CDROM Problem: Bad transfer size
Debian Users:
While installing Debian 2.1 on my new Linux box, I ran into cdrom
reading problems in the dselect phase. I selected the applications I
wanted, and dselect started. I began to notice the following messages:
hdb: cdrom_real_intr: Bad transfer size 65534
This drive is not supported by this version of the driver
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40, sector 888148
hdb: status error: status = 0x58
hdb: drive not ready for command
hdb: ATAPI reset complete
These messages would repeat, perhaps 100s of times. Finally, the
loading would stop with a fatal device error. Twice (out of perhaps 10
tries) all selected applications were loaded, but always with many Bad
transfer size messages.
I should note that I loaded a Win98 partition on the same box without
incident using the standard MS ATAPI driver.
The CDROM is a Creative Labs 36X device, and the PC is running an Abit
board, with 400 Celeron, 128 Mb, and 10GB Western Dig HD.
Any help appreciated.
