Description Gopikrishnan Sidhardhan 2005-07-18 12:33:19 UTC
Description of problem:
The machine freezes when I yank out the hot-swappable CD drive on my laptop, in
multi-user mode.  In single-user mode, it is in a usable state.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Occurs with every kernel I tried since FC3.

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install Fedora Core 4 on a Dell D800
2.  Yank out the hot-swappable CD drive.
3.
  
Actual results:
The machine freezes.  The following messages are printed continously on the console:
Jul 18 17:08:27 polecat kernel: hdc: DMA disabled

Expected results:
The machine is in a usable state.

Additional info:
I did a SysRq-t, and got the contents of the attached file in the log.  If I
don't do this, there are absolutely no messages in the log (the messages you see
in 'Actual Results' are printed only on the console and are *not* in the logfile
if I don't do a SysRq-t.

Comment 3 Alan Cox 2005-08-26 13:54:37 UTC
Linux 2.6 IDE does not support drive hotswap. The 2.6 maintainer seems to have
no plan to ever implement it and in fact has removed the framework of code
designed for adding it.
