I just got a brand new system with a Pineer DVR-A06U DVD/CD writer. I
am trying to install Linux from a CD, but Linux install won't identify
the DVD drive. It prompts me to select one of the drivers and the ones
that I have selected didn't work.
Pioneer doesn't seem to have Linux drivers for the kind of DVD-RW I
got. What can I do at this point besides replacing the drive?
Thanks.
