Been tring to upgrade them from XenServer v5.5 to v5.6.1 fp1 and couldn't becusae of an error during the install. Somthnig about repository not found. The dvd drives in these desktop are sliml ones similar to the type that fit into laptops. Anyway the solution was to attach another dvd drive (it was a dvd r/w) and the installed worked fine.

I did a 'modprobe -l' on a subsequent reboot and found that the ide-generic module was already loaded. What I did find was that switching to a SATA DVDRW drive did work as yours did. ‘modprobe ide-generic’ did not work for me.
