There is a firmware issue with some of the LG CD drives.

 

The affected LG drives are not entirely ATAPI compliant.

 

Please be sure to either update your firmware or to confirm

the LG drive you have is not one of the problematic drives

before you load Linux.

 

Read these threads:

1. Mandrake forum

2. Mandrake Linux notice

 

I would expect the problematic drives would end up non-functional

with any distro if they have not had their firmware updated.
