Hi,
I don't know if it is related to this, but there seems to be general bug in
the cdrom-ide driver to get the exact size of a CD.
When reading a CD-image using dd, my system also locks up until I eject the CD
with the cdrom-drive-eject button.
I've already send the following patch to Jens Axboe, but so far he hasn't
answered yet:
diff -rbBu linux-2.4.19/drivers/ide/ide-cd.c

stat = cdrom_queue_packet_command(drive, &pc);
if (stat == 0)
- *capacity = 1 + be32_to_cpu(capbuf.lba);
+ *capacity = be32_to_cpu(capbuf.lba) - 1;
return stat;
}
Please note that I got the correct value of *capacity empirically, since I
compered several values of the IDE-drive with the ones of my scsi drive.
Since I don't understand the cdrom_read_capacity() function (would be nice if
someone could explain me, where "capbuf.lba" gets its values and
what be32_to_cpu() does), I'm not 100% sure that the patch is correct.
