Comment 92 for bug 228302

weird, I tried to use apport-collect 228302 and it wouldn't let me add to this bug. So, here's my situation.

I'm successfully running hardy on another partition with snappy response and ability to play dvd's.

I have a fresh install of lucid on another partition. I had to go to icewm because gnome, kde, xfce are too slow. I cannot play dvd's without blurry, dropped frames, etc.

So, finding this bug, I tried enabling ata_generic and blacklist pata-ali. With this, I can boot up but it takes several minutes. And, once up, the dvd is not recognized. dmesg shows:

[ 86.097696] scsi scan: 96 byte inquiry failed. Consider BLIST_INQUIRY_36 for this device
[ 86.099133] scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-C2502 1313 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

 a lot of repeats of this:

[ 217.824138] ata2: lost interrupt (Status 0x58)
[ 217.828030] ata2: drained 65536 bytes to clear DRQ.

I decided to try the maverick kernel from the kernel ppa, and it does the same thing. In fact, that's what I'm using now.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Since I don't seem to be able to use apport add my stuff, let me know what I need to post.
