Hello everyone,
I am working on getting an x60 to duplicate the cdrom issue this week.  However, I was wondering if there was anything we could do about these AE_NOT_FOUND messages.  A lot of people believe that they are errors, but in fact they are normal for hotplugging.  Would it be ok if I just get rid of that error message?  It generates unneccessary consternation.
