Interestingly, with DMA disabled for the CD-ROM drive it still hangs, but without the HDD light lit solid. sounds like a flaky cdrom ... not much can be done about it in userspace i used to have a laptop where the cdrom would spin down in the middle of reading it ... was a pain to install linux off a cd ;) I'm certain there isn't a problem with the CD-ROM or CD-ROM drive. This works fine under gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r5, so it must be related to gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.1. I have yet to try with the unpatched development-sources-2.6.1. well it's kernel related at any rate ;) I have some good and some bad news. First the good news, Greg isn't nuts. I get those same type of errors messages. However, there is a bit of bad news. First off, while I get the errors, It doesn't actually slop anything on my system from working. I can still rip CD's and play DVD's but my kernel logs are totally full of errors. I have tried turning multi-mode by default on and off in the kernel and it has no effect on the error message except with it on I can't rip CD's or watch DVD's. I have also tried with 2.6.0 kernels, 2.6.1 kernels, and the rc kernels for 2.6.2 and it still doesn't work. Doesn't matter if they are gentoo-dev kernels or kernels from kernel.org. I have also booted slackware 9.1 and had the same issues. So it is not a Gentoo problem but a kernel problem. I sent messages to the kernel mailing list and if I hear anything I will let you know Greg. Anyway, I guess my point in all this is to say it doesn't appear to be a Gentoo bug. And further more, try messing with the multimode setting, perhaps it'll restore your ability to have a working system. It is under the Devices Drivers/ATA stuff in the kernel. Just checked my kernel ATA settings. I have multimode enabled which in the help is the suggested setting relating to the error message I receive. Thanks for the additional info John. Closing this, as it's an upstream bug and it has already been reported on lkml. |
