DVD burner won't mount.

justin · 2007-06-16 05:50:07

I have a Samsung SH-S182D dvd burner on a Asus M2N motherboard. Arch does not seem to recognize the drive, even though I installed with it. I get the following error on boot that I feel has to do with it (from dmesg):

Any suggestions on what I can do to get my dvd burner recognized?

.:B:. · 2007-06-16 06:09:01

Seems like a problem with the libata layer. You could try rolling back the kernel (to < 2.6.19), or build your own kernel with libata disabled (I'm not sure if that is still possible with the newer kernels, but I thought so).

justin · 2007-06-16 06:18:36

Would it be at all possible for you to point me in the right direction for that sort of thing?

brain0 · 2007-06-16 06:59:36

It seems that your DVD drive is an IDE device. Are there any other IDE devices, do you have SATA as well? Can you post the output of lsmod here?

justin · 2007-06-16 07:03:11

The dvd drive is a ide device, and I have a sata hd. Here is the output of lsmod:

Setup configured your system to load the new PATA driver for your IDE bus (you will see that your dvd device is /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/dvd). It seems that pata_amd is unstable. As there are no hard drives attached to the IDE interface, it should be no problem changing to the old IDE driver (that will likely work better).

Can I please see your MODULES= and HOOKS= line from /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and the MODULES= line from /etc/rc.conf before I suggest a change?

justin · 2007-06-16 07:51:47

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf:

MODULES="pata_amd ata_generic sata_nv"

HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usbinput keymap filesystems"

and /etc/rc.conf

#
# Modules to load at boot-up (in this order)
#   - prefix a module with a ! to blacklist it
#
MODULES=(forcedeth r8169) 
# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"

Change this to:

MODULES="sata_nv"

HOOKS="base udev autodetect scsi sata usbinput keymap filesystems"

(I removed the 'pata_amd' from MODULES and the 'pata' from HOOKS). Then run mkinitcpio -p kernel26 to regenerate your initramfs. This ensures that the pata module is not loaded during the initramfs phase.

and /etc/rc.conf

#

#   - prefix a module with a ! to blacklist it
#
MODULES=(forcedeth r8169)

Change this to

MODULES=(forcedeth r8169 amd74xx)

This will load the amd ide driver and avoid the amd pata driver from being loaded automatically. Now reboot. With luck, everything will work now.

Unfortunately, I am still getting the exact same error.

rayjgu3 · 2007-06-16 09:06:39

i had some issue with my dvd mounting some discs
changed my /etc/fstab

/dev/hdb               /mnt/dvd  auto      ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

changed to

/dev/hdb               /mnt/dvd  udf,iso9660      ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

have not had any issues since

Post your lsmod again. And show me the output of 'readlink -f /dev/dvd'.

You did not follow the instructions I gave you correctly. The pata_amd module is still loaded in initramfs, which makes loading the amd ide module useless.

justin · 2007-06-17 07:00:24

You're right, I missed the 'mkinitcpio -p kernel26' command. Upon reboot, I didn't get the error (Thank You), unfortunately, I immediately ran into a new problem. I opened Gnome Baker and it recognized the drive in devices. So I popped in a blank dvd, and started adding files to test it out. The desktop then slowed to a halt and froze, and I was then unable to open the dvd drive again(as if it had no power), forcing me to do a hard reboot.

I actually had the same problem on Ubuntu, which made me decide to switch distros, since Ubuntu was fairly slow anyway.

Still haven't found a solution on the desktop freezing. If the drive is bad, could that cause the desktop to completely lockup?
