I have finally gotten the sata CD/DVD drive to work on my Etch system. I never managed to get it working with the original installed kernel, so decided to try a change to the kernel configuration.. However after installing the kernel source and doing a test compile with no changes at all to the configuration, I found that the CD/DVD worked with the new kernel. The commands I used to rebuild the kernel were: apt-get install kernel-package apt-get instal linux-tree-2.6.15 cd ~digbyt/kernel;tar xfj /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15.tar.bz2 cd linux-source-2.6.15; cp /boot/config-2.6.15-1-686 .config make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --append-to-version -drst \ --revision 1 kernel-image dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.15-drst_1_i386.deb and now I get: . . ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x14B8 ctl 0x140E bmdma 0x14A0 irq 201 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x14B0 ctl 0x140A bmdma 0x14A8 irq 201 usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2 hda: max request size: 1024KiB ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:0f00 82:0000 83:0000 84:0000 85:0000 86:0000 87:0000 88:0407 ata1: dev 0 ATAPI, max UDMA/33 ata1(0): applying bridge limits hda: 117210240 sectors (60011 MB), CHS=16383/255/63, UDMA(100) hda: cache flushes supported hda: hda1 hda4 < hda5<4>ata1: PIO error ata1: dev 1 cfg 49:0000 82:0000 83:0000 84:0000 85:0000 86:0000 87:0000 88:0000 ata1: no dma ata1: dev 1 not supported, ignoring ata1: dev 0 configured for UDMA/33 scsi0 : ata_piix hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 hda13 hda14 hda15 > ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x14B7 ata2: disabling port scsi1 : ata_piix Vendor: MATSHITA Model: DVD-RAM UJ-832S Rev: 1.01 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Attempting manual resume Not sure what the PIO error during the partition display for hda means.
