jlc Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=100348 Just thought I would post this for all the people complaing about Mandrake and LG Cdrom's. I know it's been said over & over, BUT Mandrake isn't the only one, along with the WINDOWS and other Linux distro's. It's not Linux or winblows for that matter, it's LG & LG only. So if people are still comlaining about MDK, stop and complain to LG. I realize there is a fix now, but a lot of people seem to be still throwning there arms in a craze over MDK. Thought I would post that, sounded fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlc Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 I will look, I read the Windows on another Link, don't believe it was a forum, could be wrong though. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linux_learner Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 thanks for lookin'. i havent found anything about windows destroying LG cd roms. http://www.lge.com/about/news/news_list.js...2&searchstring= and http://news.google.com/news?q=LG+cd+rom&hl...ion=us&filter=0 neither site mentions any problem with windows. rather LG says "According to LG Electronics, their ODD (Optical Disc Drive) products do not support Linux nor do they test with Linux. Unfortunately, many Dell computers (possibly others) come with these CD-ROM drives," the solution is to get the kernel 2.4.22-21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted October 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Like I said, I could be wrong, I did find some windows forums that said the LG came in some Dell & hp/comaq box's and they need newer drivers cause the LG drive wouldn't work at all, but it didn't smoke it.

roland Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 "According to LG Electronics, their ODD (Optical Disc Drive) products do not support Linux nor do they test with Linux..." In this case, it's more correct to say it' linux that doe not support LG. Too bad for them. And as Linux generaly scrupulously respect the standards, its seems LG don't. Too bad.. roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
