Comment 8 for bug 605716

Lee,

Thanks!!

I'm guessing its a kernel problem?? Is there any hopes that the
Maverick kernel has resolved the issue?? It worked perfect when I was
running Karmic but ever since upgrade both drives stopped working. I
even did a clean reinstall of Lucid from CD thinking it could have been
something with the upgrade process but it is still the same. If I boot
with a disc in the tray it is recognized about 50% of the time and it
will play normally for anywhere between 2 and 30 mins then it quits and
there is a disconnect somewhere??? It even does it if the disc is
currently being read ie... I can be watching a movie and it will just
stop like the disc was ejected?

Ive searched for months for possible solutions and have found nothing
that has worked yet. I hope this issue get resolved soon not having a
CD/DVD drive is really a pain.

They show up in disk utility and dmesg I have entries in fstab have
tweaked with the bios settings completely removed the drives and
reinstalled them. I have tried to manually mount them via terminal and
get device not found and other similar errors.

I do a lot of video/audio editing and have had to use one of my old
machines instead of my main computer. You would think that this would
be resolved as I have found hundreds of posts on it in various forums.
Which I am sure is only a small percentage as most people would just go
find another OS and use it. I really love Ubuntu and would hate to have
to downgrade to something else. It is truly an amazing OS!!

Thanks,
Mike
