Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic
Reading from the dvd drive in edgy is painfully slow. dd (invoked as: dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/dev/null bs=100M count=1) reports a read-speed of ~1.8MB/s. The same problem existed in dapper, and i think it's related to bug #42083. I've tried booting with combined_mode=ide, combined_mode=libata, neither made any difference, nor did passing the atapi_enabled=1 parameter to libata. Most of the instructions i've found on the net talk about getting libata/ata_piix to handle the sata controller instead of ide- generic, but in my case that's already the case, and DMA still doesn't work, despite dmesg claiming the drive is set up for UDMA/33. DMA works fine for the hard drive though. Software: Edgy release linux-image-2.6.17-10-generic Hardware: Ibm t43p laptop Intel 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller.
