[paranoia] CDDA problem with drive.

[Lou Sortman]

Greetings;

I am using cdparanoia III release 9.7 (it is the version that comes with
Debian/Potato).
I have compiled ide-scsi support into my 2.2.14 Linux kernel, and am
using a Sony CDU76E drive.  I don't know if it is a bug or if it
something wrong with my drive.

Everything goes fine for the first 500-600 sectors, then reading stops, 
A minute or so later, the drive light goes off, and it hangs like that
for awhile.  During that latter period, the IDE hard drive on that bus
is inaccessible.  Eventually something (probably a device driver) resets
the bus, and another 500-600 sectors get read; ad nauseum.  There is not
a large CPU load during the hung periods.

The result is listenable, but it takes about an hour to extract one
song.

The drive works just fine for mounting filesystems.

Does any of this sound familiar?  I did not see it in the FAQ.

Here is some sample output.  I am not including all of it, because it
gets rather long, and it is pretty redundant after a point.

Checking /dev/cdrom for cdrom...
        Testing /dev/cdrom for cooked ioctl() interface
                /dev/scd0 is not a cooked ioctl CDROM.
        Testing /dev/cdrom for SCSI interface
                generic device: /dev/sg2

Checking for SCSI emulation and transport revision...
        Drive is ATAPI (using SCSI host adaptor emulation)

Checking for MMC style command set...
        Drive is MMC style
Verifying CDDA command set...
        Expected command set reads OK.

Looking at revision of the SG interface in use...
        New style SG with scatter/gather memory management
        DMA scatter/gather table entries: 256
        table entry size: 32768 bytes
        maximum theoretical transfer: 3566 sectors
        Setting default read size to 13 sectors (30576 bytes).
