[Bug 605716] Re: CD/DVD Drives not recognized since upgrade to Lucid.

[Michael Bonertz]

Lee,

Thanks!!

I'm guessing its a kernel problem??  Is there any hopes that the
Maverick kernel has resolved the issue??  It worked perfect when I was
running Karmic but ever since upgrade both drives stopped working.  I
even did a clean reinstall of Lucid from CD thinking it could have been
something with the upgrade process but it is still the same.  If I boot
with a disc in the tray it is recognized about 50% of the time and it
will play normally for anywhere between 2 and 30 mins then it quits and
there is a disconnect somewhere???  It even does it if the disc is
currently being read ie... I can be watching a movie and it will just
stop like the disc was ejected?

Ive searched for months for possible solutions and have found nothing
that has worked yet.  I hope this issue get resolved soon not having a
CD/DVD drive is really a pain.  

They show up in disk utility and dmesg I have entries in fstab have
tweaked with the bios settings completely removed the drives and
reinstalled them.  I have tried to manually mount them via terminal and
get device not found  and other similar errors.  

I do a lot of video/audio editing and have had to use one of my old
machines instead of my main computer.  You would think that this would
be resolved as I have found hundreds of posts on it in various forums.
Which I am sure is only a small percentage as most people would just go
find another OS and use it.  I really love Ubuntu and would hate to have
to downgrade to something else.  It is truly an amazing OS!!


Thanks,
Mike
