DVD-ROM Drive Pops Out

Post by bc-os »

I still use a older-style tower as my main PC: mid-sized, a couple DVD burners, I even have a USB hub where the old 3.5" floppy drive used to be.
Not a huge deal, but, I think it was two kernel updates ago (not the most recent one), where, now when I boot up, one of the two DVD drives pops its door out and closes again. It only seems to happen on a boot from power-off, not a reboot.

Many threads referencing this issue; shall spam this whenever one pops up I guess: kernel 4.15.0-159-generic, 5.4.0-87-generic, 5.11.0-37-generic, 5.13.0-16-generic are going to fix this and will be available from Update Manager shortly.
