I have the same problem with the feisty hord1 x86 Destop CD.

This problem is not limited to Ubuntu but is a general kernel problem in the >= 2.6.18 kernel series. They introduced a new error handling for libata which disables my DVD drive at boot (I have the same Pioneer model as you on a Dell I6000 notebook with intel 915gm chipset). Maybe this problem was fixed in kernel 2.6.20rc2 - I didn't have the chance to test it yet.

For more information confer e.g. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7608

There is still enough time to get this fixed upstream and include a working kernel in feisty I'd say ;)
