LiteOn iHBS112 (internal Blu-ray 12x Writer, SATA)

The LiteOn iHBS112 is an internal Blu-ray Wrtier, which is connected via SATA. The drive is automatically recognized under Linux and fully supported under latest Kernel versions:

ata12: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata12.00: ATAPI: ATAPI   iHBS112   2, CL0K, max UDMA/100
ata12.00: configured for UDMA/100
scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROM            ATAPI    iHBS112   2      CL0K PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
ata11: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m512@0xfe510000 port 0xfe510100 irq 73
ata12: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m512@0xfe510000 port 0xfe510180 irq 73

There is a bug in older kernel versions which freezes the Linux kernel and shows the following error message in the Kernel Logfiles:

ata12.00: exception Emask 0x52 SAct 0x0 SErr 0xffffffff action 0xe frozen
ata12: SError: { RecovData RecovComm UnrecovData Persist Proto HostInt PHYRdyChg PHYInt CommWake 10B8B Dispar BadCRC Handshk LinkSeq TrStaTrns UnrecFIS DevExch }

ata12.00: status: { DRDY }
ata12: hard resetting link

This error can be prevented by adding the following kernel parameter during the boot of the Linux system:

libata.atapi_passthru16=0
