Public bug reported:
Using a Toshiba SD-R6112 slim DVD drive with the latest firmware on
Hardy.
Since upgrading to Hardy, I've had several problems with this drive.
- previously burned single layer DVD-R aren't recognized. When trying to
mount them, I get the message "No medium".
- Burning ends with no error but disks are end up blank.
- worse, each time I try to read a commercial dual-layer DVD, I get a
complete system freeze : no mouse, no keyboard, I have to hard reboot my
machine. It happens in xine, in DVD Shrink via wine, and even when I try
to "cat /dev/scd0 > /dev/null".
The freezing happens on all DVD, totally randomly (it happens right away or
after a few seconds on the same disk).
No message in the various logs.
The system even froze with a burned xubuntu CD.
I've just read 2 DVDs flawlessly with XP.
First I thought the drive was dead, but it seems to work with XP, so it
might be a hal or a kernel problem. I don't mind the burning problem,
but it's a real pain not be able to read a DVD on a laptop without
damaging my hard drives...
