/dev/cdrom0 or /dev/hdd have worked in the past. I normally stick with
/dev/hdd to reduce the chance of a symlink being astray somewhere.
Errors with a disk fresh out of the box: [1]
One thing I noticed about the differences between your report and my
report was that I have
atapi: 1
Is atapi still used with the 2.6 kernel? If not, why has it been
picked up by ubuntu and can it be switched off?
There is also a bug on launchpad about hal not recognising blank media
and my update manager currently wants to update hal. So, I'll send
this email and then update, reboot and report any differences.
Thanks once again
Adam
