Hi all,
I get repeatable erros when accessing a 1GB SimpleTech CF Flash Card (SLCF1GBJ).
I tested on three different systems (i86, arm, ppc) with three different
kernel versions (2.6.13, 2.6.14, 2.4.20). On ARM and PPC I tested pcmcia
mode _and_ TrueATA mode. Other, smaller (!) CF Cards are working fine.
So here we go:
~ # hdparm -i /dev/hda
Model=STI Flash 7.0.0, FwRev=05/03/04, SerialNo=STI J107004201112846
Config={ HardSect NotMFM Removeable DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
RawCHS=2006/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4
BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=1, MultSect=off
CurCHS=2006/16/63, CurSects=2022048, LBA=yes, LBAsects=2022048
IORDY=no, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}
PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
AdvancedPM=no WriteCache=enabled
When doing "mke2fs /dev/hda1" after 30 seconds I get
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
ide0: reset: master: error (0x00?)
and then after a long time loads of
end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 786495
Buffer I/O error on device hda1, logical block 786432
lost page write due to I/O error on hda1
messages.
Has anyone else seen this before? Is it related to the size of the CF card?
The smaller, working cards use
CurCHS=980/8/32, CurSects=250880, LBA=yes, LBAsects=250880
CurCHS=980/16/32, CurSects=501760, LBA=yes, LBAsects=501760
Thanks a million!
