Hello, Running the 2.6.22-rc2 kernel on a system with: nVidia Corporation CK804 Serial ATA Controller (rev f3) HITACHI HDS7250S K2AO Is it possible that this drive/firmware doen't handle AMDA mode correctly? We are seeing the following errors: =========portion of dmesg============== Error handler scsi_eh_0 waking up ata1: EH in ADMA mode, notifier 0x0 notifier_error 0x0 gen_ctl 0x1501000 status 0x400 next cpb count 0x2 next cpb idx 0x0 ata1: CPB 0: ctl_flags 0x1f, resp_flags 0x2 ata1: CPB 1: ctl_flags 0x1f, resp_flags 0x2 . . . ata1: CPB 17: ctl_flags 0x1f, resp_flags 0x0 ata1: timeout waiting for ADMA IDLE, stat=0x400 ata1: timeout waiting for ADMA LEGACY, stat=0x400 ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x3ffff SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen ata1.00: cmd 61/e8:00:25:b3:9f/01:00:01:00:00/40 tag 0 cdb 0x0 data 249856 out res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) . . . ata1.00: cmd 60/80:88:ed:16:7e/00:00:01:00:00/40 tag 17 cdb 0x0 data 65536 in res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) ata1: soft resetting port ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata1.00: ata_hpa_resize 1: sectors = 976773168, hpa_sectors = 976773168 ata1.00: ata_hpa_resize 1: sectors = 976773168, hpa_sectors = 976773168 ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 scsi_eh_0: flush retry cmd: ffff81010c5b1380 . . . ata1: EH complete scsi_restart_operations: waking up host to restart Error handler scsi_eh_0 sleeping ===================================== Thanks, David - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
