I've been getting IDE DMA timeouts on a laptop. They cause a rather
unpleasant oops as well. I'll cover the oops in a separate email.
Kernels 2.3.99-pre4(ish) up to 2.3.99-pre7-1
Machine is a Toshiba Satellite 4100XDVD. It's a P.O.S, BTW. Brand new,
A$5,000 400MHz PII. It can't compile kernels. After sixty seconds we
start getting sig11's in cc1. Sure sign of overheating. It also
randomly inserts 4k blocks of 0xff's into files on 4k boundaries - does
this about five times when doing a CVS checkout of a kernel tree.
Fortunately it is a loaner. Unfortunately I'll be rid of it in a few
days and can't promise to try patches.
The machine sort-of works in PIO. With DMA it fails every few
megabytes.
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 {DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: timeout waiting for DMA.
This repeats four times with ~10 second interval, then:
hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset success
then about one second of disk activity then the oops. I've tried it
with and without CONFIG_PIIX_TUNING. The .config is at
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/toshiba.config
