SATA Promise

I'm trying to use the sata_promise driver (1.04) with a CDROM
and having little luck. I'm using this chipset:
00:0b.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC40775 (SATA 300 TX2plus) (rev 02)

If I plug in a SATAPI drive, the driver hangs during initialization. If I plug in a (PATA) ATAPI drive, I'm told:

ata3.01: ATAPI, max MWDMA2
ata3.01: configured for MWDMA2
Vendor: ATA Model: ST3250824NS Rev: 3.AE
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05
ata3.01: WARNING: ATAPI is not supported with this driver, device ignored.

Is there any way to get this working (I'm using Linux 2.6.18, with linux-2.6-sata-promise-pata-ports.patch from Fedora Core 6)

Thanks for any help/pointers
