[QUESTION] hdparm -d1 on boot gives strange errors

[QUESTION] hdparm -d1 on boot gives strange errors

[Martin Zwickel]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 255 bytes --]

Hi there!

I'm running Gentoo, and on boot, a script enables DMA on all IDE-Devices.
For my 1st disk on hdparm -d1 it waits 15secs and kernel gives strange errors.
But for my 2nd disk it works ok.

Any clues?
Is it the damn SiS chipset?


Regards,
Martin

Re: [QUESTION] hdparm -d1 on boot gives strange errors

Woah, exactly the same I have, doing the same operation :-)
I have to add that this is happening with a kernel where DMA is
activated by default on IDE disk, so there should be no need to
do that (I didn't try without DMA activated by default).

Don't know, but got SiS too (Mobo is ASUS P4S8X).

Maybe but drive/chipset combination is more likely. The one being out of 
spec is unknown to me.


Note :

What I don't understand is why you need the hdparm -d1 : from your boot 
log, the kernel already set DMA for you.

These come after (probably when hdparm -d1 is called)

hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: (__ide_dma_test_irq) called while not waiting


My clue :

> WDC WD800BB-00CAA1

Hum, I have a WDC WD800BB-32CCB0 here and it is the only one that wouldn't work correctly with my SiS735-based K7S5A (sometimes values returned by the drive including its id string had one bit forced to 1 or 0, had to reboot to fix the issue).

Try a different drive...
