http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13399 --- Comment #44 from Stan Senuta Jr. <ssenuta@xxxxxxxxx> 2009-06-23 04:07:35 --- I am pleased to report that your kernel-2.6.30 patch (0001-ide-cd-prevent-null-pointer-deref-via-cdrom_newpc_in.patch) fixed the crash problem when accessing my /dev/hdd dvd-rom drive. I was able to mount a dvd-rw disc & here is the proof: [root@localhost stan]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/misc mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only [root@localhost stan]# df -T Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 ext4 60G 4.3G 52G 8% / /dev/sda1 ext3 54M 16M 36M 31% /boot /dev/sda6 ext4 60G 3.1G 53G 6% /usr /dev/hdd iso9660 400K 400K 0 100% /mnt/misc [root@localhost stan]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cddrive [root@localhost stan]# df -T Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 ext4 60G 4.3G 52G 8% / /dev/sda1 ext3 54M 16M 36M 31% /boot /dev/sda6 ext4 60G 3.1G 53G 6% /usr /dev/hdd iso9660 400K 400K 0 100% /mnt/misc /dev/hdc iso9660 350K 350K 0 100% /mnt/cddrive I edited the kernel-2.6.30 "ide-cd.c" file as instructed to apply the patch & then ran the following commands to re-compile my kernel: make mrproper cp .config-save .config make oldconfig make make modules_install My "new" /lib/modules/2.6.30/drivers/ide/ide-cd_mod.ko showed file size = 35133 bytes. The "orig" /lib/modules/2.6.30/drivers/ide/ide-cd_mod.ko showed file size = 35125 bytes. I also inserted a commercial video movie disc & a cd-rw disc in problem drive /dev/hdd. Everything seems too work fine.
