problems with deskpro machine

[Bry Melvin]

I've considered writing a bug report on these as a search doesn't show any but: They're not critical , and on breezy, so I'm putting them here first to see if someone else has worked around them.

I've done quite a few installations as we have migrated from OS/2. this is the first time I've run into either problem: Maybe do to older machine I think the problems may be machine specific

The machine in question is a Comapaq Deskpro 6266mmx, It is used mainly for file storage, The version supports 4 internal ide and internal and external scsi.

Ubuntu is installed on the first ide channel 60 Gig boot drive
CDRW is installed on ide 2
Everything else is scsi

Problems:

Nautilus burn can't see the new disk put into the drive, just keeps asking for the media to be put in.

If you close that and then mount the empty cd...it mounts (of course it really doesn't just looks that way) and shows the contents of the cd as what is in the burn folder.

Strange:

I Installed Gnome baker It seems to work normally.
Drive is Sony crx100e


The other "feature" is that "reboot" never works, additionally it will not reboot on power failure either. This happens wether the power switch is set at suspend or power. This leaves the machine unable to be rebooted unnattended on power
 failure. The setup program for the bios allows either quickboot always quickboot with fullboot after time period or always full boot. That setting also seemed to make no difference. Reboot also fails with "sudo shutdown -r now"

Although this machine is old this surprised me. The machine intended to be unix capable  when manufactured. It's been running OS/2  since then however.

Other than that the alarm system (computer can't start without administrator intervention if the case is opened) doesn't seem to work, but as this hasn't been tested in years that could be a hardware switch failure and have nothing to do with ubuntu.
