Hello,
It seems that the ide/cdrom/amd756 code can cause some bad lockups, at
least on my system. I have an Athlon 500 system running the 2.4.1 kernel
with Redhat 6.1 + updated modutils, etc.
I just managed to make the kernel lockup as follows:
I mounted my cdrom drive (a ZipCD 4x650 ATAPI CD-RW), and did a
rpm --nodeps -i /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/xgammon-bla-bla.rpm
If I instead just did a "cp /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/xgammon-bla-bla.rpm ."
things seemed to work fine.
The lockup was very "complete": even the power button on the front of
my box didn't do anything. I had to use the BIG BLACK power switch on
the back side to get it back to life. I have never seen this before.
(My computer doesn't have a reset button, it must be made for linux!!)
Also, when I reproduced the lockup in text-mode, I didn't even get the
normal oops-dump, the system just froze.
My motherboard has an AMD 756 chipset, I wonder if this means
anything. I did enable the 7409 support in my kernel
(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_AMD7409=y).
Here is some stuff from dmesg (the full dmesg is below):
AMD7409: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
AMD7409: chipset revision 3
AMD7409: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
AMD7409: disabling single-word DMA support (revision < C4)
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:DMA
And some stuff from /var/log/messages:
Jan 31 22:09:09 localhost kernel: usb-ohci.c: bogus NDP=96 for OHCI usb-00:07.4
Jan 31 22:09:09 localhost kernel: usb-ohci.c: rereads as NDP=4

and more:

Jan 31 22:37:31 localhost kernel: usb-ohci.c: rereads as NDP=4
Regarding error output from the actual lockups, I usually run my cd-rw
drive as an scsi device using ide-scsi. When I did this, I got some
error output on the screen which also appeared in /var/log/messages.
At one lockup event I got lots of the following:
Feb 1 15:16:10 localhost kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 0x00 00 00 00 00 00

Feb 1 15:16:29 localhost kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
Feb 1 15:20:32 localhost syslogd 1.3-3: restart.
At other times, I just got some error messages when using the above rpm
command:

Feb 1 15:29:12 localhost kernel: I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 1303020
Finally, I have also had lockup problems with my USB port, which
seems to be run by the same AMD 756 chip. I will attach a bug report
about this issue. However, I can reproduce the cdrom lockups also when no
usb-modules are loaded.
Well, thanks for the great hacking!! I hope this can help making the
kernel even better! If I can supply you with more information, please
let me know.
Sincerely, Anders Buch
