Make sure that you have installed drivers for those. There might be a HOWTO at the LDP. Go to http://www.ssc.com/linux> and search around a little bit for a reference to the Linux Documentation Project, then look for HOWTOs. I think I remember seeing one for ATAPI devices. Mostly ATAPI devices are CDROMs, so the docs might lean toward that.
