Hello,
I have a problem with k3b. If I start k3b with a blank CD or DVD in the CD/DVD
drive, k3b hangs when started and I get the following kernel message:
Jun 2 16:40:20 tessa kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I
recognize!
Jun 2 16:40:29 tessa kernel: hdd: DMA timeout retry
Jun 2 16:40:34 tessa kernel: hdc: lost interrupt
Jun 2 16:40:39 tessa kernel: hdd: status timeout: status=0xd8 { Busy }
Jun 2 16:40:39 tessa kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
However, if I start k3b with no CD/DVD in the drives or with data CD/DVDs in
the drives, everything works fine. I can insert a blank CD/DVD after k3b
started and I can then burn them without problems.
My system is Debian SID. I have the following version of k3b installed:

Any suggestions what to do to not hang my computer when starting k3b with a
blanl CD/DVD in the drives?
Greetings,
Michael
What drive do you have, and what is the output of:
lspci -v|grep -i ide
I had to disable DMA on my CD-RW drive for it to work correctly. To do
this, I had the following in /etc/hdparm.conf:
/dev/hdc {
dma = off
}
