[Bug 262340] New: Kernel update interferes with CD/DVD burning, DMA
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=262340 Summary: Kernel update interferes with CD/DVD burning, DMA Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: kq8z67r6309fo9001@sneakemail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Hopefully this isn't a duplicate of one of the many other CD/DVD burning bugs-appears not.... After the update from 2.6.18.2-34 to 2.6.18.8-0.1, CD and DVD burning don't work terribly well. The former will usually fail, and the latter just slows to about 1-2x speed. The cause appears to be that something is happening to disable DMA on the drive; from /var/log/messages: Apr 6 03:29:48 hostname kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Apr 6 03:29:48 hostname kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Apr 6 03:29:48 hostname kernel: hdc: DMA disabled Apr 6 03:29:48 hostname kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete For DVDs, one can actually re-enable DMA with hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc, even whilst burning, but the chances of it staying on for the duration are poor. The point of initial (and subsequent, if re-enabled) loss of DMA appears to be random. DVDs burned in this manner appear to be readable, though as noted above CD burning fails completely. I tried reseating data cables, replacing data cables, switching IDE controllers, etc. with no effect. These efforts were probably superfluous as the problem did not and does not occur with kernel 2.6.18.2-34; otherwise I would assume from past experience that this is a hardware problem. It is not presently convenient to test with another drive, unfortunately. Motherboard is an Abit NF7-S (nforce2 chipset), DVD burner is an NEC ND-3550A. CDs burned with k3b and directly with cdrecord ("wodim" now, I guess). DVDs burned with k3b and directly with growisofs. There are some similar experiences reported, e.g.: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=101712 though in that case the problem appeared to be more severe. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=262340 ------- Comment #3 from teheo@novell.com 2007-04-15 02:06 MST ------- Yeap, I wanted both. Sorry about not being clear. This is weird. As far as core IDE layer and amd74xx are concerned, the only difference between the two versions is ->ide_dma_clear_irq() support added to the core layer which isn't activated when amd74xx is used, so your IDE controller is driven by effectively identical code in either version. As NF IDE still has some problem with cable detection, that was my first suspect but your boot messages indicate otherwise. IRQ delivery isn't the problem here either - the device is still in Busy state, suggesting data transfer problem. When testing 18.2 and 18.8, was everything except for the kernel identical? If not, can you test dry runs on the same media from the same media file with only kernel changed? Also, please post full dmesg including error messages. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

It's the same code. But, it's also highly unlikely that changes in other part of the kernel can cause timeouts where BSY is still set. :-( So, I'm as lost as you are.

So I installed kernel-default-2.6.22.5-20070921172731, which required me to upgrade apparmor to 2.0.2 which I got from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:apparmor/openSUSE_10.2. When I tried to boot that kernel I got some error like: Couldn't parse number and got bounced back to the (now non-graphical) grub menu. When I booted my old kernel (2.6.18.8-0.5) apparmor choked on a mess of stuff, but I seem to be running okay. I would really like to give you the information you need to fix this problem, but also REALLY want to avoid putting 10.3 on this machine (since I have a relatively working 10.2 installation). If you could help me get a 2.6.22 kernel running on this system I would be very grateful. Maybe it was a bad KOTD?

(The issue was the rpm put "root (/dev/sdb1,0)" instead of "root (hd0,0)" when I installed the new kernel.) Unfortunately, the DVD problem is WORSE with 2.6.22.5-31 in that the whole machine is locked up. Before it just hiccuped every time the ATAPI reset happened. Now it is a total lock up after a few minutes of quickly degrading operation. The logs reveal some differences.

Whereas with 2.6.22.5-31: Oct 4 16:28:47 krange kernel: hdc: DMA timeout retry Oct 4 16:28:47 krange kernel: hdc: timeout waiting for DMA Oct 4 16:28:47 krange kernel: hdd: status timeout: status=0xd8 { Busy } Oct 4 16:28:47 krange kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Oct 4 16:28:47 krange kernel: hdd: drive not ready for command Oct 4 16:28:47 krange kernel: hdc: status timeout: status=0xd8 { Busy } Oct 4 16:28:47 krange kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Oct 4 16:28:47 krange kernel: hdc: drive not ready for command Oct 4 16:28:52 krange kernel: hdc: status timeout: status=0xd8 { Busy } Oct 4 16:28:52 krange kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Oct 4 16:28:52 krange kernel: hdc: drive not ready for command Once again, the last three lines repeat until a reboot.
