I do. (I have the multi-burner in the Ultrabase)

Hmm... I always load/unload the ata_piix module, that alone works fine.
I'm using the following kernel parameters to make this work:
hda=noprobe libata.atapi_enable=1
There was a page on thinkwiki that showed how to get DMA working on
the DVD drive in the Ultrabase. Thats were the parameters are coming
from, and the fact that ata_piix is compiled as a module.
You just have to remember to unload ata_piix before undocking.

This even works when not docked while booting.

I'm using kernel 2.6.19.1
