Description James 2008-06-05 19:36:05 UTC
Description of problem:
The kernel is disabling DMA for the DVD drive on my HP zx5030EA (ATI IXP-based)
notebook, making transfers very slow. I've never seen this problem in previous
releases of Fedora.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.25.4-29.fc9.i686

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot.

Actual results:
The following is seen in dmesg:

ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0x8060 irq 14
ata2: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0x8068 irq 15
ata1.00: ATA-6: IC25N060ATMR04-0, MO3OAD0A, max UDMA/100
ata1.00: 117210240 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100
ata2.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD DRIVE GCC-4241N, 0C29, max MWDMA2
ata2.00: simplex DMA is claimed by other device, disabling DMA
ata2.00: configured for PIO4

Very slow DVD drive.

Expected results:
Multi-word DMA available for the DVD drive.

Comment 2 Alan Cox 2008-06-05 20:48:41 UTC
Fixed upstream already.


Comment 3 James 2008-06-05 21:23:04 UTC
Any idea when the fix will filter its way down into F9/what should I look out
for on Koji?

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2008-06-05 21:27:25 UTC
alan, do you have the git hash or a pointer to the patch? we can throw this into
f9 as an update until .26 lands.

Comment 5 Chuck Ebbert 2008-06-06 00:28:55 UTC
Fixed in 2.6.25.4-44

Comment 6 Alan Cox 2008-06-06 09:11:49 UTC
(The real fix is mostly not to load pata_acpi in the wrong order)


Comment 7 Chuck Ebbert 2008-06-06 09:40:51 UTC

Comment 8 Solomon Peachy 2008-06-07 12:40:41 UTC
Glad to hear a fix is in and will filter down the intertubes soon-ish. 
Meanwhile, Blacklisting pata_acpi seems to have done the trick for my laptop.

Comment 9 James 2008-06-07 17:38:25 UTC
Confirmed fixed in kernel-2.6.25.5-49.fc9, closing.
