Debian Users: While installing Debian 2.1 on my new Linux box, I ran into cdrom reading problems in the dselect phase. I selected the applications I wanted, and dselect started. I began to notice the following messages:
hdb: cdrom_real_intr: Bad transfer size 65534 This drive is not supported by this version of the driver end_request: I/O error, dev 03:40, sector 888148 hdb: status error: status = 0x58 hdb: drive not ready for command hdb: ATAPI reset complete These messages would repeat, perhaps 100s of times. Finally, the loading would stop with a fatal device error. Twice (out of perhaps 10 tries) all selected applications were loaded, but always with many Bad transfer size messages. I should note that I loaded a Win98 partition on the same box without incident using the standard MS ATAPI driver. The CDROM is a Creative Labs 36X device, and the PC is running an Abit board, with 400 Celeron, 128 Mb, and 10GB Western Dig HD. Any help appreciated. Norm Hummon
