Yeap, this did the trick. I'm working on SRST/init stuff and I think I
can post patches later today. What workload do you use for testing a
ATAPI device? I'm currently thinking of the following...
* mounting & tarr'ing cdrom & unmount
* repeat above with eject/load
* burning a cdrom
* ripping a music cd with cdparanoia
Any other thing I can try?
I burn Fedora Core CDs and DVDs, and then run
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/checkisomd5 --verbose /dev/scd0
FC ISOs, and probably many others as well, appear to contain embedded
checksums. This is a really good test, I've found. I'll burn CDs/DVDs,
then use that to validate them on another machine. Or I'll use
checkisomd5 simply as a test of libata ATAPI itself.
On a side note:
As a scan through tons of operating system code and vendor drivers
shows, as well as behavior I'm seeing on my AHCI + Plextor setup, it is
probably helpful for the OS driver to issue internal retries, if the
command returns NOT READY.
My setup works without it, successfully burning CDs and DVDs, but has
problems with really long commands, and such those which occur when
cdrecord(1) finishes a CD burn, and performs its "fixating" step.
It may also be helpful to issue TUR until NOT READY goes away, in
ata_bus_probe() after ata_set_mode() completes.
