Hi!
I have an Asus K7M motherboard with an AMD Irongate and a VIA VT82C686
connected to an IBM-DPTA-372050 and/or IBM-DTLA-307030.
I ever had IDE-DMA problems since I got the board in the beginning of
this year.
Until Kernel 2.4.0-test7 (or test6 or 8?) it was not possible to use a
ATA-66 cable and DMA. I got a never ending list of:
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
My hack solution was to use a normal and cheap 40pol cable and was
able to use UDMA Mode 2.
Since test8 (the bigger via change - or so) I get the same CRC-error
with the normal 40pol cable, too. But after a IDE-Bus reset: "ide0:
reset: success" to MDMA Mode 2 I'm able to use the harddisc - a bit
slower. Since then I'm able to use a 80pol cable and get the same
(much lines of error and a reset) result.
I get the same results with a IBM-DPTA-372050 or IBM-DTLA-307030.
With test10 and a 80pol cable I did a bit more testing a few minutes
ago:
When I connect one of the discs to the second ide-channel this second
hd runs fine in DMA Mode 4 without any problem!
When I connect on of the discs as slave to the same channel this
second disc runs fine in UDMA Mode 4 !!?!
I did a short test with test11-pre7 with the same strange results. All
kernels where compiled with gcc-2.95.2 on RockLinux-1.3.9.
The "ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support", "Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support" ,
"VIA82CXXX chipset support", "Generic 4 drives/port support" and "Use
PCI DMA by default when available" are compiled into the kernel.
A friend has the same board and kernels and had no problems with DMA
modes. But he has a Seagate or Western disc. IBM only problem?? I
don't have non IBM discs to test here ...
