Bug#333831: Further Investigation

2009-08-01 Thread Simon Waters
Purchased a replacement CD-ROM drive for this machine, but with the same results. Seems that on more recent kernels the "acpi=off" workaround no longer results in a stable system. In particular if I boot with "acpi=off" on recently kernel, then I get sporadic disk read errors. I can't reproduce

Upgrading firmware may be bad advice in this case. When I researched it last time I was told there is a known issue with the legacy megaraid driver and newer firmware (newer than 6.61 according to this http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/9/30/215 if it is the same issue). The workaround then was to hack th

The daily build of the Etch installer 20070227(?), and the Etch Installer RC1, both tickle the problem reported in Debian bug 333831. Despite discussions with upstream, which suggested this issue might have been fixed in 2.6.18, the 2.6.18-4 kernel in the Debian-Installer tickles this problem on t

Similar problem with USB attached DVD player. Unclear if this is due to boot with DVD player in, or other hardware issues, I suspect a loose USB cable turned this from annoyance into show stopper. Have detached USB DVD drive as workaround - seems okay so far. Here it is kernel 2.6.8-2-386. Thi
