When I try and rip DVDs with this drive, I will go along fine and then suddenly something hits a snag, the drive drops out of DMA mode and my whole system crawls. Sometimes it will work all the way through. When I rip with my USB2 DVD drive at the same time I almost always get the problem (the drive with the problem is an internal IDE drive).

DMA and unmaskirq were not enabled on this drive by default; I had to add an entry into hdparm.conf. If anyone knows of a diagnostic I can look at that will shed some light on why DMA/unmaskirq weren't enabled by default I would appreciate it.

Here's the output of hdparm -i:

Code:

 hdparm -i /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

 Model=SONY CD-RW/DVD-ROM CRX310EE, FwRev=SDK3, SerialNo=2006011900006280
 Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
 RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
 BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
 (maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:227,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2
 AdvancedPM=no
 Drive conforms to: Unspecified:  ATA/ATAPI-5

 * signifies the current active mode



And here's what I get in dmesg after the failure kicks in (keep in mind, it goes along fine for a while):

Code:

hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hda: DMA disabled
hda: ATAPI reset complete


Has anyone ever seen this? Anyone know of a log I can check to see the kernel's reason for not enabling DMA on the drive by default? Thanks for your time.

It doesn't do it at all on windows, and it does it more often on linux when I do stuff with my other drive at the same time, so I think it is more likely to be a problem with interrupts or something else.

I don't think so, as I mentioned above, one of the drives (one not having problems) is a USB2 drive. Further, my disk drive is on SATA.
