Alan and Jeff, I didn't receive your reply till now. I'm not sure you are
still intrested on this issue. If you would like to get more information,
pls let me know.
I tested it for almost one day and found same issue on 100GB and 60GB
disk. So I have to think about interrupt lost inside i8259. Then I changed
code of i8259 for several time and tested it and unfortunately same issue
was there. I don't have good ideas now. If you would like, I can show you
the code about i8259 interrupt handling.
The suspecting point of mine on i8259 is: when multiple interrupts are asserted
on slave controller. Non-specific EOI will clear all pending interrupts or just
clear that one in ISR?
Gavin
