I'm having the identical problem with the lite-on blu-ray IOS104 blu-ray drive on an ASUS M4N68T (nvidia mcp61 chipset) motherboard with fedora 12 (2.6.31.5).
I tried upgrading to 2.6.32.19 to take advantage of this patch, but this *does not* fix the problem for me. I also tried to boot the maverick alpha 3 live cd from this drive so I could try 2.6.35, but no luck there either. After the initial bootup by the bios the drive is lost when the kernel is loaded. Similar to what others have reported, I am able to boot mandriva 2007.0 from the drive w/o problems. I looked closer at the patch and it is only for mcp5x chipsets which explains why this is still an issue for me on the latest kernels. I was wondering if it would be possible to compile the version of nv_sata used in mandriva 2007 with the kernel in fedora and boot with this modified kernel whenever I needed to use the drive as a work around until this gets fixed for my hardware. Would there be conflicts between of an old nv_sata and a new kernel? I am a linux noobie and have never tried compiling the kernel before, so I have no idea how feasible this is or how to try it myself. -- SATA DVD drive not detected in Jaunty (testing) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344093 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
