Details:
I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Y710 with an Optiarc DVD+/-R/RW drive, and using GRUB
(both GRUB2 and legacy, for what it's worth) does something to the drive that
makes renders it inoperable. Booting Ubuntu 8.04.1 using GRUB2 makes it so
that there is not even a device entry for the drive, and nothing will
automount either (CD or DVD). There has been quite a lot of discussion about
this in some of the forums (Debian and Ubuntu), and it happens with other
vendors' drives as well (Nec comes to mind, and there have been others in the
discussions).
The drive does work - I can boot from it using any of the live CDs, and it
works when I boot directly into Vista by changing the boot order for the hard
drives (I have two).
One other symptom is that using GRUB to boot the PC causes the drive activity
light to stay on constantly until I open the DVD drive; the light then works
normally, but the DVD drive never does.
