Subject: Asus CD-S520/A kernel I/O error
Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 20:00:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030628190047.GA629@deneb> (raw)

Something's wrong on the kernels ide/atapi interface for cd-rom's.  I
got a Asus CD-S520/A and it seems that I can't sweep from the beginning
to the end of the CD without getting a sense error.  Commands like:

dd if=/dev/scd0 of=/file.iso
dd if=/dev/hdc of=/file.iso

Jun 28 19:28:33 deneb kernel:  I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 1160064

(note)
the sectors do change if I change de medium, but on the same medium the
falty sectores are always the same.  All the cd's are in top conditions
without a scratch and clean.

(with and without the scsi emulation) are pointless.  On my former HP
9100c cdr/rw writer and Phillips 40x reader this didn't happen.  What is
also curious is that original brand cd's (like a game or the maxim's cd
data catalog) is red 100% by this Asus cd reader.  I thought is as not
an error with the interface but with cdrecord but after testing a cd
burned with nero (windows os) the same happened.  If I change brands the
same happens too (tested TDK and Sony).

As a final note it seems that when mounted the cd can be accessed
perfectly (or so it seems).

I would write a patch/workaround myself but it seems that I can't
understand this behaviour.

Hoping that this report was useful.. best regards, Marco Ferra.
