Greetings,
I have a Plextor PX-320A combo cdr/rw dvd drive. On the first access after
a reboot, the freevo startup sequence will hang temporarily while trying to
make the cd drive close its door. If I do not intervene, freevo eventually
continues loading and the following appears in the freevo log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/usr/share/pycentral/python-freevo/site-packages/freevo/plugins/rom_driv
es.py", line 334, in move_tray
s = ioctl(fd, CDROMCLOSETRAY)
IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error
In the system log, I get the following:
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: DMA disabled
hda: ATAPI reset complete
The workaround I have found to keep my DMA from being disabled is to
manually open the drive tray when the hang occurs. The tray promptly closes
itself again (presumably carrying out orders from freevo), freevo startup
continues normally, and the DMA for the drive does not get disabled.
Subsequent restarts of freevo (not reboots) cause no problems and don't
require the workaround. I just have to do this once per reboot.
My question is, does anybody know what's going on and why this problem is
happening? I'm using kernel 2.6.18, freevo version 1.7.3.
Regards,
Buckley
