I've had the same problem with hardy alpha 5.
after some time, it falls under the busybox prompt.
(I had no problem with ubuntu 6.04)

There may be an interesting detail : I've got also a plextor DVDR PX-740A. (hda)
(motherboard asus a7n8x-e deluxe)

I managed to save some logs (dmesg, casper.log and /proc/ide/hda/*).
It may be useful.

Each time I did a cat /proc/ide/hda/capacity, I got some "hda: drive not ready for command" and a capacity of 25888529.
(it is strange that the copy of this file gave me 75043832).

Another strange thing:
the 1st time I did cat /proc/ide/hda/identify, there was only zeros, (and the hda not ready for command).
the other times I got something else (but always the hda not ready for command).

And finally, the DVD doesn't respond anymore, even after a reboot. I had to switch off the computer in order to make it work again.

I hope this can help solving the problem.
