cdrom: lost interrupt



  system:

    hdc: TDK CDRW321040B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
    Linux jojda 2.4.17 #1 Wed Mar 13 01:33:28 PST 2002 i686 unknown
    debian unstable

  the cdrom is a cd r/rw writer

  problem:

  when I try to rip the audio it doesn't work much (it works VERY
slowly, hours per songs) and I get the following messages in
/var/log/syslog:

Mar 29 00:47:12 localhost kernel: hdc: lost interrupt

  what works:

  reading raw cd using cat /dev/cdrom|od (it cannot read certain part of
CD but I guess that's the feature of filesystem)

  reading data CDs, when I mount data CD I can read it to my heart
content (and more)

  writing CD: so far I only tried to burn one data CD which worked
without any problems, CD is readable.

  other info:

  the same problem occurs with another CD-ROM drive and also when I
connect cdrom to ide0 (as slave, /dev/hdb). Hardrive connected to both
ide0 and ide1 works without any problems. I also tried to turn off dma
and 32 bit access, no change.

  I don't see any IRQ conflict, ide1 is on 15, nothing else is on 15 (as
listed by BIOS and /proc/interrupts).

  Is it possible that it's a HW problem considering that data cd reading
and buring works? I mean those use IRQs too (and I see the numbers
rising when I read data CD and cat /proc/interrupts). Could it be some
kernel problem? I mean how could the interrupt be lost when trying to
read audio but not when reading data? I don't really know what the
difference is, anybody can shed some light on this?

  BTW cd ripping works fine under windows, even though I've read that it
doesn't mean much 'cause windows often pools hw instead of using IRQ.

  The web search revealed nothing interesting, only that most people who
have lost interrupt problem can't even mount the CD.

  This is what /proc/interrupts says (I haven't used the CD since I
rebooted and I cannot use it now since there's no CD inside and I am not
around):
