Interesting that worked in bug #198319 in cases where lilo was installed, although I installed fresh 11.04 and 11.10 from scratch so no lilo upgraded to switch to grub, just straight fresh install to grub.
I checked out bug #198319, interesting, but unsure why it would it possibly work in those cases where lilo is installed but not grub, what could grub be doing to disable the cdrom? There isn't an option to disable optical drive on the Lenovo 3000 N200, only choice of SATA controller type AHCI or Compatible. I tried both but the cdrom still did not work. I also set BIOS defaults but cdrom still did not work. The only way I can get the cdrom to load is by setting acpi=off in grub loader but this is not suitable as power functions are not active, battery management not enabled, fans not controlled etc., not good for effective cooling. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/856253 Title: CD/DVD drive not detected on Lenovo3000-N200 with ACPI enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/856253/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
