Bug#263753: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686: mounting cdrom causes kernel panic
Package: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-686
Version: 2.6.7-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
Attempting to mount a CDROM results in the CD spinning for approximately
30 seconds, then the system locks up completely (unresponsive to
keyboard, mouse, and network). The lockup does not occur when a 2.4
series kernel is used (e.g. kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686), and a CDROM can
be mounted sucessfully, but some error messages are logged in
/var/log/syslog when the 2.4.18-1-686 kernel is used:
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: hdd: DMA interrupt recovery
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: hdd: lost interrupt
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: hdd: cdrom_decode_status: status=0xd0
{ Busy }
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: hdd: cdrom_decode_status:error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: hdd: DMA disabled
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: hdd: ATAPI reset complete
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: hdd: command error: status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekC
omplete Error }
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: hdd: command error: error=0x50
Aug 3 20:32:55 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:40
(hdd), sector 11
A similar problem seems to have been reported for
kernel-2.6.6-1-386 (Bug#257542: Kernel panics when cdrom mounted)
Sometimes the only related entries in /var/log/syslog before lockup is:
localhost kernel: hdd: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache, DMA
localhost kernel: Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
Occassionally some extra lines also appear:
localhost kernel: hdd: drive_cmd: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
localhost kernel: hdd: drive_cmd: error=0x04AbortedCommand
localhost kernel: hdd: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
localhost kernel: hdd: irq timeout:error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d
The CDROM can be used to play audio CD's, but after a long delay, and
the reading speed seems to be much slower than usual. When this is done,
the messages that appear in syslog are:
Output from appropriate /proc entries:
/proc/ide/hdd/model
CD-ROM 24X/AKOx
/proc/ide/hdd/driver
ide-cdrom version 4.61
