I can't imagine how a drive can be fried by booting from it :( . I thought the kernel panic was because of a bad image. Will check cabling and all the other things in the evening today. Thx! Keep us in touch. Cabling and my hardware is Ok. I have rechecked it with my teac drive i have laying around here. With that all is fine. So my LG is definitly fried. I will try to flash my LG drive tomorrow at work, or is something speaking against that ? Should i better send the drive to my store to get it repaired (I had it 3 weeks or the like build in, bought 8 weeks before)? Effects of frying are here that i have a lot of drive seek complete errors and other read errors. Further: Since my CD1 is burned bad i hadn't booted after the kernel and got a kernel panic, so it seems not to be safe to boot the CD at all. My LG drive is a DVD/CD-R/RW/CDROM Combo drive (GCC 4480B, firmware 1.00), so it aren't only cdrom drives, but also burner. HTH and hope i get my drive back to life again Steffen

That's not many, under the work label. And I'm a bit surprised.
No one else has a working 9.2 with an LG drive?
I do. Just burned another set of 9.2 isos under 9.2 to make sure that
the upgrade from 9.1 - 9.2 was good. Even though it says I'm using
DMA, I can only burn at about a maximum of 8X (drive is capable of
burning at 24X). Under the 9.1 update kernel (25mdk), I was able to
burn at 16X. Under some older kernels it was burning at 32X even
though the drives says it's only capable of 24X. Go figure.

Please, every people with an LG model who already installed 9.2 (download or powerpack), please report the model of your LG drive, and whether it's still alive or not :). Please ask that also to your friends who don't read cooker/expert lists. Also, in the following days, one might consider not installing 9.2 with LG drives, until we can provide a workaround to the problem. You can have exact model name of your cdrom by looking at the corresponding proc file. For example, if your CDROM is the first IDE medium of your second IDE adapter, its name is hdc and you can do the following to see the model: cat /proc/ide/hdc/model You can even do that at the very beginning of the graphical install, by going to the second console (Ctrl Alt F2) and typing the previous command. This should be safe as the fry always occurs at the beginning of the package installation. Then, reboot your computer. Thanks!

DMA is not supported on the CRD-8400B, it is in the kernel

Reading the list I see stuff like :
{ Compaq CRD-8241B, ALL },
{ CRD-8400B , ALL },
{ CRD-8480B, ALL },
{ CRD-8480C, ALL },
{ CRD-8482B, ALL },
{ CRD-84 , ALL },
So this is definitely beyond DMA problems since people fried
CRD-8400B and CRD-8482B already :/.

Then there might also be interactions with motherboards or chipsets or bios config or bios firmware updates.. Well.. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

Re: [Cooker] [IMPORTANT] 9.2 install potentially frying some LG cdrom drives
I've had confirmations that with another LG model, the HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8520B, 9.2 worked nice (e.g. did NOT do any damage to the cdrom drive). Also, with the HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8522B, 9.2rc2 worked nice (it's then -probable- 9.2 will work nice). If your looking for LG drives that work, my DVD/CD-RW works fine on a ASUS A7N8X-Deluxe motherboard. ]$ cat /proc/ide/hdc/model HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4480B Curtis
[Cooker] [IMPORTANT] 9.2 install potentially frying some LG cdrom drives
Hi, Several people are reporting that installing the 9.2 totally fried their LG cdrom drive. Luis Alves on cooker is reporting that problem on an IBM PC 300 PL machine, with a LG CRD-8400B. On MandrakeClub an article[1] reports that this happens on a Dell Optiplex GX1 machine, with CRD-8482B and CRD-8400B models. I've had confirmations that with another LG model, the HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8520B, 9.2 worked nice (e.g. did NOT do any damage to the cdrom drive). Also, with the HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR-8522B, 9.2rc2 worked nice (it's then -probable- 9.2 will work nice). For the moment, it seems it's related to LG CRD-84xx drives. Please, every people with an LG model who already installed 9.2 (download or powerpack), please report the model of your LG drive, and whether it's still alive or not :). Please ask that also to your friends who don't read cooker/expert lists. Also, in the following days, one might consider not installing 9.2 with LG drives, until we can provide a workaround to the problem. You can have exact model name of your cdrom by looking at the corresponding proc file. For example, if your CDROM is the first IDE medium of your second IDE adapter, its name is hdc and you can do the following to see the model: cat /proc/ide/hdc/model You can even do that at the very beginning of the graphical install, by going to the second console (Ctrl Alt F2) and typing the previous command. This should be safe as the fry always occurs at the beginning of the package installation. Then, reboot your computer. Thanks!
