I fixed this bug by changing a bios setting. if your system is capable of running the drive in true SATA or AHCI mode, or in my case RAID mode (this turned on SATA for me) then be sure to enable it and then it should work. GRUB doesn't seem to like drives being handed two different hardware system, or it being handed to emulated as another hardware type else it will say something about ATA bug and disabled the interface for the cd-rom. The only reason it can't disable it on bootup off the live CD disk is because it's in use on start up and get denied.
just keep in mind that if you xp already on the system it will not be able to run it with the disk mode change in the bios.. and xp usually doesn't have SATA drivers built in. If you switch raid more on then be sure to ether slipstream the SATA drivers to XP or run Vista which most SATA controllers with no problems. http://www.techarp.com/showfreebog.aspx?lang=0&bogno=313 -- Cd-Rom drives do not show up after dapper kernel update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/55955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
