Bug Description

Jaunty doesn't detect my DVD writer. From dmesg i noticed some lines possibly related to this:

[ 3.533050] ata5: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0xffa0 irq 14
[ 3.808051] ata5.00: NODEV after polling detection

I tried running 'sudo modprobe ide_generic' & 'sudo modprobe ata_piix' but I just get the message: 'FATAL: Module <module> not found.'

I'm running 64bit Jaunty.

affects: ubuntu → linux (Ubuntu)

I tried booting from LiveUSB 9.04 and it detects my DVD writer just fine. I even tried reading a CD and it worked. I didn't try burning a disc but I don't think it'll have trouble there. It's just the installed system that seems to have trouble with detecting the drive.

Fixed by doing a clean installation of Jaunty.
