MONK, Thank you for the suggestion. from a read of bug 198319, I think this is a separate issue. 198319 seems to be relevant mainly to laptops with a vista/ubuntu dual boot configuration; also it looks like the problems detailed in 198319 go back at least to ubuntu 7.10 and are probably buried in the kernel itself as they have also been reported on SUSE.
My problem was specific to Ubuntu 8.10; also my configuration is an XP/Ubuntu dual boot setup on a desktop. This desktop previously ran XP/ubuntu 8.4. On 8.4 the CD drive worked, so my case is a regression issue that is particular to 8.10. Anyway, I'm no longer able to test this. I got tired of monkeying around with basic functionality problems in 8.10; 8.10 seems entirely too buggy for me. I reverted back to ubuntu 7.10 (I chose 7.10 over 8.4 for unrelated issues pertaining to restricted graphics card drivers). Now the machine is solid as a rock.
