Description Philippe Didier 2012-12-27 14:01:25 CET

Testing Mageia3 Beta1 KDE Live DVD

Computer with 
ASUS M2N SLI mainboard
Nvidia Geforce 210 graphic card
two internal SATA harddisks    (using sata_nv module)
one internal IDE harddisk      (using pata_amd module)
one external usb harddisk 
one external firewire harddisk
one internal IDE DVD writer    (using pata_amd module)
one internal IDE DVD reader    (using pata_amd module)


The Live DVD is inserted in the DVD writer slot and used as a live DVD

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4997 doesn't appear anymore : no need to use the workaround adding kernel option rdloaddriver=pata_amd ... Nice
the dvd drives appear as sr0 and sr1 in /dev/ and the IDE harddisk as sdc


but, both of sr0 and sr1 are linked to /dev/cdrom :-(   => Kscd can't display the content nor play the audioCD in DVD reader slot

this may be similar to https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5533#c7

NB : on an installed Mageia2 (using the kernel option rdloaddriver=pata_amd)
the dvd writer sr0 is linked to /dev/cdrom to /dev/cdrw to dev/dvd to dev/dvdrw
the dvd reader sr1 is linked to /dev/cdrom1 and to /dev/dvd1

Comment 1 Manuel Hiebel 2012-12-28 18:02:17 CET

also not a dup of bug 7919 ?

Comment 2 Philippe Didier 2012-12-28 20:11:31 CET

Hi Manuel !

Nothing linked to bug 7919

Perhaps a typo ?

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2013-01-03 11:26:22 CET

yes, bug 7913 in fact

Comment 4 Philippe Didier 2013-01-03 13:07:46 CET

Ah ! OK !

So it's not really a duplicate ... but they may be linked :

in bug 7913, (alpha release) the pata module was not loaded and the ide drives were not identified as srx but as hdx... needing a workaround.

now this problem is corrected : the pata_module is loaded, so bug 7913 seems to be resolved and fixed... I will investigate later .

but there still remains a linkage problem in /dev/ directory when there are two dvd slots :
like in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5533#c7

arf ok

(I swim in all these bugs :s)

Comment 6 Philippe Didier 2013-01-04 02:38:01 CET

Hi Manuel !

You won't have to swim any more with bug 7913 and bug 5533 : I proposed to close them (bug 5533 surely but for bug 7913 we need other tests)

This bug 8524 seems to be only a udev problem (some rules to add in the LiveDVD ?)

Comment 7 Colin Guthrie 2014-02-23 19:21:06 CET

Can this be closed now?

Comment 8 Dick Gevers 2014-12-04 14:56:02 CET

No answer to #c7 for almost a year.

Closing as old.

If you have good reason you can reopen it against current release media (5beta1 or higher), older ones can not be fixed at this stage.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => OLD
