I have an Intel Anchorage (AN430TX) mainboard with a Sony CDU611 IDE CDRom on the secondary ide controller (wdc1). It finds my sony just fine on wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa. It detects all the goodies that come with that cdrom as well... check to make sure you haven't commented out wdc1 and scd0 (if you have a Sony) from the kernel config file.
