CD drive stopped working after upgrade from Edgy to Feisty(herd 5)

CD drive stopped working after upgrade from Edgy to Feisty(herd 5)

I didn't notice this problem until I tried to use a cd. Then I noticed that when I put a cd in the drive, it doesn't spin or anything. It will still spin when I first turn on the computer with a disk inside., or if I boot into windows.

I noticed that my /etc/fstab/ points to /dev/hdc, but that no longer exists. Furthermore, "dmesg | grep -i cd-rom" gives no output,
and "df -h" doesn't mention a CD Drive either.

Gateway support website says the cd drive is called a "Mitsumi 20X/48X IDE CD-ROM Rev. 1"

Steps to Reproduce
1. Upgrade computer to Feisty herd 5
2. Try to use a cd

Tell me what additional info I need and I'll put it up.

I'm fairly certain this is a duplicate of some other bug - other people seem to be compianing, but it seems to affect some cd drves more than others.

I get this when I try to mount /dev/sdb
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb,

       missing codepage or other error

       (could this be the ide device where you in fact use

       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

       in some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

       dmesg | tail or so

$ dmesg | tail

I can boot from the feisty live cd, but when I choose the default option (something like start or install ubuntu (with quiet splash removed) it starts, but the cd drive spins really loudly, ata2: tries the same things over and over, telling me to be patient, and eventually I have to eject the cd and turn off the computer.

Booting from the hard disk also does this, but when I eject the cd, it continues to boot. I just can't use the cd drive.

dmesg | less and a search for CD returns "No Pattern Found" Also I confirmed that this bug also occurs on another computer of the same type

Do you still have this problem in Feisty Final?

[sem (semitones)]

Yes. Upgrading to Gutsy fixed it at first, but then further upgrades caused it to not work. I'm tempted to just buy a newer cd drive, or maybe a new computer entirely

[sem (semitones)]

CDs work fine now in Hardy :)
