Recent 2.6 kernels can't read an entire ATAPI CD or DVD

Recent 2.6 kernels can't read an entire ATAPI CD or DVD

[Bryan O'Sullivan]

Hi, Jens -

I'm having trouble reading a DVD or CD image from an ATAPI drive that
identifies itself as a 'LITEON DVD-ROM LTD163D'.  This is with vanilla
2.6.7 on a system running Fedora Core 2.

Regardless of what I do, I get the same errors:

        Jul 27 21:18:30 camp4 kernel: hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
        Jul 27 21:18:30 camp4 kernel: hdc: command error: error=0x54
        Jul 27 21:18:30 camp4 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 837264
        Jul 27 21:18:30 camp4 kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 104658

I have ide-cd compiled as a module.  This occurs whether or not ide-cd
is loaded (I don't have ide-scsi enabled), and whether or not I have DMA
turned on.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with the drive, as it used to
work OK on 2.4, 2.5, and early 2.6 kernels, and I believe the media to
be fine, as the disk in question plays back on a Mac and a DVD player.

Googling for "error=0x54", I see a lot of reports of this kind of
problem, but never with any resolutions, so I'm stumped.  Is there any
information I can give you that would help?

Thanks,

	<b

When does this happen - during kernel load, or during run of init
scripts?

yeah i get this kind of error in my logs as well from my liteon
dvd-rom at home. thats like 6 months old and happened on fc2 when i
had that installed on it. haven't noticed anything on mandrake 10 (the
current distro i use at home) with 2.6.7.

i got the same error on my old notebook, a compaq presario... that was
prior to the drive being sent to that big junk yard in the sky.  i
forget what model that was.  but i was running then...  rh9.

hope this bit helps guys resolve this.

Sounds like something fc2 is doing, I'd suggest filing a bug report with
them.

Curious. The relevant code should match mainline 1:1 there unless I'm
mistaken. Arjan ?

we don't patch the ide layer, ide-cd or isofs... so really curious.

I meant that something from userspace is triggering these errors, it's
not necessarily a kernel issue.

Sorry, I mixed up two different threads. On this thread, I agree it's
probably a kernel issue. Can you check what capacity isosize gives you
on the device, and what /proc/ide/hdc/capacity tells you?

This is a basically unpatched 2.6.7 kernel:

Looks pretty perfect, maybe it's read-ahead screwing it up. Try if
setting hdparm -a0 /dev/hdc makes a difference.

I am seeing similar errors[1] on later 2.6, too, with about 50% of my
audio CD collection.  Some work, some do not.  I see no pattern.

Already tried disabling read-ahead, does not matter.  Also tried a
different drive.

read-ahead doesn't matter on ripping audio, just for fs work.

The audio problems might be fixed in 2.6.8-rc1-mm1 + the bounce patch
posted a few times (unfortunately 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 drops the patch for some
reason).

So this happens during ripping, or? The problem with the errors like the
above is that they don't indicate a specific problem. I can't just look
at the error and see what causes it, it could be a million things.

This isn't ripping, just playing.

Yah, I will retest with 2.6.8-rc2-mm1.

During playback.  Or any poking of the drive whatsoever, actually.

There will be multiple errors on different blocks, until ultimately IDE
times out and does an ATAPI reset.

Strange, something else must be accessing the drive at the same time.

If it's just playback, don't bother.

So the question is - what else is accessing the drive?

I thought about that, killed it, still happens.

The only "something is poking the drive" theory does not make sense,
though, since it consistently works with some CD's and not others.

Well, your io error doesn't correlate that story :-)

But I'm just puzzled. I guess I could re-rip my entire CD collection and
see what happens here.

Did not work anyhow.

Nothing but the CD player - it is doing CDDB, though, so that is where
the reads are coming from.

It works/fails consistently - for example, I have one CD that never
works and one CD that does, as if the CD is physically damaged.  Works
elsewhere, though.

There must be something if you have the buffer io errors and matching
sector number.

CDDB lookups don't generate io to the drive (apart from that it already
grabbed to show you the toc).

And the CD that never works, is that consistent across different drives?

Yes.  So in this machine I have two drives (a CD-RW and a DVD-ROM) and
the same disk works in neither.

I think I should do a binary search backward to find where it started
failing.

When I tried using dd with readahead off, I got the same error almost
immediately, instead of after a number of seconds.  In other words, it
made the problem worse.

  I'm having similar problems running vanilla 2.6.7 with Debian-amd64 on an 
Athlon 64 using a Philips DVDR824P. It refuses to read some of my dvd+r discs 
to the end, while some may even refuse to mount. In both cases the errors are 
of the "attempting to access beyond end of device" type. 

Interestingly the same discs on my laptop with 2.6.7 and an LG GCA-4040N 
dvd+rw writer read fine. After some time (and some cd burns later) one of the 
discs which used to give errors on the Philips writer started to read fine 
again, which left me a bit confused.

  Sorry for not being too detailed about system configuration at this time. If 
you have interest in this, I can give more detailed system info and try to 
report as soon as this happens again with the exact error messages. 
Unfortunately I have not yet managed to create a test iso image or similar 
which would reproduce the problem reliably, but I can add that something 
similar also happenned with cdroms.

Best regards

Claudio

Re: Recent 2.6 kernels can't read an entire ATAPI CD or DVD

[Lukas Hejtmanek]

Hello,

I have the same problem with dvd+rw medium that my sony dvd-rom does not read.

I have dvd with some vob files on it and with kernel 2.4.x it could be read
pretty fine but with 2.6.7-bk17 or 2.6.8-rc1-bk3 it results with that errors.

There is an interesting thing. If I burn on that disc different vobs then 
the same files could not be read. (In the mean of naming of files VTS_01_0.BUP
and last two VOBs)

Reading means mount disc and with midnight commander to copy files..
