2008-04-07 22:31:09 Leszek description Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24 My DVD-RW drive (NEC-Optiarc AD-7173A) worked without problems in Gutsy - it's IDE drive. It worked with kernel module via82cxxx for VIA controler on my M/B (was seen as /dev/hdc) in 2.6.22 kernel from Gutsy. In Hardy Beta with kernel 2.6.24-15 (linux-image-2.6.24-15-generic) there is no via82cxxx kernel module - it has been replaced with pata_via module. This new module recognizes my DVD drive but I cannot do anything with it - Audio-CDs don't work anymore, DVDs cannot by played, burning apps stop burning after few sectors. I nailed down this problem to pata_via module - I've blacklisted it and copied via82cxxx kernel module from latest kernel with it (2.6.24-12). And now everything works as expected and as it was in Gutsy. So please don't include pata_via in default kernel in Hardy - stay with well working and reliable via82cxxx kernel module. It worked for all people. Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.24 My IDE DVD-RW drive (NEC-Optiarc AD-7173A) worked without problems in Gutsy. It worked with kernel module via82cxxx for VIA controler on my M/B (was seen as /dev/hdc) in 2.6.22 kernel from Gutsy. I've made upgrade to Hardy Beta 3 days ago. In Hardy Beta with kernel 2.6.24-15 (linux-image-2.6.24-15-generic) there is no via82cxxx kernel module - it has been replaced with pata_via module. This new module recognizes my DVD drive and apps generally se it but I cannot do anything usefull with it - Audio-CDs don't work anymore, DVDs cannot by played, burning apps stop burning after few sectors.

It worked for all people and it's too soon to switch to libATA drivers for some chipsets since these drivers have problems.

Not trying to offend, but I just wasted a few days running into mysterious freezes. Switching to the old IDE via82cxxx driver fixes this. May I suggest blacklisting pata_via and including via82cxxx ? It would save people with VIA controller a lot of trouble! I am willing to test, the problem is easily reproducible, but the kernel in comment 36 does not even boot. For more information about my setup have a look at my upstream bugreport: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11426

2008-10-29 21:23:20 Leann Ogasawara linux: statusexplanation Hi Leszek, It's interesting that you noted the Intrepid Beta LiveCD worked but then after upgrading you were unable to boot. Can you comment what the boot failure was with the 2.6.27-7.14 kernel? For example, if you booted with the 'quiet' and 'splash' options removed was there anything dumped to the screen?

Hi Leszek, Thanks for the update. Since you are the original bug reporter I'm going to mark this "Fix Released". For anyone who is still experiencing issues, it would be best for you to open a new bug report specific to the hardware that you have. The reason I say this is because it will be much easier for the for the kernel team to examine that new report rather than having to sift through the multiple comments posted here (many of which no longer apply since Leszek confirmed this is resolved). In your new report it would be great if you would provide the general debugging information outlined at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies . Also feel free to reference this report in your new one. Thanks again and we appreciate your help and feedback.
