Description of problem: I have installed FC6 on a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 motherboard with a Core 2 Duo E6600 CPU. This board is based on the Intel P965 chipset. I have a DVD burner attached to the PATA IDE connector on the board. The drive seems to function fine, but after the system has been operating for an hour or so the following starts appearing in the system log: Jan 7 21:11:10 hotblue kernel: hdf: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01). Trying to recover by ending request. Jan 7 21:18:44 hotblue kernel: hdf: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01). Trying to recover by ending request. Jan 7 21:29:05 hotblue kernel: hdf: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01). Trying to recover by ending request. The dvd drive was not in use when these messages began to appear. Rebooting makes them stop for a while, but then they start up again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 How reproducible: always, after a delay
I am seeing a new failure mode: Jan 7 21:44:55 hotblue kernel: hdf: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01). Trying to recover by ending request.

This is more serious, as it leaves the drive with dma disabled.
I am having the same problem. I am have to wait a couple of hours before the problems start. The motherboard is also GA-965P-S3. It logs Jan 27 00:34:36 nyblad kernel: hde: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01). Trying to recover by ending request.

The cd-rom identifies it self to the BIOS as LITE-ON DVDRW LH-18A1P GL03 I also have an old Seagate 80G harddisk on the same PATA bus. The harddisk is slave and the cdrom is master. The harddisk identifies it self as: ST380021A 3.19 I will try removing the harddisk.
I have now tried running without the hard disk. It did not help. Then I substituted an old CD-RW also from LITE-ON for the DVD drive. It failed in the same manner. Finally I have been running without DVD or CD drive. Instead I have two hard disk drives, both old Seagate 80G drives that identifies themselfes as ST380021A 3.19. There are no problems when running with those two hard disks. Finally, Windows seems to been working without any problems, no matter which configuration I use. It seems like there is some hardware problem such that cheap CD and DVD drives do not work properly together with that motherboard. However, Windows seems to be capable of getting around the problem without getting into a state where errors are logged every few seconds.
Does your motherboard have a jmicron ide controller? I am having this same issue and it is also being discussed on the mythtv mailing list where they are indicating it is a jmicron/kernel issue.
Yes, this board has jmicron.
These boards do use the JMicron ide controller. I have a slightly different board, the GA-965P-DS3, but the only difference I can find between the two boards is that mine uses solid capacitors. As you can clearly see from my logs in /var/log/messages, there doesn't seem to be any correlation between the time intervals at which these errors occur.

Same here with Asus P5B Deluxe (965 chipset) and DVD-RW attatched to JMicron controller, kernel-PAE-2.6.20-1.2952.fc6. No disk in the drive.

(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, since no information has been lodged for over 30 days. Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data, and thanks for filing the original report!
