Hrmmm... ok.

Can you poke inside the box? Is the CD a Goldstar/LG Electronics unit?
Then some linux kernel version you used might have fried its firmware
(happened on a CD-ROM I had in a Dell... there was some big noise last
year that some Mandrake version was killing CD units).

Is the unit jumpered as master? Dell likes to set them to cable
select.

Can you try and connect another device (known good) to the motherboard
connector?
