I have tried the Kubuntu Intrepid Alpha-5 live CD on my Hardy system and
booted into it, running the 2.6.27 kernel.

I am sorry to say that none of the following is recognized either by
Dolphin or by k3b when inserted into the PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110 drive:

(a) recorded CD-R

(b) blank CD-R

(c) audio CD.

It is not merely blank media but also recorded media.

(The new KDE 4.1 desktop does not seem to display inserted media but
that is entirely another issue altogether!)

This bug is threatening to result in serious loss of function if it
continues to persist into Intrepid Ibex.

I could not compile the 2.6.27 kernel using prevu because of failed
dependencies, and cannot comment on the performance of the 2.6.27 kernel
within Hardy.

I am happy to furnish further data if told what to acquire: I really
want to see this bug squashed.

Thanks.
