Re: [ide-]scsi timeouts while writing cdrom

[Steven Walter <srwalter@yahoo.com>]

With what drive chipset is this?

In any event, try doing an 'hdparm -d0 /dev/hdd' and see if that fixes
it.  That will turn off DMA on the CD-RW, which is probably causing the
trouble.  If not, see if turning off DMA on /all/ the drives fixes it.

I had a problem similar to this on my system, with an AMD-751 ide
controller.  To fix it, all I had to do was turn on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
and then "AMD Viper ATA-66 Override (WIP)".  After that, the problem
went away.
