Good evening again, As I already wrote on this list [1], I have a problem with KDE 3.4.2 on my ibook. When I insert a cdrom, kded (in fact the "media watcher" part of kded) starts eating all the cpu and I have to eject the cd using de F11 key.
This problem have been reported in the Ubuntu BTS under the number 10193. [2]. In this list, Johannes Raspe reported [3] about another problem with kded that he solved setting hdc to udma1 [4] but this leaded to other problems (hdc: lost interrupts) [5]. I don"t have the same problem as Johannes (kded crashing when exiting KDE) but I tested setting hdc to udma1. With this, kded no longer eats cpu but hald is stuck with the cdrom (ide-pmac lost interrupt, dma status: 8080 ; hdc: lost interrupt ; hdc: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } ; ide: failed opcode was: unknown ; hdc: drive not ready for command) and the cdrom is unusable ; I have to kill hald to be able to eject the cd. May this problem (the first one described in this message) be related to dma, knowing that outside of KDE everything's ok? Without touching to hdparm, /dev/hdc is set to mdma2. What should be the correct mode for an ibook?
