I've updated to kernel 2.6.32-22-generic and I'm experiencing the same problems: after a reboot I'm able to mount DVDs and CDs and burn DVDs for a few minutes, then they stop working until the next reboot.

I've looked at the instructions to test a mainline kernel build:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds

but I'm a bit confused. Those instructions say I should install an *image*.deb file. However, when I look at

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/

There is no *image*.deb file, only *headers*.deb and *sources*.deb files. I'm not sure if I should simply install them, in what order, or what. Also, there's some mention in the wiki that those kernels probably won't work if I use restricted drivers; I use Nvidia propietary drivers, should I try that kernel anyway?
