Package: kernel-image-2.4.18-1-k7
Version: 2.4.18-13.1
Severity: normal

My AMD 1.4GHz Athlon clone box has a no-name CD-ROM drive with two
buttons on it.  When the power is on but Linux is not yet running,
the right button seems to open the tray, and the left button closes it.

When the system is running, the "setcd -i" command reports the tray is
open when in fact it's closed.  Pressing the right-hand button on the
CD drive and the "eject" command both have the same effect: the tray
is opened and *immediately* closed.  This happens too fast to drop a CD
into the tray before it closes.

Now for the _really_ strange part.  If I press the left button on the
drive, and then press the right button, the tray opens and stays open
-- for some variable period of time.  Sometimes it's 20 or 30 seconds;
sometimes its several minutes.  Anyway, I can usually get a CD into or
out of the tray this way before it closes again.

"dmesg" reports:

	hdc: CD-ROM Drive/F5E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
	hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
	Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12

Because the CD drive appears to behave reasonably on its own, I think this
is a software problem with the IDE driver -- but I am not a kernel person
and not used to this stuff.  Google has not revealed anything like this.

Any ideas?

Version: 2.6.25-1

closing as report against ancient version and no followup
on recent or up to date kernel.
for newer kernel checkout etch+half or better backports.org
you'd need 486 images as k7 got dropped.

thanks for report
