Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The computer fails to connect to the LG iHOS-104 DVD drive. The drive is working, as it will boot the Windows installer. I have seen similar bugs posted on the internet for the past 5 years. Here's a thread that shows the problem fixed for the MCP55 chipset. http://www.gossamer- threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1234502?do=post_view_threaded#1234502 I think that this is similar in nature. Please let me know any further information that can be supplied. I'm sorry if I've missed any of the standard stuff.
