Yes, my problems are continuing (with booting and recognition of LG CH10LS drive), and makes no difference if it's 32 or 64 bit (happens with all Ubuntu 10.10 based distros). The distro is simply not recognizing the LG as a live drive, and then takes forever to boot up while it tries.

One trick I have found though, is that if I put a disk in the LG, and close the door during boot of U-10.10, it will recognize the drive, and work perfectly. Go figure. Once I got the drive recognized, I did all the program updates, and now, more often than not the drive will be recognized, and boot up work correctly. Not perfect, but at least I can use the OS until a bug fix is found, without having to wait though a painfully slow boot up process, and non-recognition of the LG drive. I'll report back later today as I am still working with it.
