I just picked up a 13gb Western Digital drive to put in a linux machine,
but am having difficulty getting it to use UDMA. On bootup, it reports:
Partition check:
sda: sda1 sda2
hda:hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success
hda1 hda2
The system was installed on a borrowed scsi disk, so it's booting the
system fine; the goal is to move the system to the IDE disk, but first I
want to get it talking to the disk properly. After boot, 'hdparm /dev/hda'
reports:
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 1662/255/63, sectors = 26712000, start = 0
Trying to enable DMA with "hdparm -d1" at this point also produces the
timeout errors.
I read over the Ultra-DMA Mini-Howto, and applied the ide patch to the
kernel (2.2.17), with these options:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_NEW_DRIVE_LISTINGS=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_EXPERIMENTAL=y
# CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_WIP is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y
CONFIG_PIIX_TUNING=y
# CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB is not set
# CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_MODES=y
It still gives the above errors, now with an additional message:
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
I also downloaded and ran the utility from the WD website (wd_ata66.exe), to
switch the drive from UDMA/66 to only UDMA/33, since the BX-based BH6
motherboard only supports 33. That didn't seem to make any difference.
I also tried disabling UDMA, as well as setting PIO modes, in the BH6 bios,
but this didn't seem to make any difference. I was overclocking the system
bus, so I set it back to 100MHz, but that didn't seem to make any
difference either.

Right now, I'm kinda at a loss - I'm not sure what else to try. I did some
searching on dejanews and of various HTML archives of the linux-kernel list,
but couldn't find any solutions that seemed to apply.
Also, I'm really more familiar with SCSI - the only IDE drives I've ever had
before now were 2gb or less - so I really know little to nothing about these
new-fangled PIO and UDMA things. :) Thus, I may be missing something obvious.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Thanks,
