SATA DVD 7.10 AMD64 will not mount any CDs or DVDs Ubuntu
Hello all I hope there is someone out there who can provide some assistance. I decided that to bring in the new year I would make the jump to x64. Sadly I have had little success. I downloaded the alternate install cd Burned it and began my install only to get stopped before it got going. I was presented with the following error.
Quote:
Your installation CD-ROM couldn't me mounted. This probably means that the cdrom was not in the drive. If so you can insert it and try again.
After doing a bit of research I determined that I could by pass this error simply by using a IDE cdrom drive I had laying around the house. From then on it was smooth sailing. Until the install was complete. I removed the IDE cdrom, and went along with my configuring of the system. When it came time to install my games I discovered that my SATA DVDROM and DVD burnner were still not able to mount any cds. When a cd was insterted It would attempt to auto mount and then give me an error message saying it couldn't mount the cd. I tried numerous cds and DVDs but none will mount. I then Flashed my motherboard Bios in hope that might correct the problem as It did for others in the forums. not luck it seems to have worsend the problem, now when a cd is inserted to my cdrom drives the computer restarts. I hope there is some one out there who can help.Listed below is all of the information I could think to provide.

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

I was unable to fix the problem. - I was told the issue lies in the x64 kernel its self. It seems it does not know how to handle the SATA cdroms. I have since switched back to x86 until the new release of Ubuntu.
