Bug Description
Installed Ubuntu 8.10, updated to latest available revisions without issue, DVD drive present during install, after required reboot, no dvd drive, no devices present in /dev that would lead to an optical drive.
This is a new laptop, a Lenovo Ideapad Y710 - 2GB Ram - 250 GB HDD - OptiArc DVD-RW - Intel 4965agn wireless - Broadcom NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express - Lenovo EasyCam - Intel HD Audio (ALC888).
Everything, but the DVD, works flawlessly. Please help, I need the DVD drive when I'm on the road for work, and an external unit is not on option.

This problem also influence Ubuntu10.04. And I find that while grub2 run, the LED of DVD would be lighted ,and then I can't find DVD driver in any OS .The LED light will not be turned off until the laptop has been shutdown.
I'm not good at English, so do you know what I mean?

Fixed this issue via installing lilo to replace grub for boot loader - (ref: http:// ubuntuforums. org/showthread. php?t=925803& highlight= Y710). I'd rather a slower/longer boot time, than to miss an essential piece of hardware.
