Blu Ray LG GGW-H20L crashes Linux

Blu Ray LG GGW-H20L crashes Linux

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hi everybody.

I've just bought and installed a LG GGW-H20L Blu-Ray burner,...
This is an SATA device, I'm running a 2.6.23.10 kernel (not the Debian
version) on Debian sid (AMD64) and I use the proprietary nvidia drivers
(169.07).
The system is an Dual (!) DualCore AMD Opteron machine.
(Please ask if you need further information)

The kernel seems to correctly identify the device (part of dmesg):

Jan 28 23:22:28 fermat kernel: sr 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3

Anyway,... as soon as I insert an BluRay disc or an DVD my system
crashes (it either freezes, that happened with the DVD-R, or it reboots,
that happened with the BluRay disc).

There are no panics, oopses, or any other messages in the usual logs (at
least I didn't recognize them ;) ).

Any ideas?

Thanks and best wishes,
Chris.

btw: I'm cross posting this to lkml and debian-user,... hope nobody
feels offended :-)

How much RAM is in your machine? There's a known problem with sata_nv 
ADMA with ATAPI devices and over 4GB of RAM. As a temporary workaround, 
you can boot with sata_nv.adma=0 on the kernel command line, or limit 
your memory with the mem= command line option so that memory over 4GB is 
not used.

Uhm *tadaaa* ... got 4GB ^^
Ok,.. so If this only applies to ATAPI devices it should be clear why my
SATA HDDs aren't affected ;)

Great,.. will have a try tomorrow :-)

Is this already fixed in git?

best wishes,
Chris.

Nope, I/we are still trying to figure out how to fix this properly..

I see :-)
Uhm is there a bugreport opened, so that I can trace your efforts? Or
would you be so kind to inform me when you have a patch an Linus
accepted it? :-)

btw: Could you also fix that AACS issue?? (ok I know that this isn't
bluray related,... ;-P )

Thanks,
Chris.

I don't know about kernel.org Bugzilla, but there's a Red Hat Bugzilla 
entry here:
