[root@thedog mike]# hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Model=ST39140A, FwRev=841260, SerialNo=AY073758
I have the above drive. I don't get a missing interrupt per se, I
get a DMA timeout. However, if you are using DMA, the errors
appear to be similar. I can also cause the same error on an ACER
CDROM when UDMA/33 is enabled. Kernel 2.2.14 with the IDE patch.
The common thread seems to be a PIIX4. Is this correct? I can
also create the problem in single user mode, without a network
driver module loaded. I never actually tried removing the card...
Those of you that only see the hang when running X: suppose you
boot to single user mode and run a number of tests
similar to:
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=1024 count=60000 skip=nnnnnn
(increment nnnnnn to avoid caching on successive tests)
(or hdparm -t /dev/hda)
Do you get a hang? Are you using UDMA/33?
