Hi,
I have some issues here:
Plextor PX-W4824TA 1.03 as hdc (no hdd)
VIA KT133
00:07.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586B PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 10) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP])
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32
I/O ports at ffa0 [size=16]
Capabilities: [c0] Power Management version 2
When I try to enable DMA (hdparm -d1 or hdparm -d1 -X66), hdparm -tT
chokes, SuSE k_athlon-2.4.19-167. FreeBSD-5 (with atapicam) is fine and
uses UDMA33.
SuSE's kernel seems to be fine on a different hardware (VIA KT333 +
Toshiba SD-M1612).
I've tried 2.4.21-pre5 which crashes on boot, I haven't yet been able to
go fishing for the Ooops and decode it (I have serial console here, so
it's just a matter of finding the time to do that).
ide-scsi makes no difference (not that I had expected that).
Which kernel version should I try next before thinking about this for
longer?

Hi,
..."similiar" here:
CDRW: Plextor 48/24/10
Linux 2.4.20
EPoX 8K5A3+ (VIA KT333)
Copying the contents of CD is VERY SLOW...
Copying a CD is more worst than a CDRW of comparable contents.
....sigh
Keep Hacking!

Hi,
System:
generic Linux 2.4.20 (dRock 1.60 based with heavy changes)
gcc 2.95.3
Athlon XP 2400+
256MB DDR RAM (Samsung)
EPoX 8K5A3+ (VIA KT333)
Sound onboard (VIA8233)
Radeon 7500 AGP (made by Sapphire)
Interrupts as follows:
CPU0
0: 3617891 XT-PIC timer
1: 27017 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
5: 55271 XT-PIC usb-uhci, VIA8233
9: 0 XT-PIC usb-uhci
10: 3045481 XT-PIC usb-uhci, radeon@PCI:1:0:0
11: 30 XT-PIC sym53c8xx
14: 505263 XT-PIC ide0
15: 74476 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 7
Now, I got the following message whiel booting the kernel:
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:11.1. Please try using pci=biosirq.
If I am using pci=biosirq I got the same mesage without "Please try
using pci=biosirq".
What is THIS? What is that mean?
Anything serious?
Since my box has some "mysterious" effects (locks for minutes as it
seems of being under heaviest load, than unlocks again. Sometimes
programs being "stable for years" (bash ie.) crashes and core dump.) I
would be very interesting, whether this has something to do with it.
Any help is very appreciated !
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Meino Cramer

Now, seems that PIO manages the default hdparm -tT block size, but DMA
doesn't; but the error messages in the kernel ring buffer aren't
specific.
I let go of hdparm -tT, installed Jörg Schilling's sdd and ran sdd
if=/dev/sr1 -onull -t bs=2048 and lo and behold, it passed and read a
data CD with up to 45x. So the remaining problem is that the ATAPI
drives stick to PIO for data reads.
I tried applying Andrew's ide-akpm on top of SuSE's kernel, to find it
crashes on boot on SuSE's hardware scan.
If that's interesting enough, I can try to dig up the crash messages
(I'll have to use a serial console for that though).
