Hi, when playing dvds the movie gets stopped from time to time and restarts itsself after a short oeriod of idle some frames after the position where it halted.
I took a look into the log file and found this: hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 } hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0 end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 13053192 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263298 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263299 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263300 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263301 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263302 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263303 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263304 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263305 hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 } hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0 end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 13053192 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263298 Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 3263299 hda: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 } hda: possibly failed opcode: 0xa0 end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 13053192 Does this mean my drive is bad? The dvd itsself does not have any visible scratches or something like that... Or is it possible, that something below the application layer and above the hardware layer has problems? This symptom is noticeable with vlc as with mplayer. Any hint/help is very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!
