There is a bug in the ATAPI driver in 2.2.6 that causes detection
problems. You need to install from a DOS partition or FTP, d/l the
updated file(s) and rebuild the kernel, or install a later release.

I didn't use 2.2.6 myself so I can't be more specific (exact filenames
etc.). Try the mail archives again (the non-availability must have
been temporary). Search for ATAPI and 2.2.6, there were lots of
messages about this problem.
