Description Bryce Nesbitt 2002-04-13 14:08:43 UTC 
This cdrom drive has defective DMA, leading to kernel panics.

I solve this with an /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhda file, and the
patch from Bug #63413.  The command line for a fix is:


hdparm -d0 -u0 -c0 /dev/hda
hdparm -i /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

 Model=SONY CD-RW CRX140E, FwRev=1.0n, SerialNo=
 Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
 RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:180,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2002-04-15 12:41:39 UTC 
The plan is to disable dma for cdroms by default; due to the shere amount of
cdrom drives that get it wrong, combined with the effect ("hang")
Comment 2 Bryce Nesbitt 2002-04-24 01:30:45 UTC 
Good move.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
