Re: Sony PRS-505 Reader and camcontrol load problem

2009-08-03 Thread James Phillips

I like to blame things like that on DRM. Proving it is the tricky part.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagicGate

The Wikipedia article says the Sony Portable e-Reader PRS-500 did not support 
MagicGate, but future support is possible through a firmware update.

Regards,

James

Sony PRS-505 Reader and camcontrol load problem

2009-08-02 Thread Andrei Crivoi
Hi gaise,
i'm trying to mount a memory stick card on my Sony Portable Reader PRS-505
device and constantly getting the "Error received from start unit command"
message when issuing "camcontrol load" command.
Here is the full log:

[r...@morbo /usr/home/andrei]# camcontrol rescan all
Re-scan of bus 0 was successful
Re-scan of bus 1 was successful

[r...@morbo /usr/home/andrei]# camcontrol devlist
 at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0)
  at scbus1 target 0 lun 1 (pass1,da1)
  at scbus1 target 0 lun 2 (pass2,da2)

[r...@morbo /usr/home/andrei]# camcontrol load 1:0:1
Error received from start unit command

The most interesting fact - 'camcontrol format' somehow saves the situation:

[r...@morbo /usr/home/andrei]# camcontrol format 1:0:1
You are about to REMOVE ALL DATA from the following device:
pass1:  Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device
40.000MB/s transfers
Are you SURE you want to do this? (yes/no) yes
Current format timeout is 10800 seconds
Enter new timeout in seconds or press
return to keep the current timeout [10800]
camcontrol: Unexpected SCSI error during format
(pass1:umass-sim0:0:0:1): TEST UNIT READY. CDB: 0 20 0 0 0 0
(pass1:umass-sim0:0:0:1): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error
(pass1:umass-sim0:0:0:1): SCSI Status: Check Condition
(pass1:umass-sim0:0:0:1): UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0
(pass1:umass-sim0:0:0:1): Not ready to ready change, medium may have changed

[r...@morbo /usr/home/andrei]# camcontrol load 1:0:1
Unit started successfully, Media loaded

And now i'm able to mount the device:
[r...@morbo /usr/home/andrei]# sudo mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1 /media/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da1: : Invalid argument
[r...@morbo /usr/home/andrei]# sudo mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1s1 /media/

Somebody please explain what is going on and why can't i load the device
without trying to format it first.
