I have an Asus M51va that gave the same problem since I bought it (almost 1 year ago) on vista it stopped playing dvds after a while and device disappeared from control panel, so I had to restart the pc to get it back on work on ubuntu it was impossible to eject the dvd... sent laptop to support, they changed the dvd drive but problem still the same firmware was SR04 tried firmware from HP but cannot install (it cannot find any device to apply patch) when I was already exhausted and trying to get my money back from the seller, I found a firmware (SR07) for my dvd drive installed it from windows and now just running ubuntu without any problem with sara ahci enabled in bios
this firmware looks like a preview of what hitachi/lg will deliver one day asus support lost the chance to gain new future customer... more details on procedure/links on solarisnevada.blogspot.com just one note: I haven't found the procedure to rollback in case firmware upgrade fails...be careful before going on -- DVDRAM GSA-T50L will not write DVD's or CD's https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307477 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
