DVD drive not working as expected [SOLVED]

Message

alextz · Post by **alextz** » Tue Feb 02, 2010 7:11 pm

Since sometime ago my DVD-RW drive is not working as expected.
If I put a blank/written DVD in it , it doesn't seem to be noticing it, it thinks that there is no media in the drive. If I reboot it finds the disk in it but if i want to eject it, it doesn't do it.The disk is writeable this way. Pressing the button just makes it go out and then back again.

I keep getting like

Code: Select all

hda: request sense failure: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0

in dmesg.

Any ideeas?

lspci -k
cat /etc/fstab

I don't know about the first one, but the "no eject" feature
will probably go away once you switch to a pure CONFIG_ATA setup.

try commenting out the cdrom line in fstab and allowing dbus/hal/udev to handle it

And if (once) that fails, try the migration.

Actually, try it regardless, it's how it's supposed to be for a few kernel versions.

@ Void
What do the phrases:
'pure CONFIG_ATA setup'
'try the migration'
mean? Too cryptic for a non Mage like me.

His lspci -k has all appropriate and only libata drivers in use.

VoidMage · Post by **VoidMage** » Wed Feb 03, 2010 8:57 pm

If there's a /dev/hd*, it's most probably not a pure setup,
in case of a cdrom, it should be /dev/sr*.

DONAHUE · Post by **DONAHUE** » Wed Feb 03, 2010 9:19 pm

@Void
Now I understand you.
Even though he shows the libata drivers in use there may be an interference if <*> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ---> is marked in the menuconfig.
@alex
if commenting cdrom out of fstab does not change the problem:
recommend running:

Code: Select all

grep CONFIG_IDE /usr/src/linux/.config

which should yield:

CONFIG_IDE is not set

if:

CONFIG_IDE=y

is produced instead, I'd recommend reconfiguring, recompiling, resaving the kernel with < > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ---> marked in the menuconfig.

No, you missed one.

Code: Select all

03:00.1 IDE interface: JMicron Technology Corp. 20360/20363 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02)
   Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology GA-EP45-DS5 Motherboard

It should say

Code: Select all

   Kernel driver in use: pata_jmicron

Duh, thanks.

How can I exclude ATA/ATAPI/IDE when my DVD-RW is an IDE drive?

Ok, I think it can be marked as SOLVED.

Thank you!
