Comment 193 for bug 283316

OK, I made some progress. I harvested a couple more optical drives from old PC's that I'd not yet had time to look at and 20111007.1 seems to be OK, but 20111007 was junk and holds a potential to destroy optical drives.

I've also retested with that original Asus drive and it's also OK with 20111007.1 but I will not mess with 20111007 anymore, it's going in the waste bin. I'll watch for any recurrence of this with upcoming Oneiric rebuilds.

Normally I wouldn't be so concerned with the cost of an optical drive or two, but 2011 has not been kind to me financially ;^)

Anyway, no need for a new bug report ATM.
