Re: IDE CD problems in 2.6.13rc6

[Voluspa <lista1@telia.com>]

Doing a "hdparm -I /dev/hdc" (without a disk/with a ISO disk/[u]mounted/music CD):

Aug 14 19:14:33 sleipner kernel: hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Aug 14 19:14:33 sleipner kernel: hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand }
Aug 14 19:14:33 sleipner kernel: ide: failed opcode was: 0xec

"hdparm -i /dev/hdc" does not interfere (hdparm v6.1) and normal access like copying,
burning, playing etc works without that message emerging. Though I have seen it once...
During a session of quick mount/umount/play video file of several disks, there it was.
I attributed it to bad media.

This is a VIA motherboard (AMD64 equipped) and I run without any desktop:
