From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: While installing an old CD (Myth II: Soulblighter) the kernel claims: Feb 13 14:25:31 home01 kernel: hdd: rw=0, want=1287172, limit=1252752 Feb 13 14:25:31 home01 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 321792 Feb 13 14:25:31 home01 kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Which breaks the installation of the game. The kernel appears to assume a CD size of 1252752 blocks, while on the other hand: -sh-3.00# cat /proc/ide/hdd/model /proc/ide/hdd/capacity HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B 1302360 -sh-3.00# The same kernel assumes a size of 1302360 blocks. Years ago (2.4 kernel?) the CD installed w/o any problem, and even nowadays Windows is willing to read the whole CD. I think the CD itself is not the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load the Myth II CD 2. Do a setup 3. Notice these "attempt to access beyond end of device" messages Additional info:
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem.
