And machine froze; hard. No log entries anywhere.
Pure hardware freeze. I am using 2.1.131 kernel. I
had tried -W1 on 2.1.127 kernel, it had not frozen
but had disabled it after some time -- i don't remember
the message in log file... :-(
I am running K6-2/333 with VIA experimental
support enabled, dma enabled by default (it works).
The motherboard is Azza PT-5VML, a via apollo mvp3
board with 512MB cache and 100Mhz FSB. It has VIA Apollo 82C586 chip.
Normal UDMA mode works ok. It gets enabled on boot.
Is this write cache on EIDE a known problem ?
Is this specific setup buggy ?
BTW I have an AWARD BIOS
[Don't have more idea about it
- I will know BIOS version only at next boot ...:-)].
dmesg/hdparm/proc-pci data follows.
