ROM Drive errors

blueteq · 06-08-2009, 08:00 PM

As I have posted elswhere and on these forums, no one seems to respond to this issue. Am I missing something, am I beeing a complete n00b and not seeing why no one is responding?

I get these errors on boot or when I insert a disc into my DVD Drive.
This is the error, and Disc refuses to mount.

Code:

[    7.481876] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0
[    7.481941] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1
[    7.481998] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 2
[    7.482054] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 3
[    7.484991] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0
[    7.485059] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 0

xtract of what I tried,

No I have read through many forums and questioned our good friend Google and it does not look to good. I have swapped out three different ROM drives. As the server install is a breeze its not hard to reinstall, done that with 9.04 and problem came back. Then went back to 8.04 and problem persisted, hoping the older kernel will fix it.
I have tried three different IDE cables, I have tried IDE0 and IDE1 I have cleared the CMOS. Also tried playing with the Jumpers. Tried adding ide_generic_all as a boot parameter. You name it.

After some reading this might be the issue, the discs I am putting in the drive are all audio discs. (wanting to use it with Ripit).
I read that as there are no Lib's to read the audio it gives the above errors....
Installing something like cdcd did not really resolve the issue.

I figured it out, after a lot of reading and not understanding clearly I am able to use ripit now.
Audio CD's does not get mounted, they run in some Virtual File system, that's why I got those error messages in dmesg and at startup. The system don't know how to read the VFS only a app like a CD Player or Ripit knows....
