More testing revealed that 1) the problem still persists with Gutsy's linux-image-2.6.22-5-generic and 2) the problem is probably caused by the CD-ROM firmware, replacing the Mitsumi drive with a Plextor drive fixed the problem: the Plextor was correctly detected as CD-ROM, whereas the Mitsumi is always detected as a non-removable harddisk.
The solution would probably be to hardcode the SR243T as CD-ROM device so that it won't be claimed by sd_mod. -- [feisty] CD-ROM drive is not detected correctly since transition to ata_piix for PATA devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99800 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
