DVD burner on IDE SATA adapter

Hi, I'd like to use my old trusty Pioneer DVD-RW on my new rig, which hasn't any IDE connection on the motherboard.

I had a IDE->SATA adapter laying around, so I gave it a try.

No problems at boot time.. the device is seen by the bios, is bootable, and everything looks fine.

if I connect the drive to a southbridge sata port, and make it work in AHCI mode, linux won't recognize the device properly, and I won't see it in /dev/.
here's dmesg:

If I connect it to another sata port, controlled by a Jmicron chip, and working in IDE mode, I'll have the drive listed in /dev/, but it won't work.
I got tons of errors, as if the cd was badly corrupted (which is not the case).

is there any workaround to fix this, either in AHCI or IDE mode?
thank you very much!

Re: DVD burner on IDE SATA adapter

Get an usb-external-dongle-thingie
But seriously, I've tried using such an adapter myself (for a hdd though) , and its basically down to luck as far as I can figure out. (I wasn't lucky...)
Also, these adapters come in all shapes and sizes, also price ranges, and I think its safe to assume that this also effects their quality.
Even if your bios sees the drive and can access it, as far as I know, the linux kernel doesn't necessarily play by its rules(the bios`s).
Have you tried using different linux-kernel versions (livecds from different distros?) What happens on windows? I don't think you'll find a 'workaround', you'll just need to test a bit more, maybe you'll get lucky.

From the look of those errors, I think the kernel cannot make sense of the device, in either mode, probably because the adapter is speaking some weird 'dialect', if you catch my meaning - it just doesn't translate correctly. I'm no expert though

Re: DVD burner on IDE SATA adapter

This is an old topic and I am too affected by it on kernel 4.8

However, I was able to dig this information.
This bug affects *any* device that uses PATA-SATA bridge.

I will report back in case I manage to solve it.

Re: DVD burner on IDE SATA adapter

And it works!

In order to access PATA devices over SATA, when they are attached via PATA-SATA bridge like "Serillel", this parameter must be supplied to  kernel (via bootloader cmdline):

libata.atapi_dmadir=1

After reboot, my DVD pata drive is working perfectly!
This is dmesg output after adding parameter.

[    4.001504] ata6: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)

[    4.068205] sr 5:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg8 type 5

Without it, its only accessible outside of Linux (in BIOS or MS OSes).

This topic is SOLVED, because the patch is already mainlined and invoking it solves the issue!
