Hi!
I'm using a SIL 3512A (BIOS ver. 4.3.79) SATA raid card with two disks
connected to it.
When I'm starting an I/O intensive archive unpacking from wd0 to wd1, I
get DMA errors on the console. If I unpack from wd0 -> wd0, then it
seems fine. I've replaced/switched cables and replaced wd1 too.
I can not get a dmesg at the moment, sorry, but I'll post it later when
I get to the machine. It is an old Pentium 4 2.4 GHz and runs 5.1-base.
I've tried to remove every other PCI cards and left just the SIL, but I
could still reproduce this error.
Here is a transcript of the error messages:
wd1(pciide0:1:0): timeout
type: ata
c_bcount: 16384
c_skip: 0
pciide0:1:0: bus_master DMA error: missing interrupt, status=0x21
pciide0 channel 1: reset failed for drive 0
wd1d: device timeout writing fsbn 124405184 of 124405184-124405215 (wd1
bn 14642 6976; cn 145264 tn 13 sn 45), retrying
pciide0:1:0: not ready, st=0xd1<BSY,DRDY,DSC,ERR>, err=0x00
pciide0 channel 1: reset failed for drive 0
wd1d: device timeout writing fsbn 124405184 of 124405184-124405215 (wd1
bn 14642 6976; cn 145264 tn 13 sn 45), retrying
Anyone has a clue what should I do? I assume the problem is with wd1,
is this correct? I could not replace wd0, but if it could be the
problem
then I reinstall the system to another disk. I'll also try to update
the
SIL card's BIOS. Should I try -current with this problem?
Thanks,
Daniel
