Well, I can now confirm that on my Ubuntu virtual machine, the 2.6.20-16.28 kernel image now plays properly with the optical drive. It recognizes the drive as a CD-RW and DVD+/-RW drive, reads media, etc.
I would say that this bug is fixed (as Phillip mentioned when he said the kernel update would be coming). Thanks for your work on this and I do hope that a point release comes out in the future.
