[Devil-Linux-discuss] CDROM problem

[Mario D. <mar...@re...>]

Hi,

I've a lot of pb on a certain kind of P.C. having 32x CDROM.
When booting, this problem occurs *very* often during booting process :

Unpacking OS
hdc: cdrom_read_intr: Bad transfer size 65534
   trying to limit transfer sizes
end_request: I/O error, dev16:00 (hdc), sector 4756
hdc: status error: status=3D0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdc: drive not ready for command
hdc: status timeout: status=3D0xd8 { Busy }
hdc: drive not ready for command
hdc: ATAPI reset complete
hdc: cdrom_read_intr: data underrun (4 blocks)
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc) sector 4760

I've burned several CDROM, tried several P.C. of the same model (Nec
Powermate VT, Celeron 600, CDROM 32x), but this problem occurs :

   * *very* often (1 successful boot on 4 or 5 tries ...)
   * not at the same place : sometimes during "Unpacking OS", othertimes
     during "Loading configuration from floppy"

However, on other kind of P.C., all is fine.

Any idea ?

Thanks for any help
