From 284e423811495f632a7a334b2b93caba07d4f778 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcello Maggioni Date: Thu, 26 May 2005 15:47:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] timeout at boottime with NEC3500A (and possibly others) when inserted a CD in it From: Marcello Maggioni Problem: Some drives (NEC 3500, TDK 1616N, Mad-dog MD-16XDVD9, RICOH MP5163DA, Memorex DVD9 drive and IO-DATA's too for sure), if a CD/DVD is inserted into the tray when the system is booted and if before the OS bootup the BIOS checked for the presence of a bootable CD/DVD into the drive, during the IDE probe phase the drive may result busy and remain so for the next 25/30 seconds . This cause the drive to be skipped during the booting phase and not begin usable until the next reboot (if the reboot goes well and the drive doesn't timeout again). Solution: Rising the timeout time from 10 seconds to 35 seconds (during these 35 seconds every drive should wake up for sure according to the tests I've done).
