first, you should check if the jumpers on all (!) ATA devices are set
correctly:

Set the masters to "master" and the DVD and CDRW to "slave" (not
cable-select).

If that doesn't help, check the cables. Perhaps you have some spare
cables and you can change them.

If that doesn't help, provide us with your complete dmesg.
