I built a new computer using an Asus P5B Deluxe motherboard. I have a Samsung SH-S183L DVD+RW connected to one of the SATA ports on the motherboard associated with the Intel ICH8R controller: acd0: DVDR at ata3-master SATA150 I'm running 6-STABLE. Data CDs (pressed & CD-Rs) seem to work fine, but with audio CDs I'm getting all sorts of problems. From the surface, they appear as hangups, momentary freezes to lockups that last several minutes before the computer becomes responsive again. Some applications (CD players, rippers, etc) don't even recognize that there's a CD in the drive. Or if they do, it's only for a few moments. I looked at /var/log/messages and here are what I see when inserting an audio CD. This is without having any CD apps loaded (although I do use Gnome): Code: Oct 14 21:32:27 desktop kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out Oct 14 21:33:03 desktop kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out Oct 14 21:33:39 desktop kernel: acd0: FAILURE - READ_BIG timed out Oct 14 21:34:52 desktop last message repeated 2 times Oct 14 21:34:52 desktop kernel: (cd0:ata3:0:0:0): cddone: got error 0x5 back Those errors repeat themselves every few moments/minutes, over and over. One idea I had was to upgrade the firmware on the drive itself, so I updated it from SB01 to SB02 (latest) and that didn't help any. I've seen lots of people ask this question, having the same issue but no real answers or solutions. I've tried numerous CDs so it's not a problem with just one. These are very old CDs so they predate any copy-protection methods that could be causing this. Any thoughts?
