Hi all, I'm using growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=/link/to/iso.iso to burn DVD-Video's. This works, BUT the system load is very high while burning. I'l checked DMA setting but DMA is on (and 32 bit). I googled around but can not find a solution. I tried again and found that after burning dma is off!? I checked dmesg and found message: -------------------------------------- hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } hdc: irq timeout: error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d hdc: DMA disabled hdc: ATAPI reset complete -------------------------------------- I tested a few times and sometimes only the system load is very high but DMA is still set after the run, but often DMA setting is disabled and I get the message above.
My system configuration is: uname -a Linux vdr.noto.de 2.4.27-ctvdr-1 #1 Fri Oct 15 18:38:29 UTC 2004 i686 GNU/Linux hdparm -i /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: Model=_NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG, FwRev=2.16, SerialNo= Config={ Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic } RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120} PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2 AdvancedPM=no * signifies the current active mode ------------------------------ Is this a growisofs problem or a kernel problem? What causes this trouble? What can I do to avoid this problems. Thanks for any help and kind regards, Thomas Fritzsche -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
