BU40N Blu-Ray drive not working with latest kernel

Alesar1 · 2025-01-04 11:16:19

I have a BU40N Blu-Ray drive, with the 6.12.7 kernel and it doesn't show up in /dev/ , but if I boot the system with the current LTS kernel (6.6.69), it works just fine. Any tips on how to fix that? Thanks.

Which is the latest kernel that it works with? Could you retry the device after a reboot?

I've tried rebooting 4-5 times, switching to and from the LTS kernel and the behaviour is always the same as above.
I have now tried the following kernel versions:
6.11.9 not working
6.10.10 not working
6.9.10 not working
6.9 not working
6.8.9 working!
so the latest one that works is 6.8.9

Can you post output of commands:

lsscsi -ldgsv
sudo journalctl -b

when running current kernel and lts kernel?

Could you try the non-stable 6.8 kernel and if that also does not work we could try to bisect between 6.8 and 6.9 ^_^

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux/linux-6.8.arch1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

The drive does work on 6.8.0-arch1-1

Are you confident to do the bisection on your own or do you need some help?
If you want we could also provide you with pre-built kernel images for you to test (which greatly speeds up the test time)

Good info to get you started is:
- https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/rep … sions.html
- https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … egressions

Since we already determined that there are multiple issues at hand here (sleep + brightness) I would like to have a look at the sleep issue.

Additionally it would be good to see if the latest release candidate for mainline is affected:

sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com/\~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/linux-mainline-6.13rc5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

(note that this installs the kernel as linux-mainline, so you need to configure your bootloader to boot it (for example via grub-mkconfig -o ... or by writing the systemd-boot loader entry))

It doesn't work with 6.13.0-rc5-1-mainline
Yes, Ι need help to do the bisection, thank you.

gromit · 2025-01-05 14:45:59

Please test the following image:

sudo pacman -U https://pkgbuild.com/\~gromit/linux-bisection-kernels/linux-mainline-v6.8.r8073.g480e035-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Also verify that you have booted the right image by running for example "uname -r" after boot.

Please also post the dmesg from a boot with and without the issue.

Alesar1 · 2025-01-05 18:36:40

with

uname -r
6.8.0-1-mainline-08073-g480e035fc4c7

the drive doesn't work

dmesg:
