Hello, running kernel 2.2.12 on a new machine I found the following kernel messages in the syslog file with decreasing time intervalls:
Oct 18 16:28:38 Winona kernel: ide0: reset: success Oct 18 16:30:45 Winona kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Oct 18 16:30:47 Winona kernel: ide0: reset: success Oct 18 16:33:15 Winona kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } The drive occurs to be: # hdparm -i /dev/hda /dev/hda: Model=IBM-DTTA-371010, FwRev=T77OA73A, SerialNo=WL0WL110 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs } RawCHS=19590/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=34 BuffType=3(DualPortCache), BuffSize=465kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off DblWordIO=no, maxPIO=2(fast), DMA=yes, maxDMA=2(fast) CurCHS=1229/255/63, CurSects=19746720, LBA=yes, LBAsects=19746720 tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: sword0 sword1 sword2 mword0 mword1 mword2 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4 the thing that bothers me is that the machine locks up for several seconds. Appending a "ide0=noautotune" to the lilo configuration doesn't improve the situation. Does anybody have ideas/ suggestions?
