 Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2006 4:21 am Post subject: WTF is wrong with my DVD burners? |
 |
|
I've had a LiteOn DVD burner for about a year and a half. Several months ago, it stopped being able to burn DVDs. CDs burned fine, but DVDs it would give all kinds of I/O errors and dumps error messages into the system log. Most of those errors were diagnosed as hardware failure so I bought a brand new DVD burner. NOw that one won't play nice anymore. It burned DVDs fine yesterday, but today, this is all I get:

I've tried growisofs also with no better results.
dmesg returns thousands of this:
| Code: | hdd: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdd: packet command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }

I've tried making sure I have built-in support for the IDE controller in the kernel and tried turning DMA on for the drive. I've tried killing hald. I don't know what else to do and I'm tired of buying DVD burners! Any ideas on this?
Thanks!

I had the same error. However in my case it would burn about 600Mb first and then spit out.
| Code: | packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdd: packet command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 } |
Turned out dma was not enabled: I could enable it with hdparm but as soon as i tried to read or burn the dvd it would show an error in dmesg and switch off the DMA. I had to buy an 80-wire cable for 2$ to be able to burn a dvd. Now dma is everytime on and I never had any problems with dvd burning since then. |

I turned DMA on with hdparm, still get the errors, but DMA remains on. And I'm suspicious because this drive used to burn DVDs with no problems. I haven't changed anything.

You say you haven't changed anything. Does that include the media to which you are burning?

| Try burning using dev=/dev/hd* (where * is your drive-letter) |

Yes. I have a spindle of 100 Memorex printable 4.7GB DVD-R discs. I started at the top and have made about 15 or so successful burns with these discs and this drive. Now, I can only make coasters.

Just tried it, exact same error.

Just a thought, and wondering if this could have anything to do with this:
lspci -v shows this:
| Code: | 0000:00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP])
Subsystem: Holco Enterprise Co, Ltd/Shuttle Computer: Unknown device 0240
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 255
I/O ports at fc00 [size=16]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2 |
Should I be concerned with the "Unknown device 0240"?
Also,
| Code: | Backfoot Desktop # hdparm /dev/hdd
/dev/hdd:
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
|
This is the DVD burner in question. Should I worry about that last line or is that normal for removeable media?
Thanks!

| Have you tried the burner on a different machine to eliminate the possibility thats its the burner itself thats having problems? If your burning tons of media you may want to spends the bucks on a higher quality burner than LiteOn. Of all the LiteOn burners I've purchased they have typically lasted a little over a year. |

The LiteOn isn't the one I'm having problems with at the moment. THat one "died" months ago and now its replacement is giving me problems. The drive in question here is from an eMachines computer.

This is even odder. I upgraded the firmware for the drive (using a Win32 executable in VMware! cool!) and rebooted. Upon reboot, burning using cdrecord/growisofs worked perfectly... until I tried using the Nautilus burner. That failed, and all subsequent attempts to use cdrecord produced the above-quoted errors. On reboot, cdrecord worked fine again. So it looks like I'll be using K3B and not Nautilus until they get that straightened out!

That's normal.
