Bug Description

DVD drive is recognized only as a SCSI device, no type/vendor information etc. It used to work in earlier Edgy (maybe a month ago, I was on vacation). See hal devices' information in hwdb.

hwdb id: a9d0012eefa11bdd7890e74c18374ab2
hal version: 0.5.7.1-0ubuntu5

Also note, I have all packages up-to-date (edgy). Maybe I said it wrong last time but even the information about DVD drive (looking at it in hal-device-manager) are less verbose and specific than it used to be a month ago.

All the read errors are not related to this bug, I tried to copy some files from a scratched DVD.

Also note it is possible to mount CD/DVD manually (from terminal or via 'Computer' and 'CD-ROM 1' - mount). The name of DVD drive used to be more specific in 'Computer' as well ;-)

One more thing that came to my mind. It is possible this automount and correct recognition has stopped working after using DVD-RW drive in drive dock (Dell Latitude D610) for two days instead of my own DVD-ROM drive.

Fixed here as well, I can verify it really is a duplicate ;-)
