I am running ubuntu 8.04 on a Targa Visionary XP-210... which also has a Ricoh RW8160 and suffers from similar issues as the ones being reported here.

The way I managed to partially overcame these issues was:

* installed ubuntu from a minimal CD: this way, It didn't freeze during the install because it fetches all program from the web and not the install CD.
- (i don't remember if I also used "noapic" as a boot option in the install CD)
* use boot options hdc=noprobe hdc=cdrom noapic in /boot/grub/menu.lst under kernel options

I can use the computer with ubuntu 8.04 and also the CD drive. HOWEVER, the CD drive is STILL not fully operational since if I try to copy big quantities of data it freezes. Besides that, I can hear music.

Hope this helps

Try the config I placed at the link below.
I'm running OpenSUSE 11.1. With that config the DVD and Sound works fine applied to Kernel 2.6.29.1

I found a link to a iso that works, it's Ubuntu 9.04, it french but you can change after installation.
To bad if don't speak any french, maybe someone can try to translate it to english so we can use their knowledge to make our own
with newer kernel or maybe try a 64 bit version.

Hello!

There's a linux-distribution called Dreamlinux 3.5, in which amilo xa2528-27p's CD/DVD-drive works from the start.
Can anyone find out what s the difference in Dreamlinux and Ubuntu 10.04 considering the CD/DVD-drive?
WLAN and sound work in Dreamlinux too.
