this
*does not* fix the problem for me. I also tried to boot the maverick
alpha 3 live cd from this drive so I could try 2.6.35, but no luck there
either. After the initial bootup by the bios the drive is lost when the
kernel is loaded. Similar to what others have reported, I am able to
boot mandriva 2007.0 from the drive w/o problems.

I looked closer at the patch and it is only for mcp5x chipsets which
explains why this is still an issue for me on the latest kernels.

I was wondering if it would be possible to compile the version of
nv_sata used in mandriva 2007 with the kernel in fedora and boot with
this modified kernel whenever I needed to use the drive as a work around
until this gets fixed for my hardware. Would there be conflicts between
of an old nv_sata and a new kernel? I am a linux noobie and have never
tried compiling the kernel before, so I have no idea how feasible this
is or how to try it myself.
