IDE DVD-RW don't work with pata_via module

[Corentin Chary]

Binary package hint: linux-image-generic

Hi

Here is my configuration:
Linux ordi 2.6.27-12-generic #1 SMP

SATA --- HD0
IDE 0 --- HD1
IDE 1 --- DVD
           \- DVD - RW

HD0 and HD1 are working.
IDE0 and IDE1 are new 80 wire cables, and I tried to swap them.

I've got two Abit AV8 motherboard and was able to reproduce that on both.
The old driver works, the pata_via never did.

I tried the latest git kernel, and it seems to be fixed.
But, I've heard the next ubuntu release is using 2.6.28, is there any chance that 2.6.29 could be used ?
Anyway the bug may be fixed in 2.6.28, so I'll try such a kernel, then post the results here.

This is not a bug in the linux-meta package, moving to the linux package.

Hi Corentin,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid.

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 333363

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
