Greetings all.
I've just built a new box, and installed Suse-AMD64.
Needless to say, it has a couple of problems that I could use some help 
with.
I'll do this with a couple of threads, so I don't get them crossed up.

I'll start with the set-up

Suse 9.2 AMD 64

AMD Athlon 64 3600+
ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe mobo
1 GB Corsair XMS DDR 400 memory
2x 12gb Maxtor 120gb SATA hd
Sony CD-RW DVD ide (reader)
Plextor PX-712SA DVD-RW SATA
BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC

Problem #1

I can't get it to recognoize the Plextor SATA DVD burner. At all.
The box is multi boot, and I've burned DVDs with that drive in WinXP, 
but it doesn't even show up in hwinfo under Suse 9.2

I've checked the Hardware Compatability list from the Suse site, and it 
was unclear about this drive.
Does anyone here have any experience with the Plextor SATA DVD Burner? 
(the PX-712sa to be specific)?

I could really use some pointers on whether or not this drive is even 
supported.

Thank you in advance (I'll approach the second problem in a different 
thread).
