--- Comment #40 from Albert Lee
From the boot log, the first INQUIRY was executed in PIO mode and successful. However, the second 96-bytes INQUIRY was executed in ATAPI DMA mode and failed. Looks like yet another piece of "designed for microsoft windows (tm) but not standard" hardware. Also, it seems Tejun's limit ATAPI DMA to multiple of 16-bytes doesn't catch them all. :(
I'm wondering whether the problem is in the ALi M5229 controller or the QSI SBW-241 drive? There is a previous report about M5229 ATAPI DMA problem by Andrey Borzenkov (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116500554505311&w=2). Maybe we can test the ALi M5229 controller with another known-to-be-good CD-ROM drive to see if this is the problem of M5229 or not. However, both your and Andrey are notebook computer and the CD-ROM drive is difficult to replace... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
