I have the same problem with totally different hardware (IBM R40 laptop with DVD-ROM). With kernel 2.6.27-11 the DVD-ROM doesn't recognised.
With kerel 2.6.24-23 everything works fine. Somebody else have the same problem, reported in ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1003447 (I also updated from 8.04 to 8.10. I'm not sure that this caused the problem). -- cdrom not accessable in kernel 2.6.27-11 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327468 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
