Compaq DL380 cd-rom error

[votum76]

I have install Fedora Core 1 on a couple Compaq DL380's
all the hardware is pretty much autodetected
except there is a slight bug with the cdrom drivers
the cdrom is a standard ide cdrom drive
but the ide bus is alittle weird as it only supports atapi drives
and not ide hard drivers

I keep getting this error
WARNING: Kernel Errors Present
hda: set_drive_speed_status: error=0x04...: 2Time(s)
hda: set_drive_speed_status: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }...: 2Time(s)

Normally this does not cause problems except when I try to reboot with a cdrom left in the drive and then the system crashes while trying to unmount the filesystems

anyone have a idea what this problem could be


thanks alot

I've got a couple of dozen of these boxes and all seem to have a few quirks with the IDE bus. Thankfully I don't use the IDE bus once they get the OS loaded. I've done away with using the cdroms even for the installs by just installing fedora from two boot disks over NFS.

I was actually running into a problem with the install dying on transferring image to hard drive, not enough space which I solved by booting the install cd with linux allowcddma.

try booting with option "ide=nodma" in your kernel parameters to see if that suppresses the error message.

Unfortunately I have tried both options
neither of which solve the problem
I still get that error messages and lockups when
rebooting

kernel 2174 seems to have solved all my problems
cd-rom driver works flawlessly
as well as compaq remote insight board which was having
troubles better also


Thanks for the help
