New: Kernel freeze on accesing CD-ROM or HDD
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10803
Summary: Kernel freeze on accesing CD-ROM or HDD
Product: IO/Storage
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.24-16
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: high
Priority: P1
Component: IDE
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]Latest working kernel version: 2.6.22-14-generic
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.24-16-generic
Distribution: Ubuntu (also tested on Sabayon)
Hardware Environment: Chipset VIA KM266, AMD Duron 1,6 Ghz CPU, 768 MB RAM memory, HDD Seagate ST340014A, GPU Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Software Environment: Ubuntu Linux 8.04, Gnome 2.22.1
Problem Description: My PC freeze when I try to access a storage device connected on secondary IDE cable. This is happening after a few seconds of reading the disk. This problem doesn't appear when I write data on a CD-RW or DVD-RW medium. This seems to not be a hardware problem because when I start Linux using kernel 2.6.22-14-generic this problem doesn't appear. I also tried to change the IDE connections, but this problem appears on every device connected on secondary IDE.
Steps to reproduce:
Load a CD on tray, access it, read some data (for example a movie) and... it locks.
I have read a CD using the tty1 console interface, and I made a snapshot with my phone on what's happening when my PC is freezing. You can see it at

------- Comment #1 from [email protected] 2008-05-27 03:39 ------- Looks like random corruption - are you using the proprietary Nvidia drivers ?

------- Comment #3 from [email protected] 2008-05-29 11:13 ------- yes, maybe.
please unload any proprietary driver so that your kernel isn`t tainted. kernel developers cannot really help on kernel problems being caused by proprietary/closed-source drivers.
can you reproduce that issue with those drivers unloaded ?

------- Comment #4 from [email protected] 2008-05-29 13:39 ------- Please try to reproduce it without proprietary module - Alan and Roland correctly suggest that it may be the root cause of the problem.
PS your system uses pata_via driver (part of libata SCSI->ATA layer) for IDE support so I'm changing the component to libata
