We are convinced it's a problem with the ServerWorks LE
chipset. We also did similar tests on with SeverWorks HE chipset
and did not get DMA timeouts. To workaround the problem,
we drop the IDE drives into MWDMA2 mode. We've only
seen 1 DMA timeout since (as opposed to almost every boot).
We had someone put a bus analyzer on our system to watch the DMA
"transactions" on the bus.
Below is the description from the engineer who did
the bus traffic analysis: (there were also timing diagrams that I omitted)
The macroscopic symptom is an apparent lock-up and DMA timeout during
data transfers in *any* ULTRA DMA mode. (The problem does NOT happen in PIO
or MultiWord DMA modes.)
This happens during tests where extensive amounts of data is being read
from an IDE device. It may take several minutes, but generaly to my knowledge
happens within a half-hour.
Upon further inspection, (bus analisys) it appears as though during an
ultra-DMA data transfer, the drive will going into periods of bursting
data, then pausing, bursting, pausing, bursting, pausing, etc. until the end
of a transfer. (This is typical for all drives.) The problem appears to occur
during one of these cycles - when the data is ready - the drive asserts
/DMARQ, but the chipset never responds back (/HDMAREADY.) Thus, after
about an 8 second timeout the drive apparetly cancels the transaction via. an
IDLE IMMEDATE command.
It is notable that in this case - during the preceding "pause", it
appears as though both the PC and the drive coincedentaly deasert their DMAREADY
lines at the same time. This appears to be a reoccuring pattern for when
thelockup occurs. When the data is subsequently ready after this occurance,
the PC (chipset) never acknowledges it.
