Hi!
Same problem on a Toshiba Satellite A100, using Gnome on "etch".
Data CDs/DVDs work perfectly, but when I try to rip with cdparanoia
(grip) or
to listen to audio cd (using the default gnome player, or xmms, it's
the same)
the system freezes and I have to power-off using the power button.
When I power-up again I always receive a message like "inconsistent
filesystem structure"
(or something similar, I don't remeber exactly) when grub tries to load
the kernel, then I have to
boot using Knoppix and re-install grub.
It's not so funny.
I found this thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/9/120
concerning this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391901
Before trying to downgrade cdparanoia I tried to compile kernel
2.6.19-rc6 on my "etch" but
unfortunately it did not boot and I had not time to fix the problem.
Now I'm using kernel 2.6.18.2, home-compiled, but I found the same
freeze problem using
the package kernel-image-2.6-686-smp (2.6.17).
This is my optical drive:
ata2: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0x18B8 irq 15
scsi1 : ata_piix
ata2.00: ATAPI, max UDMA/33
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33
Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVDRAM GMA-4082N Rev: HV02
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05
Have you got any suggestion?
Thanks! :)
Bye.
