https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=271545 Summary: ide dvdrw on same channel as ide tape locks system when trying to burn Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: weber.paonia@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de If you have an ide DVDRW or CDRW drive on the same channel as an ide tape drive the burner will not work. Attempts to burn will lock up the system necessitating a hard reset. I believe this is in the kernel as I tracked cdrecord verbose messages to that point. The salient characteristic is the following. When the ide tape (slave) is plugged into the channel, the dvdrw drive (master) is identified as /dev/sr0. When the ide tape is unplugged the dvdrw drive is identified as /dev/hdc. When the dvdrw drive is identified as /dev/hdc it works fine. When it is /dev/sr0 it reads Ok but fails during writes. Also there are no dev symlinks for cdrecorder, cdrom, dvd, dvdram when it is /dev/sr0 but they appear when it is /dev/hdc. Significantly, this problem only happened after I installed opensuse 10.2 The same hardware configuration worked fine under opensuse 10.1 The problem persisted first as an upgrade install and then later as a clean install. The fix was to install a PCI ide card and run the tape drive on its own channel. I also tested burning with both cdrecord and widom in case it was in that layer but both fail when using /dev/sr0. -- 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.
