Ubuntu detects a bogus CD-ROM device

What version of the kernel are you running? You can find out via 'uname -a' in a terminal. What release of Ubuntu are you using? You can find out via 'cat /etc/lsb-release' in a terminal. I am under the impression that your CD-ROM drive is accessible via /dev/hdc is that correct?

We are closing this bug report as it lacks the information, described in the previous comments, we need to investigate the problem further. However, please reopen it if you can give us the missing information and don't hesitate to submit bug reports in the future.

I'm sorry not to reply in time.
I'm running the Breezy release of Ubuntu with the kernel of 2.6.12-10-386.
Your impression is right. I can mount the CDROM via /dev/hdc smoothly. But the bogus device /dev/hdd doesn't work at all.
I found this bug the first time I boot the system after substituting my CDROM. When the boot message reads "Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer", the system halts and begins to read the floopy with no stop. So as to boot successfully I stop the HAL daemon manually.
I think all these problems are related to my new CDROM. Because the old one works smoothly and have no errors.

I had asked for help on the Ubuntu Forum, but no one replied. I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for getting back to us. Could you please post the output of 'ls /dev/hd*' and the full output of 'dmesg' to your bug report as an attachment? Thanks in advance.

Here's the "ls" output:
/dev/hda /dev/hda2 /dev/hda6 /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdb5 /dev/hdd
/dev/hda1 /dev/hda5 /dev/hdb /dev/hdb2 /dev/hdc

And the "dmesg" output is in the attachment.
Thanks.

We are closing this bug report as it concerns Breezy which is no longer supported. However, please reopen it if it is still an issue with a supported version of Ubuntu and feel free to submit bug reports in the future.
