DVD/RW drive on laptop not recognized in Feisty

[Morten Holmstrup]

My dvd burner is not being recognized/mounted on Feisty.

The laptop is a new Asus S96S and the drive is a tsstcorp ts-l632d.

I have tried upgrading the firmware to no avail.

The drive is recognized correctly in Dapper, but not in Gutsy. I have not tried Edgy.

Other distros;
Fedora 7 can't recognize it, but PCLinuxOS can.

I will try to attach some relevant info - please let me know if you need more.

thanks

I have just confirmed that this bug does not exist in Edgy.
But upgrading the distro to Feisty "removed" my drive.

This has got to be a Feisty problem.

I just found this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/84603 which cleared things up for me and even contained a small fix.
This is a serious issue and it took me several days to track down a fix...

I marked this as a duplicate - hope that's correct.
