I can confirm that this also occurs on a new Lenovo IdeaPad Y710, which has an IDE connected Optiarc DVD RW AD-7560A. I was able to boot the install CD for the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 8.04 and install went fine, but the DVD/CD drive is not even seen after the initial reboot. Oddly, when booting the PC, the disk drive activity light stays on constantly until the CD drawer is opened - it then acts normally.
I don't even get the /dev/scd0 device, and I can't find anything in the DMESG output or the system logs that is meaningful to me. I've tried the all_generic_ide=1 and that made no difference. I even set the region of the DVD drive (from the preinstalled Vista partition) to 1 and that did not make any difference either. I'm thinking I might have to go back to Gutsy, or maybe even find another distro (nah, just kidding) - I really need to have a working CD/DVD/R/RW drive... -- DVD writer not working since hardy upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228624 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
