Copying my post from bug #178808, which is probably a duplicate: OK, I tried the fixes mentioned at: http://linux-ata.org/faq.html#combined 1. My bios (ASUS M2N4-SLI, v. 0909) didn't allow changing BIOS mode. 2. Appending combined_mode=libata booted, but I had no mouse or keyboard (both USB) 3. Appending combined_mode=ide worked! It booted, mouse and keyboard worked, and I was able to burn CDs at full speed. SUCCESS.
This entire bug cost me about 10 coasters; most of my frustration stems from the fact that burning CDs at full speed worked for more than 2 years, then stopped. Adding kernel parameters is not for the newbie, the problem exists elsewhere and should be fixed elsewhere. Adding the kernel parameter should be viewed as a workaround, so the bug should probably not be closed, just re-pointed to wodim or wherever the bug actually lives. -- I can't write a cd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149076 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to k3b in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
