This is a long-shot. If you've upgraded I believe that from Edgy onwards
IDEs drives map to /dev/sdda (etc) rather than /dev/hdda (etc) not just
SATA drives. This should only related to hard drives, so may be

Sort of...I still can't access the drive like I used to at /media/cdrom,
media/cdrom0 or media/cdrom1 like I have configured fstab, but I can

The link you sent reminded me - if you're only using rubyripper to rip,
you may have hit a known bug with rubyripper whereby it doesn't respect

Well, a simple thing to check is whether or not ide-scsi is enabled for
the dvd-rom vs the other drive you're ripping with. On most systems
this will need to be enabled in order for cdparanoia to use the drive.
