From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: I am running FC4 on a Dell Inspiron 8100 with a SAMSUNG CD-ROM SN-124 CD Drive cannot be mounted. Loading an Audio CD causes a system crash. I had already observed this problem in some kernel releases of FC3. After loading a data CD-ROM the following messages are generated: Jul 11 00:53:57 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Jul 11 00:53:57 ggv-win32 kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Jul 11 00:53:57 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: drive not ready for command Jul 11 00:53:58 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: status error: status=0x7f { DriveReady DeviceFault SeekComplete DataRequest CorrectedError Index Error } Jul 11 00:53:58 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: status error: error=0x7f { IllegalLengthIndication EndOfMedia AbortedCommand MediaChangeRequested LastFailedSense=0x07 } Jul 11 00:53:58 ggv-win32 kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Jul 11 00:53:58 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: DMA disabled Jul 11 00:53:58 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: drive not ready for command Jul 11 00:53:58 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: ATAPI reset complete Jul 11 00:53:58 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: status error: status=0x7f { DriveReady DeviceFault SeekComplete DataRequest CorrectedError Index Error } Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.12-1.1390_FC4 and kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system 2. Load CD-ROM 3. Examine /var/log/messages Actual Results: CD-ROM was not automatically mounted. If I try to open it manually with mount /dev/hdb /media/cdrom -t iso9660 The resualt is the following:mount: block device /dev/hdb is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, missing codepage or other error (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so Additional info:
That really looks like a bad CDROM. Do you have any different CDROMs to test with?
It started working again after a few days. You could be right. It had happened before (with FC3 kernels) and I associated the event with kernel updades. The reasons I am not just saying "never mind" are: 1. Even during the downtime under FC, it still worked under Windows XP. 2. Loading an audio CD would freeze the system. During the boot process, there is still a funny message: Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: ide-cd: cmd 0x28 timed out Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: DMA interrupt recovery Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: lost interrupt Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: drive not ready for command Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: DMA disabled Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: drive not ready for command Jul 11 12:57:29 ggv-win32 kernel: hdb: ATAPI reset complete
