Linux-2.6.0
by Richard A Downing FBCS 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

I was about to update my kernel to the new stable 2.6.0, but notice Jens has added some changes since test11. Is there any reason to suppost the test11 patch wouldn't work? I guess this is just a way of saying 'Can we have a 2.6.0 patch please Peter?' -- Richard A Downing FBCS http://www.freewebs.com/109bean/ Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.

lots of syslog error messages when writing to UDF DVDs
by Doug Holland 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

I'm running on an 650MHz Athlon, and the CD-RW drive in question is a generically rebranded Lite-On Combo LTC-48161H (16x DVD/48x read/48x CD-R/24x CD-RW combo drive.) I just compiled kernel 2.6.0, with the packet-writing patch (packet-2.6.1-rc1-2.patch.bz2) on a Debian unstable system. I followed the instructions in the hint file (http://cvs.linuxfromscratch.org/index.cgi/hints/Attic/cdrw-hint.txt?rev=1.3) to get it working, and it's working to an extent. The problem is that when I copy medium-large sized files (a few megabytes, such as an mp3,) the drive just keeps running & running, with the LED lit in amber (meaning it's writing). Running sync to get the drive to finish the job doesn't seem to do anything, and if I umount and remount the CD-RW, some of the files I tried to copy to it are missing. When I run dmesg, I get thousands of these error messages. ide-cd: write_intr decode_status bad hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 5736 ide-cd: write_intr decode_status bad hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 5744 ide-cd: write_intr decode_status bad hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: command error: error=0x54 as well as UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:1005:udf_load_partdesc: Partition (0:0 type 1522) starts at physical 1408, block length 273920 UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:1338:udf_load_partition: Using anchor in block 256 UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:1571:udf_fill_super: Lastblock=0 UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:847:udf_find_fileset: Fileset at block=32, partition=0 UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:909:udf_load_fileset: Rootdir at block=64, partition=0 UDF-fs INFO UDF 0.9.7 (2002/11/15) Mounting volume 'LinuxUDF', timestamp 2004/01/13 02:33 (1e5c) UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/misc.c:286:udf_read_tagged: location mismatch block 4751, tag 0 != 3343 udf: udf_read_inode(ino 4751) failed !bh UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/misc.c:286:udf_read_tagged: location mismatch block 4751, tag 0 != 3343 udf: udf_read_inode(ino 4751) failed !bh UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/misc.c:286:udf_read_tagged: location mismatch block 4751, tag 0 != 3343 and Buffer I/O error on device pktcdvd0, logical block 31194 lost page write due to I/O error on pktcdvd0 Buffer I/O error on device pktcdvd0, logical block 31195 lost page write due to I/O error on pktcdvd0 Buffer I/O error on device pktcdvd0, logical block 31196 lost page write due to I/O error on pktcdvd0 Buffer I/O error on device pktcdvd0, logical block 31197 lost page write due to I/O error on pktcdvd0 Buffer I/O error on device pktcdvd0, logical block 31198 lost page write due to I/O error on pktcdvd0 Does anybody here have any ideas on how to get rid of these errors?

Linux-2.6.3
by Richard A Downing FBCS 19 Feb '04

19 Feb '04

The current patch-2.6.2-rc1 doesn't apply cleanly to the new Linux-2.6.3 - which is an important release since it fixed a security bug. I attempted to apply by hand the failing chunk, but the result didn't function properly. -- Richard A Downing FBCS http://www.109bean.org.uk/ Anyone sending unwanted advertising e-mail to this address will be charged $25 for network traffic and computing time.

Redirecting to the list because I'm also interested. I'm pretty sure you only have to compile, run it (without any arguments it should display a list of options), and then mount rw. The hardware / firmware does the rest. And no, I don't think you can choose any fs, as Mount Rainier is UDF in firmware. I also don't think you can choose the UDF version as in udftools. Correct me I'm wrong. If I'm not, how do we know the UDF version being used ? Or it doesn' matter ? Also, does it need the UDF module loaded ? Well, time to buy me new writer and test.

cdmrw with 2.6.2
by Eduardo J. Ortega 08 Feb '04

08 Feb '04

hey so i managed to compile 2.6.2 and cdmrw.c then i formatted my cd media with cdmrw -f full -d /dev/hdd -F -p it took a while (warning about progress: no progress indicator), and ended with format complete. then i tried mount /dev/hdd /cdrw -t udf -o rw and it tried to access the device for about 1 minute or so, after which it ended up saying it could not mount because of wrong fs type, too many mounted filesystems, wrong fs type or wrong option. so it seems i'm stucked with it. i'll try to access the formatted cd from windows and i'll try getting a firmware update. just for the record, this is what i get from dmesg : request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- sound-slot-1. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-61-0. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- net-pf-4. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-81-0. error = 256 cdrom: hdd: mrw address space DMA selected cdrom open: mrw_status 'mrw complete' FAT: invalid media value (0xaa) VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hdd. cdrom: hdd: mrw address space DMA selected cdrom open: mrw_status 'mrw complete' FAT: invalid media value (0xaa) VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hdd. cdrom: hdd: mrw address space DMA selected cdrom open: mrw_status 'mrw complete' UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/lowlevel.c:57:udf_get_last_session: XA disk: no, vol_desc_start=1560 UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:1544:udf_fill_super: Multi-session=0 UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:532:udf_vrs: Starting at sector 16 (2048 byte sectors) request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 attempt to access beyond end of device hdd: rw=0, want=1107204, limit=1107200 UDF-fs: No VRS found request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- block-major-11-0. error = 256 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 cdrom: hdd: mrw address space DMA selected cdrom open: mrw_status 'mrw complete' cdrom: hdd: mrw address space DMA selected cdrom open: mrw_status 'mrw complete' hdd: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 1107192 Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 138399 end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 400 Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 50 lost page write due to I/O error on hdd hdd: tray open end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 1107192 Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 138399 request_module: failed /sbin/modprobe -- char-major-10-134. error = 256 end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 656 Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 82 lost page write due to I/O error on hdd if anyone knows about anything that could help, plese let me know. thanks -- Eduardo J.
