    Hi Linux-Hackers,

    I posted this message first to the cdwriter mailing list (
    http://www.mail-archive.com/cdwrite%40other.debian.org/msg07041.html )
    but they told me this is a kernel problem, thus I post it here again.
    Because I had this DVD-Device running without problem in 2.6.8 I can
    exclude that it's a cabel/hw-problem.

    Thanks and regards,
     Thomas Fritzsche

    Hi all,

    I'm using growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=/link/to/iso.iso to burn DVD-Video's. This
    works, BUT the system load is very high while burning. I'l checked DMA
    setting but DMA is on (and 32 bit). I googled around but can not find a
    solution. I tried again and found that after burning dma is off!? I
    checked dmesg and found message:
    --------------------------------------
    hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
    hdc: irq timeout: error=0xd0LastFailedSense 0x0d
    hdc: DMA disabled
    hdc: ATAPI reset complete
    --------------------------------------
    I tested a few times and sometimes only the system load is very high but
    DMA is still set after the run, but often DMA setting is disabled and I
    get the message above.

    My system configuration is:

    uname -a
    Linux vdr.noto.de 2.4.27-ctvdr-1 #1 Fri Oct 15 18:38:29 UTC 2004 i686
    GNU/Linux

    hdparm -i /dev/hdc

    /dev/hdc:

     Model=_NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG, FwRev=2.16, SerialNo=
     Config={ Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
     RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
     BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
     (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
     IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
     PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
     DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
     UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2
     AdvancedPM=no

     * signifies the current active mode

    ------------------------------

    Is this a growisofs problem or a kernel problem? What causes this trouble?
    What can I do to avoid this problems.

    Thanks for any help and kind regards,
     Thomas Fritzsche
