I hooked up the DVD drive to a USB-SATA adapter to a PC and the DVD 
drive works great (under both windows and linux). I was able to copy a 
large number of files with no performance issues.
The PC that I did the second test on turns out to have a nVidia MCP51 
chipset (It's a gateway GT4016 with a KTBC51G-LF motherboard). I should 
have checked this beforehand.

So this problem looks to persist across different nVidia chipsets.

Title:
  System fails to connect to iHOS-104 DVD drive with nvidia MCP61
  chipset.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The computer fails to connect to the LG iHOS-104 DVD drive.
  The drive is working, as it will boot the Windows installer.

  I have seen similar bugs posted on the internet for the past 5 years.
  Here's a thread that shows the problem fixed for the MCP55 chipset.

  http://www.gossamer-
  threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1234502?do=post_view_threaded#1234502

  I think that this is similar in nature.

  Please let me know any further information that can be supplied. I'm
  sorry if I've missed any of the standard stuff.
