Hi everybody.

I've just bought and installed a LG GGW-H20L Blu-Ray burner,...
This is an SATA device, I'm running a 2.6.23.10 kernel (not the Debian
version) on Debian sid (AMD64) and I use the proprietary nvidia drivers
(169.07).
The system is an Dual (!) DualCore AMD Opteron machine.
(Please ask if you need further information)

The kernel seems to correctly identify the device (part of dmesg):

Anyway,... as soon as I insert an BluRay disc or an DVD my system
crashes (it either freezes, that happened with the DVD-R, or it reboots,
that happened with the BluRay disc).

There are no panics, oopses, or any other messages in the usual logs (at
least I didn't recognize them ).

Any ideas?

Thanks and best wishes,
Chris.

btw: I'm cross posting this to lkml and debian-user,... hope nobody
feels offended :-)

Are you sure that Linux supports Blu-Ray? Being chock full of
proprietary DRM, I'd be shocked if it were.

Well,... yes and no,..
Yes:
First of all, the DRM works on file level,... (ok, there are things like
HDCP), and the drive itself should behave nearly like a normal cd drive
(AFAIK).
Anyway, I've already read that some people used mplayer under linux to
play (previously decrypted) blurays.

No:
At least my 2.6.24 kernel seems not to support the UDF versions above
2.01,.. (and all my blurays seem to have versions above).

> Death!! Death!!!
:P :P :P

For my bug:
This is already known at lkml and there's even a bugreport at Redhat:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/28/535
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351451

The problem has nothing to do with bluray itself but depends on a
mixture of using a SATA ATAPI device with the sata_nv driver using ADMA
mode and having >= 4GB main memory.

Best wishes,
Chris.

The only solution is to take out that excess RAM and send it to me!

Are you old enough to remember when 256KB cost a thousand dollars?

And now we joke about throwing away a GB...

yep, well maybe not $1000, but a lot anyway. and that was so much ram
how could you ever use it all... I mean that was more than a third of
640K and no way did anybody need more than that,

It's wierd, but I still feel like buying memory is splurging. I've got
a couple machines that could really use another 256-512MB and I can't
quite stomach buying it. I know, I know, as soon as I look at the
prices, I'll realise it's dirt cheap and wonder why I didn't do it
months ago... just a mental block.

Text-mode DOS apps just didn't *need* much RAM.

Ingrained habit. I can still remember buying a 250MB HDD for $300.
Now you get 4000x more capacity for the same price.

My desktop has more memory than some of our old still-in-service
workhorse Alphas. Of course, the less-old Alphas still have 16-32GB
RAM.
