Hi, I'd like to report a possible bug in the sata_via module. I - and at least one other user [1] - am not able to use a cd writer attached to the VIA 6421 chip on Linux. The current setup works perfectly on windows, so I think it's not a hardware problem. Until Kernel 2.6.21 I wasn't even able to use the PATA Port of the mentioned controller. Now this works, but it would be great if one was also able to use this controller to burn cds. The Problem seems to affect cd writers attached to this chip, sata as well as pata [2]. Some details of my system: Debian etch, running the 2.6.21 Kernel. The CD-Writer is a NEC ND-3500AG attachted to the PATA Port of the VIA 6421 Chip on an Abit AX8 V2.0 Motherboard. lspci -vvv is at [3] dmesg at [4] the wodim output when trying to blank a cd [5] kernel .config at [6] [1] - http://www.mail-archive.com/cdwrite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg10988.html [2] - http://www.mail-archive.com/cdwrite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg11017.html [3] - http://blog.gauner.org/dl/lspci.txt [4] - http://blog.gauner.org/dl/dmesg.txt [5] - http://blog.gauner.org/dl/wodim.txt [6] - http://blog.gauner.org/dl/config-2.6.21tex - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
