Well, I toggled the using_dma flag, but this is a cdrw, so it's using scsi emulation. I thought the point was that /dev/hdc should go away. Anyway here's the output of hdparm on the master and slave: coffee (~) % hdparm /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Input/output error IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) BLKRAGET failed: Input/output error HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument coffee (~) % hdparm /dev/hdd /dev/hdd: HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Input/output error IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) BLKRAGET failed: Input/output error HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument Should I be worried about those error messages? The dvd drive (/dev/hdd) gives me the same errors, but it works fine. BTW, mounting/reading data cds works just fine. No errors or anything. I can also play music cds directly to the analog output with no problems. More suggestions? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
