Yes, it was hald's fault but after fixing this it doesn't happen anymore. Thank you!
Also, should I enable jmicron support, and if I should, I don't know which driver is right for my hardware...

From the previous post: JMicron 20360/20363 support is provided by pata_jmicron in the same group ["Serial ATA ..."]. There is also an old PATA driver, jmicron, under ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL if the new PATA one doesn't work.
There are two entries in /usr/share/misc/pic.ids for JMicron 20360/20363 | Code: | 2360 JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller
2363 JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller |
pata_jmicron and jmicron only support the second, "2363", the other, "2360", is probably an old version of the chipset which is no longer around but you could check with "lspci -n".

lspci -n | grep 236 returned:
| Code: | | 04:00.0 0106: 197b:2360 (rev 02) |
So, mine is old. But, everything works just fine, so I don't care about it.

That's odd. It seems to overthrow a few dearly held theories.
What kernel are you running?
[Edit] Nope, can't make it out: according to my bible (Greg Kroah-Hartman's "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell") "All PCI drivers contain a list of the different devices they support. That list is contained in a structure of struct pci_device_id values".
In the jmicron old PATA driver from 2.6.19-gentoo-r5, the first with either jmicron.c or pata_jmicron.c, the list is | Code: | static const struct pci_device_id jmicron_pci_tbl[] = {
{ PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB361), 361},
{ PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB363), 363},
{ PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB365), 365},
{ PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB366), 366},
{ PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB368), 368},
{ } /* terminate list */
}; |
which shows that only the JMicron controllers with Device IDs 2361, 2363, 2365, 2366 or 2368 should be supported. But your controller says it is 2360.
One last request: could you run | Code: | | cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:04:00.0/device |
it will probably say the same as lspci but it would be interesting to know, if you can spare the time.
[Edit] If you're minded to do a last request could you cancel that one and do this instead?
I am assuming you have your optical drive(s) plugged into the JMicron controller.
If you run "ls -l /sys/block" you will get a list of the block devices on your system: your SATA disk or disks will be sdX and your optical drive or drives will be hdX, if an old PATA driver has got hold of them, or sr0, sr1, if a new PATA driver has them.
Could you run the following on the optical drive device | Code: | | udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/hda | grep DRIVER |
(replace hda by the appropriate device name) and post the output?
Thanks.

No, (I believe) it was just for the case where there is a single Intel SATA controller which has to provide both IDE and SATA.

...
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)

...
05:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
|
Is there anything else I'll need? The JMicron IDE interface looks like it could need some extra stuff. Pretty much everything else works but I haven't tested the card Ricoh reader or firewire yet. |
The Intel 82801GBM/GHM SATA support is provided by ata_piix under "Serial ATA ...", JMicron 20360/20363 support is provided by pata_jmicron in the same group. There is also an old PATA driver, jmicron, under ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL if the new PATA one doesn't work.
Firewire should be generic (I think), the Intel Wireless 3945ABG you will have to dig through the Forums for. NeddySeagoon's tip using " 3945 site:forums.gentoo.org" with Google should make it painless  (had to try the tip, found ipw3945 wireless drivers which says ther's an ebuild)
The driver for Realtek's RTL-8110SC/8169SC is r8169.
I think you know your way around menuconfig so you shouldn't need more detail, should you? |
I already had all that working, though, just the ATA thing was giving me a headache. I think, with your help, I figured it out. However, the last time I tried to burn a CD, my computer went haywire: GkrellM showed everything normal, but the GUI was completely unresponsive. I could view events just fine, but I couldn't interface with anything (no clicking, no keyboards, I couldn't switch to a VT, I didn't have sshd on so I couldn't save the system...). The problem is probably that I mucked with some of the CD settings that warned me not to change them in the kernel config, and maybe I should turn on support for that jmicron thing? I'll post my device information after I reboot the computer...
Here it is:
Does this mean that the driver will not work on my controller or what?

The edit to my last post and your new post crossed.
I think it will sort things out if you could run that last last request: | Quote: | I am assuming you have your optical drive(s) plugged into the JMicron controller.
If you run "ls -l /sys/block" you will get a list of the block devices on your system: your SATA disk or disks will be sdX and your optical drive or drives will be hdX, if an old PATA driver has got hold of them, or sr0, sr1, if a new PATA driver has them.
Could you run the following on the optical drive device | Code: | | udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/hda | grep DRIVER |
(replace hda by the appropriate device name) and post the output? |
This should show what driver the CD/DVD writer is using, please post the /sys/block/xxx, the device name, which you have used. This would be another clue to what is going on.

(I still don't know what a JMicron controller is)
Nope, or it doesn't look like it at least. I don't have a single thing plugged into my laptop but a mouse.

Not a single hdX in there anywhere. Everything is sda, sdb and sr0. sdb used to be sg0 but I chagned the bios in my computer to only use ATA stuff.

Every drive in my computer (two of them) use the ati_piix driver.

In your lspci you have | Code: | 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) SATA IDE Controller (rev 02)
04:00.0 IDE interface: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 02) |
The second one is the JMicron controller, although it says "AHCI" it does both SATA and PATA.
From posts I've seen, it appears that this controller is used on the motherboard to provide PATA.
Therefore I assumed that your PATA optical drive would be plugged into this controller but, from what you say, there is an old-type IDE socket which is connected to the Intel SATA IDE controller.
If that is so, this Intel controller is capable of providing both and you are in the same position as the original poster, ham_se17, and the solution he posted should work for you.
With the corrections that have appeared since that post, the solution is:
1) Enable "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support", you need CONFIG_IDE=y in your config but you don't need anything else under this heading. This contradicts ham_se17's first point but it is required.
2) Add SATA support under "Serial ATA ..." for Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support (which you already have)
3) You don't need to add "libata.atapi_enabled=1" to the kernel command line as it is already enabled by default.
The last step you have already verified, you've got a /dev/sr0: could you please post the output from | Code: | | udevinfo -a -p /sys/block/sr0 | grep DRIVER |
If everything is seizing up when you try and write a CD, it shows that DMA is not enabled on the CD writer but, if you have all the above points, your result should be the same as ham_se17's.
Can you check /var/log/messages to see if it is setting DMA in the CD writer?
Other posts have suggested running sdparm on the device to check that DMA is enabled.
