i order to solve above error messages, here is how to proceed:

open a virtual terminal, and type the following:

sudo hdparm -w /dev/hdc

I too am experiencing this in Hardy with 2.6.24 when I was not in Gutsy merely an hour ago. My optical drive (a Plextor PX-740A, connected as master to my only IDE controller as /dev/hda) is empty to start with, refuses to open once in Ubuntu (but works fine elsewhere), and I receive a large amount of output. All HDDs are connected through SATA and continue to work properly. This particular Plextor uses a Philips chipset if I recall correctly, if that matters at all...

i've upgrade to the latest Hardy kernel

still same problem, one remark, after reseting cdrom with command

   sudo hdparm -w /dev/hdc

we can see that DMA has been disabled, so in order to re-enable DMA do command

   sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc

to see if DMA is enabled do following command

   sudo hdparm /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
 IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq = 1 (on)
 using_dma = 1 (on) <--------------------- DMA is enabled
 keepsettings = 0 (off)
 readonly = 0 (off)
 readahead = 256 (on)
 HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

after enable of DMA i could use my CDROM with a decent data transfer

Exactly the same problem here on a Debian SID system (I do know that this is a Ubuntu bug-forum. However, we are relatives, right :-))

At the moment I use the solution suggested by pvdeynse (hdparm -w1 /devhda).
I would be interested to know what´s causing these error messages and how to get rid of them without a drive reset after boot.

cheers, cafeschintze

Could this be automated with a start-up script in /etc/init.d and link it to the standard startup levels?

HDC is my cdrom driver...

Dara Adib (daradib) wrote :

Nifriz, that is the exact same bug. And to add to what you said, you probably like me cannot use your CD drive (eject button on drive itself). You can do the following to commands in order to fix the problem.

sudo hdparm -w /dev/hdc
sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc

Replace hdc with whatever drive is causing the problems, in this case this is correct.

And it would be good if someone can check and see if the Linux Kernel bug (top of page) number 9590 is in fact this same bug. It is the closest to this bug, and appears almost identical (including the kernel version it occurs under), but says

hdc: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

instead of

hdc: status error: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

(otherwise it appears exactly the same)

The patch that fixed the upstream http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9590 bug report was merged in to the Hardy kernel a while ago. If you've tested with the latest Hardy Alpha release: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing and still experience this issue, it would seem the upstream report and this report in launchpad are unrelated.

Qrees, you mentioned you noticed this also on a 2.6.25 kernel. I assume you are then comfortable building and booting the upstream kernel. Care to open a new upstream bugzilla bug report against the latest 2.6.25-rc5 kernel? It is often the case that once a bug is escalated upstream there is a quick resolution through the help and support of the mainline kernel community. The following link may be helpful with reporting the bug upstream: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild#head-6f3ed76eab9415109982b0e24a48cd0fa3dbf64c . Thanks.

That's odd. The bug was fixed for me, so it may be a new bug with the same errors. Does anyone who had this bug originally now have this bug again?

These lines are not present in the rest of this bug report, although it is possible that those are unrelated or only present in /var/log/messages after a certain period of time, or after doing a certain action such as inserting a CD.

This is indeed odd. This bug is fixed for me too.
One remark though, my ide DVD no longer has device "/dev/hdc" but with Kernel: 2.6.24-16-generic it has "/dev/scd0"
I'm using a Philips DVD8801

Hello everyone, I'm on Debian Testing and I have the same problem to boot. I tried

# hdparm-w / dev / hdc
# hdparm d1 / dev / hdc

replace c by a
but that does not solve the problem

If someone in another solution, thank you
PS sorry for my English, I speak french ...

Sorry, this bug still exist on a clean hardy installation:
 AMD 780G chipset

Ubuntu 2.6.24-16.30-generic

After burning a dvd I got a very busy system and the following in the log:

eject simply does nothing
sudo hdparm -w /dev/hdc caused a complete freeze, no magic requests, no ping, nothing...

Helle : Since this bug is fixed, the bug you have is probably not the same even if it's almost identical. Please open a new bug report for "linux" and follow instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies to provide necessary informations to help kernel developers. If you want, you can mention this bug report in your new bug description, it would be appropriate. Thanks
