Hi Everyone, Just recently I tried to do some audio cd ripping on my FC2 build and I'm having a woeful time. I've never really tried this on my machine since putting FC2 on it. I'm running latest kernel (2.6.10-1.770_FC2). The symptoms are exactly the same as the bug described here, but this bug is now closed: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=124567 I'm using a Sony CDU5231. I have good confirmation this is not a hardware issue. This setup works 100% under, dare I say it, WinXP using various ripping tools but under Linux ripping falls to pieces. Basically ripping stalls around the 9th track mark with the following kernel errors: Mar 17 16:38:06 bravo kernel: cdrom: dropping to single frame dma Mar 17 16:39:08 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Mar 17 16:39:08 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00 { } Mar 17 16:39:08 bravo kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete Mar 17 16:40:08 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Mar 17 16:40:08 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00 { } Mar 17 16:40:09 bravo kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete Mar 17 16:41:19 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Mar 17 16:41:19 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00 { } Mar 17 16:41:19 bravo kernel: hdd: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Mar 17 16:41:19 bravo kernel: hdd: status timeout: error=0x00 { } ...... This goes on until I reboot. I'm using the default ide-cd driver (not ide-scsi). I have tried disabling DMA but this made no difference to the symptoms at all. My hardware: hdc: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer cd12d, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: SONY CD-ROM CDU523 1, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Can anyone shed any light on this or should I clone the above bug for re-investigation? TIA and regards, Graham
