I have the same problem, it's been present since the first Hardy alpha all the way through to 8.04 LTS. Drive worked normally under Gutsy.
The only drive on my single IDE channel is a BenQ EW-164B (same as DW-1640), the drive is visible in /dev/disk/by-id as ata-BENQ_DVD_DD_EW164B_J95B1U053C25049780PS
All SATA drives work normally. I've tried with the SATA controller in native-IDE, SATA-AHCI and RAID mode.
fstab gives an entry for scd0:
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
However, there's no device called scd0 in /dev
I replaced the scd0 entry with this:
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
with no good results.
In /dev I can see that hda does exist.
I'm getting random crashes, along with the messages about hda: drive not ready for command.
The fix suggested at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182996 will allow my DVD to eject and nothing further. No mounting of an inserted disc, nothing visible in Brasero.
dmesg gives identical output to this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182996
If anybody can help please send an email and I'll send any logs you need.
