Hello!
I have recently compiled kernel 2.4.20 and my Liteon 222 CD-ROM drive
doesn't work stable with this kernel. Problem is that in older kernels
(2.2.13, 2.2.15, 2.4.2, 2.4.18, 2.4.19) it works only when DMA is enabled
(hdparm -d1).
In PIO mode it produces a lot of messages "hdX: lost interrupt" (i have tried
on /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc )and hangs sometimes when reading files >1 MB.
echo file_readahead:512000 >/proc/ide/hdX/settings
echo max_kb_per_request:120 >/proc/ide/hdX/settings
helps a little(doesn't hang, but some data was broken). The figures are
empyrical.
In DMA mode it has worked well up to 2.4.19. No hangs, no data loss.
With 2.4.20 produces message "DMA interrupt recovery, hdx:lost interrupt" and
discards DMA mode on mount and each time, when I try to enable DMA and read
something from CD.
gcc, that was used to compile :gcc-3.2
(2.4.18 & 2.4.19 were compiled with it too)
IDE: PIIX3 (430VX motherboard)
CD-ROM: Liteon LTN222A
kernel 2.4.20, that I have compiled by gcc-3.2 on some other computer with
other CD-ROM drive works well and DMA works with that drive
Help me, please!
Sorry for bad English
Best regards
