DVD RW isuue
Hi guys!
Having big time probs with my dvd-rw ONLY on LINUX !! On windows it works like a breeze.
No matter whever i download from,whichever torrent i use or whichever arch (x86 / 64) of ubuntu 5.04 - 5.10 i use, the install fails either at 13 % while copying e2fsprogsXXX.udeb or 23% jfsutilsXXX.udeb
Ironically there wasnt any problem if i use the ship it cds of warty !
So i had to connect my old cd-r drive to get ubuntu installed.
Pain starts...
Cant burn on to a CD-RW
gnomebaker segfaults
nautilus writes binary content like jpg images as text/plain files !
System hangs if i try to erase a cdrw, and need to hard-reboot to get out
Cant eject the media once this happens
juby@powercube:~$ eject
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument
Some gen info which may be of help...
-------------------------------------
When i put a CD-R
juby@powercube:~$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: 4 MB in 4.00 seconds = 1022.88 kB/sec
When i put CD-RW
/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: read(2097152) returned 1966080 bytes
juby@powercube:~$ sudo hdparm -t /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
Timing buffered disk reads: read() failed: Input/output error
juby@powercube:~$ eject
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument
The tail -f o/p of the /var/log/messages shows this
t 16 22:15:25 localhost kernel: [ 134.755363] hdc: ATAPI reset complete
Oct 16 22:15:25 localhost kernel: [ 134.755375] hdc: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdparm once the dvd rw drive hangs is given below
juby@powercube:~$ hdparm /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
My machine config
AMD 64 3000+ running 5.10 x86_64
1 G ram
