Background: I have a Sony CDU5211 CD drive with Intel D815EEA2 mainboard
(ICH2 IDE in 815 chipset). Since 2.4.21 timeframe IDE DMA for this CD
drive is broken (see my post
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0410.3/0480.html). This
happens on at least 2 identical machines. This is the first problem
(that I have learned to live with).
Now, since ide-cd dma is broken, the first access to cd always gets DMA
timeout and turns off DMA, then it works. I have hddtemp installed and
it probes for drives on boot. In 2.6.12 (and I think I tested pristine
2.6.12-rc5 too) the cd works as before - dma timeout+disable on first
access (by hddtemp).
Now, in 2.6.12-rc5 + todays git snapshot, it does not work any more. I
suspect the DMA alignment change.
In 2.6.12-rc2 the dmesg from hddtemp was
hdc: DMA disabled
hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { AbortedCommand }
ide: failed opcode was: 0xb0
In todays snapshot, the dmesg is
hdc: DMA interrupt recovery
hdc: lost interrupt
hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: DMA disabled
hdc: drive not ready for command
hdc: ATAPI reset complete

and so on ad infimum.
The messages are very similar to my earlier reported problems that were
fixed:

Ok that one is very different to the end of media bugs.

It must be, thanks for reporting this so quickly. Linus, can you exclude
that patch again? Rather miserably slow burning for some, than broken
hardware for others.
Seems we do need finer granularity setting of alignment/length
restrictions.

BTW Meelis, any chance you can change that 3 into a 15 for testing
purposes?

15 seems to work fine.
