CDROM problems in fc3 (was Re: What I hope is not in FC3

[Kim Lux]

When I shut down, I get intermittent "hdc lost interrupt" messages.

Here is hdparm for my CDROM:

# /sbin/hdparm -i /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:

 Model=HL-DT-ST DVD+RW GCA-4040N, FwRev=1.17, SerialNo=
 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=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
 PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
 DMA modes:  sdma0 sdma1 sdma2 mdma0 mdma1 *mdma2
 AdvancedPM=no

 * signifies the current active mode

# /sbin/hdparm /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
 HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument

I still don't like these settings.

I think that unmaskirq should be 1(on).  I also think IO_support could
be 32 bit. 

BTW: my CDROM won't mount in file manager either.  I does mount with
k3b, grip, KsCD.
