I'm getting these freezes (timeouts) sporadicly on a normal IDE system during normal runtime. Ext2 file system, no pattern except that it never happens on the hdb disk. On hdc there is a cdrw and hdd a dvd: loke:loke:~$ uname -r 2.6.11 loke:loke:~$ grep dma_timer_expiry /var/log/kernel Mar 3 18:03:01 loke kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61 Mar 4 19:54:47 loke kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61 Mar 13 18:52:13 loke kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61 Mar 15 13:35:10 loke kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61 Mar 15 19:38:47 loke kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61 loke:loke:~$ It began with kernel 2.6.11 and I reported it immediately: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110987450912711&w=2 Prior to that I was running 2.6.11-rc4 from Feb 13 to Feb 24 and -rc5 from Feb 24 to Mar 3 without these freezes. But perhaps that was too short periods to catch anything. Adding Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz to the CC list since it should be in his corner.
