I've been on skiing vacation this week, so I apologize that I didn't respond sooner. It worked perfectly with 2.6.18, however completely sucks with 2.6.19. So there has nothing changed in the BIOS Cheers, Jay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: [kernel 2.6.19-r4] DVD Drive extremely slow
Hey! I just found out that this is a bug in kernel 2.6.19 (http://linuxforen.de/forums/showthread.php?t=230939) and no patches have been offered yet. So if anyone knows a patch for this issue, it would be nice if you could offer a link to the patch. Cheers, Jay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I get 2x DVD writing speed I get 500KB/s to 1,5 MB/s reading speed. I can mount and access it, but it's just SLOW. Any hints? Cheers, Jay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Hmm... I'm not sure to be honest. Nothing untoward popping up in dmesg?

Time to crack open hdparm maybe? Although dmesg did say the drive was using UDMA/33 but I'm not sure if that means Linux is actually using DMA for the drive or if thats just what the BIOS has it set at. I'd maybe check IDE cables as well btw. I had a bad IDE cable once cause some fun problems with a hard disk. -- djn I do not represent anyone else in emails I send to this list. maybe youd be happier if it was udma/133 ? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hey everybody! I've upgraded to kernel 2.6.19 (gentoo sources) a few days ago however I can't get my DVD Drive working correctly. ... snip ... Btw.: It worked perfectly well under openSUSE 10.2 (don't have it installed anymore, so I can't check which drivers were used) and gentoo kernel 2.6.18-r6 (I also used the ATA_PIIX driver there). Any hints? Cheers, Jay -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list When you say you cant get it working correctly what exactly do you mean? Do you mean it's slow when reading or writing CDs/DVDs? Or do you mean you can't access it at all? What sort of methods did you use to test its speed? AFAIK 33MB/s should be fine for a DVD drive - 16x is approx 21MB/s, *theoretically* so I doubt it will ever even reach that. -- djn -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
