However hwinfo reports: : device configured, available HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8161B (new dirve) no, yes LG CD-RW CED-8080B no. yes LG CD-RW CED-8080B yes, yes SAMSUNG CD-ROM SC-152C (the old drive) yes, yes Somehow the hardware list is correct: also note the double listing of the 8080BCD-RW drive. Looks like drives are added but not removed and also new devices aren't getting configured. All very strange! Any experts know whats going wrong here?
