DMA problem

Hello !

Sorry to post a seconfd message on the list, I am only trying to get an answern for this - it seems so - DMA-problem ??

I have some
problems with a brand new Plextor-drive, PX-W5224TA/T3B, I cannot mount any CD or burn a CDR or CD-RW, except if I disable DMA with following command :# hdparm -d0 /dev/hdd , a little bit annoying, isn't it ?

If I insert a cdrom in the drive the led doesn't go out, it flashes as usual but it stays green.

It seems to be a DMA-problem or a kernel-bug ??? Its only a supposition, I am a Linux-newbie, and I am looking for an explanation and a solution ....

By mounting a cdrom I get following error messages :

Jan 11 20:46:00 ishwara kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout

And then I have a freeze or at least a blocking of the sysem. I have to reboot.

Could someone give me an explanation of what is happening and a way to solve the problem .... is this a kernel-bug ? Or an incompatibility between the motherboard and the drive ??

If you choose to help me, please don't be to esoteric, as I already said, I am a newbie.

Please, could you Cc all answers to the adress :

My apologizes for my english ....

Is it possible that your ide-cable can't handle the higher dma speeds and makes errors? is it udma compatible? have you looked for a firmware update for the burner @ www.plextor.com?

Firmware is up to date ....
I tried it with an other cable , UDMA 100 certified, I tried all kind of things, putting the drive as master but nothing has worked till yet.

Thanks for your answer

I don't know if this works, but I have found a new BIOS for that board:

In the notes are many "DMA"s inside.

If those options don't work, you might try dropping down the dma mode by one. I have a Maxtor drive that does something like that with my Promise PDC20269 when trying to use UDMA 2, but it works fine in UDMA 1.
