Hi, We are working on the IDE/ATAPI for mips. When I changed to Big endian mode, the following information appared, and the program hang. ------------------------------------- Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx PDC20262: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 30 PDC20262: chipset revision 1 PDC20262: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later PDC20262: ROM enabled at 0x06fb0000 PDC20262: (U)DMA Burst Bit DISABLED Primary PCI Mode Secondary PCI Mode. ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf800-0xf807, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf808-0xf80f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL EX10.2A, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0xec00-0xec07,0xe802 on irq 7 hda: 20044080 sectors (10263 MB) w/418KiB Cache, CHS=19885/16/63, (U)DMA Partition check: hda:hda: dma_timer_expiry: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } hda: timeout waiting for DMA ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 ------------------------------------- When I turned off "IDE,ATA and ATAPI Block Devices->Generic PCI bus-master DMA support", there was no problem at all. The following information appared: ------------------------------------ Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx PDC20262: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 30 PDC20262: chipset revision 1 PDC20262: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL EX10.2A, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0xec00-0xec07,0xe802 on irq 7 hda: 20044080 sectors (10263 MB) w/418KiB Cache, CHS=19885/16/63 Partition check: hda: [PTBL] [1247/255/63] hda1 hda2 hda3 ------------------------------------ What could be the cause of this problem?
