Comment 91 for bug 283316

rfurman24: FYI, my computer has an IDE DVD+/-RW drive and to test to see if your problem is reproducible on my system, I added an IDE CD-ROM drive and they both work fine when testing them with two different Live CDs.

As per sudo lshw:

I don't think that this is this bug.
