OK. I am able to use the pktcdvd driver OK in mainline with a piix/sata
drive. It could be that something is going wrong at the IDE level for you.
Perhaps; I'll try an external usb cd burner, and see where that goes.
Are you able to identify the most recent kernel which actually worked?
No, because I haven't set packet writing up in Linux before - however, I do know
that I've successfully set up packet writing (using 2 of the 3 cd burners I
have) in another operating system before. I'll try 2.6.18 and see if that gets
me anywhere different, though.
OK.
A quick summary: mainline's pktcdvd isn't working for William using IDE.
It is working for me using sata.
<snip>
So what has happened here is that this code, in ide-cd.c's
cdrom_decode_status() is now triggering:
} else if (blk_pc_request(rq) || rq->cmd_type == REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC) {
/* All other functions, except for READ. */
unsigned long flags;
/*
* if we have an error, pass back CHECK_CONDITION as the
* scsi status byte
*/
if (blk_pc_request(rq) && !rq->errors)
rq->errors = SAM_STAT_CHECK_CONDITION;
I suspect this is a bug introduced by
406c9b605cbc45151c03ac9a3f95e9acf050808c (in which case it'll be the third
bug so far).
Perhaps the IDE driver was previously not considering these requests to be
of type blk_pc_request(), and after
406c9b605cbc45151c03ac9a3f95e9acf050808c it _is_ treating them as
blk_pc_request() and is incorrectly reporting an error. Or something like
that.
Guys: help!
A follow-up: after looking around a bit, I have managed to get packet writing to
work properly on /dev/hdc (before, it was reporting only 1.8 MB available or so;
this was a formatting issue).
I've also gotten the external cd-rw drive to work. However, I'm still at a loss
as to why /dev/hdd won't work. I tried formatting a dvd-rw for this drive,
however, it consistently gives me:
