This also turns up when trying the 8.04 release livecd on a Compaq SR1611NX desktop with its stock HP dvd640 DVD-RW, aka the "dvd640i" due to HP's confused naming conventions for those drives. The SR1611NX is a socket 939 Athlon 64 machine using an ATI "Radeon Xpress 200" chipset, with the SB400 driving the SATA and PATA interfaces.
If anyone cares about the particular drive, 6.06LTS's kernel 2.6.15-51-k7 identifies it as: [17179577.056000] ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf908-0xf90f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio [17179578.768000] hdc: HP DVD Writer 640, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive [17179579.472000] hdc: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33) ide_info /dev/hdc: MODEL="HP DVD Writer 640" FW_REV="QS12" SERIAL_NO="CNLW03839C" For a livecd user, this means getting dumped to a busybox prompt on the initramfs when attempting a live session because the optical can't be accessed. -- DVD drive errors in hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224561 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
