Hi, We are using the MIPS custom board based on RM5231A MIPS processor and IT8172 companion chip. The kernel version we are using is 2.4.25. When we connect the maxtor hard disk we are able to do continuous data access, as in playing a movie. But when we connect a samsung or seagate drive we get the dma timer expiry error with the dma staus reg value = 0x61 when the partition check is made initially. Another observation is that the multicount value when we boot the Maxtor is 16 (i guess this is default value) where us when we use samsung or seagate drives it is set to 0. I have also attached the log below. Can you please tell me the reason why the dma is timing out? regards priya -- Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere. --Elrond
