Thanks for responding.
Hope you don't mind a personal reply this time
(I don't know what I'm expected to do "officially"!).
I tried "modprobe sr_mod" but it didn't get loaded.
I'm attaching the dmesg file you asked for.

The 'cdrom' module is not a driver but is *used* by drivers. The driver
for the SATA interface (ata_piix in this case) is supposed to detect
SATA devices and request the appropriate driver for the device types
found (sr_mod for a CD-ROM). Since sr_mod has not been loaded, it
appears that the problem is in device detection. (And loading sr_mod
should have no more effect than loading cdrom, because no device has
been found for it to bind to.)

You should keep cc'ing the bug address. I've forwarded your message
this time.

After reading the Ubuntu bug report (#794642) I found that this Debian bug is also due to the SATA mode in my computer being set to IDE. When this is changed to AHCI the problem vanishes: /dev/cdrom appears.

OK, this shows:

Right, I thought that might work.
Would you mind testing the patch with the SATA interface back in
legacy/IDE mode?
