I've got an ATAPI CDROM plugged into the IDE port on my AWE32 Soundcard, which is plug and pray. The soundcard IDE is configured as ide2, thus making the CDROM /dev/hde. To configure the plug and pray twinkology, I have to boot into MS-DOG, wait for the Intel Configuration Mismanager to misconfigure it, and then reboot into Linux. Then all works well.
The power failed earlier this evening, and the system rebooted. When it came back up, it booted into Linux, not DOS, as it should. When I tried to play an audio CD using workbone, the program hung, saying "status timeout: status=0xff", and "hde: drive not ready for command." This is all well and good -- it's talking to an IDE controller which, as far as the machine is concerned, doesn't exist because it hasn't been configured.
Unfortunately, workbone *wouldn't die*. I kill -9'ed it several times, to no avail. Eventually, after sending those messages to the syslog a bunch of times, it aborted on its own.
Is this a bug? Should the IDE driver exhibit this behavior?
Just curious.
