http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10216 Summary: kernel from different versions hangs with some CD/DVD drives Product: IO/Storage Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: all tried (2.4.* and 2.6.*) Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: IDE AssignedTo: io_ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: lars.winterfeld@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Latest working kernel version: unknown Earliest failing kernel version: 2.4 Distribution: all tried Hardware Environment: notebook "Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xa-2528", output from `lspci -vvv` attached Software Environment: n/a Problem Description: I want to report a problem with certain CD/DVD drives / controllers, which is kernel-related as far as I can see. I came to face the problem on my new notebook (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xa-2528). Although I tried the installation CDs of different distributions (Gentoo, Ubuntu, DSL,...) with different kernel-versions including some of the 2.4 and 2.6 series all failed to boot. Here is part of the log: Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) Freeing unused kernel memory: 376k freed Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) ide-cd: cmd 0x5a timed out Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) ide: failed opcode was: unknown Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) hda: ATAPI CD-ROM drive, 0kB Cache Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) ide: failed opcode was: unknown Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) hda: drive not ready for command Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) ide: failed opcode was: unknown Mar 7 20:51:59 (none) hda: drive not ready for command Last error messages are repetitiously outputted until the computer freezes / hangs. By googleing the error-message I found that it is not a problem of my computer alone. ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=699244 , https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/182996 , http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-666680.html?sid=36e4b5379601abe70a5f2fc5420e1765 , ...) As far as I can tell, the problem appears as soon as the CD/DVD drive is accessed, which is of cause done by almost any linux installation or "live" CD. So I tried a Gentoo-based boot-cd called "unattended gui" which does not mount the cd filesystem (btw: kernel config http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=Bootcd:kernel ) Once booted, I ran lspci telling me: 00:0d.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 IDE (rev f1) 00:0e.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev f1) The drive inside my notebook is recognized as "hda: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7540A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive", but google tells me the problem (or similar) also appears on "PHILIPS DVDR1660P1", "BENQ DVD DD DW1620", "LILITE-ON DVD SOHD-16P6P9S", "RICOH CD-R/RW MP7040A" and other. The pre-installed Windows Vista can read and write DVDs. Some log (from the "unattended"...): http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/lspci-vvv http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/messages http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/dmesg produced on this system: http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/cpuinfo http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/iomem http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/ioports http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/modules http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/scsi http://www.winterfeld.de/Lars/amalio/uname-a Since I also program in C, I took a look at some ide*.c files where I found the error message, but I have no clue about how the kernel works. So, I would be really grateful for any suggestions and if more information is needed, then please just ask.
