Same problem for me with a BENQ DW-1620/Plextor 24/10/40A. I was not able to install a clean 8.04 with the standard live cd (32 bit). the text-based installer worked, with some funny messages concerning the drive. now 8.04 is up and running, albeit with the following glitches:
Switching to the terminals with Strg-Alt-1...6 brings the well-known error "hda: drive not ready for command". Login is impossible. A blank cd is mounted (although the drive is empty). Brasero won't start, not even giving error messages when invoked from the terminal. The still resulting process "brasero" is not killable, at least not by means of the system monitor. The drive's eject button doesn't yield a result. If I follow the above-mentioned suggestions about resetting the drive, all of these symptoms vanish, BUT: brasero won't offer the drive for recording. I took the Plextor out of my box, exchanged it for the BENQ and so forth, to no avail. After posting the requested logs I'm gonna take the Plextor out again and connect the BENQ as slave. I seem to remember such a suggestion. ** Attachment added: "dmesg.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14750990/dmesg.log -- hdc: status error: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223780 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
