Hi All,
I have just bought myself a SATA DVD Writer. When I try to boot it
is very slow. I end up with lots of the following in dmesg
[ 288.865000] ata1: EH complete
[ 288.866000] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x52 SAct 0x0 SErr 0xffffffff action 0x6
[ 288.866000] ata1.00: cmd a0/00:00:00:00:20/00:00:00:00:00/a0 tag 0 cdb 0x1e data 0
[ 288.866000] res 51/60:03:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/a0 Emask 0x52 (ATA bus error)
[ 288.866000] ata1: hard resetting port
[ 289.740000] ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 3F0)
[ 290.049000] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/25
This is repeated, then stops. The drive does not work.
I have tried unplugging all other drives and booting a live CD, and
get the same problem. It will boot a live windows CD fine, so I
suspect the drive is OK.
Any suggestions on how I could fix this?
Regards,
