Hi,
IMHO, 2.0.36 handles my (possibly wacky) CD-ROM drive better than does 2.2.12/13.
After my initial inquiry <vi9g0xazqw3.fsf@ganglot.ifi.uio.no> last Friday, I've done a few tests on kernel 2.0.36 as shipped from Red Hat as an upgrade to Red Hat Linux 5.2, i.e. kernel-2.0.36-3.
As described in that message, 2.2.12 hangs indefinitely in a kernel routine, repeatedly issuing "hdc: lost interrupt" when I initiate CD ripping or mounting after audio-CD playback.
2.0.36 seems to have some problems too, but after a few seconds it issues a message to log and proceeds with its destined operation. These few seconds of "hang" seem very similar to the indefinite hang of 2.2.12.
The message from 2.0.36 reads: | kernel: hdc: irq timeout: status=0x58 | kernel: hdc: ATAPI reset complete | kernel: hdc: media changed
When alternating between audio-CD playback and ripping, the following line is also issued one or several times, although the tray has not been opened. | kernel: hdc : tray open or drive not ready
This messages is otherwise seemingly harmless (operation proceeds and succeeds), but may be an extra clue for what I know.
Hope this information has been useful.
I haven't tried any of the "Linux CD-ROM Patches" on <http://www.kernel.dk/>. Are there any that might work for me?
Cheers, Knut Aksel Røysland
