Description Pierre Francois 2006-11-12 15:37:07 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot with kernel 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 or 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5
2. run "modprobe ide_cd" as root
  
Actual results:
FATAL: Error inserting ide_cd
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2239.fc5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-cd.ko): Unknown symbol in
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Expected results:
Loading the module and ability to access /dev/hdc

Additional info:
# dmesg | grep ^ide
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
ide_cd: Unknown parameter `dma'
ide_cd: Unknown parameter `dma'

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2006-11-12 21:56:53 UTC
looks like your /etc/modprobe.conf has a dma parameter in there.
The module doesn't have that option, so it complains.


Comment 2 Pierre Francois 2006-11-13 09:48:34 UTC
It hasn't, but I have a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with such a line. 

options ide-cd dma=1

It was advised on http://freshrpms.net/docs/dvd/ for making ogle and mplayer
play more smoothly, but this idea is obviously outdated now. I will tell them.

The most amazing thing is that I didn't touch my /etc/modprobe.conf file in the
last five monthes, and that the module stopped working only the last weeks.
Probably some change happened in the kernel I didn't notice. I also thought
about that, but since I was "grepping" for ide_cd instead of ide-cd, I didn't
match the line...

Anyway, thanks a lot, Dave.
