I'm experiencing timeouts with libata when reading from a compact
flash card connected to onboard IDE. Reproducible with 2.6.20, 2.6.22,
2.6.23-rc1, with both short cable and a on-mobo CF socket on a x86-64
Core2Duo.
Sometimes (~7%), we see some EH and the interface stablises, then the
system continues to work as expected [1] (35MB/s DMA from the CF), but
most of the time, it goes nowhere [2].
When running with legacy ATA support, the system consistently works
fine (but without DMA). CF [3] and controller [4] info supplied.
I'll grab kernel logs from the legacy ATA boot; what else can help
debug this issue? No problem testing patches too.
Daniel
