Description of problem: There is a kernel bug up to kernel 2.6.18 (still) where the ALI5229 controllers of different revisions are setup incorrectly. I found the change to make to fix it at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5786. Patch attached. I am in the process of recompiling the most current kernel with this patch to see if it fixes it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 5 on machine with 00:1f.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c8) 2. attempt to burn CD (not dvd for some reason, growisofs seems to work) 3. Actual results: IDE Bus is hung hda: Lost interrupt Expected results: successfully able to burn cd Additional info:
Created attachment 137720 [details] patch against kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 that fixes the problem
Just a confirmation, that after adding the previously attached patch to the .spec for 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5, rebuilding, rebooting. Fixes the issue. Also, the bug is fixed in 2.6.18.
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem.
