Bug 129506 – Running Hald causes cdrom kernel errors with TS-L532M CD/DVD-ROM drive

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bryan O'Shea 2006-04-10 11:25:49 UTC]

I have a compaq presario v2000 laptop with a TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L532M, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive.  When I run hald it causes many kernel errors to show up in my logs when I have no medium inserted into the drive.  

ATAPI device hdc:
  Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
  Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
  The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was:
  "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
ATAPI device hdc:
  Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
  Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
  The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was:
  "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
ATAPI device hdc:
  Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
  Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
  The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was:
  "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
ATAPI device hdc:

Hald is polling the drive with out checking the status first.

The fix is to add this section to 
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-storage-policy.fdi

  <device>
    <match key="storage.bus" string="ide">
     <match key="storage.model" string="TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-L532M">
       <match key="block.device" string="/dev/hdc">
         <merge key="storage.media_check_enabled" type="bool">false</merge>
       </match>
     </match>
    </match>
  </device>

Although this is entered I still get a few errors in the kernel when hald is starting at least its not continuously logging as before. I am using kernels 2.6.15.1 and 2.6.16.2 to reproduce these errors.

Don't know if this is a Hal bug or kernel bug as I get a single instance of the error in my kernel startup?

Do you still get this with the latest kernel?

[Comment 2 Bryan O'Shea 2006-05-26 11:02:47 UTC]

I just emerged latest vanilla-sources 2.6.16.16 and recieved same message in kernel log.

Same symptoms as before.  There appears to be 2 issues.  1 the kernel error message and 2 the hald causing the kernel to spit out the errors more frequently.  Maybe i should log a kernel bug?  Not sure.

Thanks

I'll gladly pass this upstream to a blacklist file... however it is a kernel bug. The kernel should support that query properly.

[Comment 4 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2006-05-27 20:39:27 UTC]

Steve,

We should have a Gentoo specific blacklist file..

Changing to assigned to make one.

[Comment 5 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2006-06-16 09:58:23 UTC]

can you give a lshal of the device?

I'm going to have to defer this to some of the newer revisions available. Please test with those.
