FC2 - cdrom: dropping to single frame dma & cd ripping

[Graham Smith]

Hi Everyone,

Just recently I tried to do some audio cd ripping on my FC2 build and
I'm having a woeful time. I've never really tried this on my machine
since putting FC2 on it.  I'm running latest kernel (2.6.10-1.770_FC2).

The symptoms are exactly the same as the bug described here, but this
bug is now closed:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=124567

I'm using a Sony CDU5231.  I have good confirmation this is not a
hardware issue.  This setup works 100% under, dare I say it, WinXP using
various ripping tools but under Linux ripping falls to pieces.

Basically ripping stalls around the 9th track mark with the following
kernel errors:

Mar 17 16:38:06 bravo kernel: cdrom: dropping to single frame dma
Mar 17 16:39:08 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Mar 17 16:39:08 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00 { }
Mar 17 16:39:08 bravo kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete
Mar 17 16:40:08 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Mar 17 16:40:08 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00 { }
Mar 17 16:40:09 bravo kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete
Mar 17 16:41:19 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Mar 17 16:41:19 bravo kernel: hdd: irq timeout: error=0x00 { }
Mar 17 16:41:19 bravo kernel: hdd: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Mar 17 16:41:19 bravo kernel: hdd: status timeout: error=0x00 { }
......

This goes on until I reboot.  I'm using the default ide-cd driver (not
ide-scsi).  I have tried disabling DMA but this made no difference to
the symptoms at all.

My hardware:

hdc: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer cd12d, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: SONY CD-ROM CDU523 1, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

Can anyone shed any light on this or should I clone the above bug for
re-investigation?

TIA and regards,
Graham
