Hi, I am running 2.4.4 with the lvm -0.91 beta7 patches applied on a debian sid base. When I checked my box this morning the follow greeted me on the serial console. The reiserfs errors are caused by the DMA timeout. Note this is a ultra100 controller not supporting raid. hde: timeout waiting for DMA ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 hde: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete } is_tree_node: node level 15360 does not match to the expected one 1 vs-5150: search_by_key: invalid format found in block 40470.
