I am hoping that someone here can provide me some insight so that I can provide some useful info to help get these solved. Any help would be appreciated. -Roberto Here goes: Box 1: Athlon XP 2500+, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB HDD nVidia nForce2 chipset ATI Radeon 9000 Pro w/ 128 MB This machine just randomly and frequently locks up under any 2.6.x kernel. I can't find a particular pattern, but it happens every few minutes (enough to make the machine unusable). It is now running a 2.4.23 kernel. Box 2: Toshiba Satellite 2805-S401 (laptop) P-III 700 MHz, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD Intel 440BX chipset S3 Savage IX/MV 8 MB video Problem: Every kernel after 2.6.0-test4 gives me a hard lock-up during the boot sequence when PCMCIA services start. No 2.4.x kernel ever did this, and 2.6.0-test1 thru -test4 work fine. I have narrowed the problem to the point where the yenta_socket socket module is inserted. However, if I pass acpi=off as a kernel boot parameter, it does not lock up. Also, if I build PCMCIA support directly into the kernel, everything works. I am currently running 2.6.0-test11 with PCMCIA built in (but I would like it to be modular). I am also receiving the following errors on boot when my scripts set up the parameters on my HDD and CD/DVD (this is also particular to the post -test4 kernels): hda: dma_intr: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } hda: drive not ready for command hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } hda: drive not ready for command hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } hda: DMA disabled hda: drive not ready for command hda: set_drive_speed_status: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } But, eventhough it says DMA is disabled, it is still enabled. # hdparm /dev/hda /dev/hda: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 38760/16/63, sectors = 39070080, start = 0 --------------enig7402A1DF11FA6EFC3DAC3F41 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/1JivTfhoonTOp2oRAhrMAKDNWRo+NnBo4uJGxG3XFi5FvmSWzACeK2yt cG+5BL0nOSdQHEJ1gVAbPLs= =9wm9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig7402A1DF11FA6EFC3DAC3F41--
