Package: kernel-image-2.6.7-1-k7 Version: 2.6.7-2 Severity: normal Hello,
I am experiencing machine hangs under severe ide-activity, e.g "hdparm -t" with this kernel version. The version 2.6.7-k7-smp works fine. It seems to be exactly the problem described here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2552 I have an EPOX 8RDA3+ Board with an AMD Barton XP 2600. However, according to the 2.6.6 Changelog this problem should have been solved in 2.6.6 although in 2.6.7 there was another change: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [PATCH] apply nForce2 fixup only if C1 Halt Disconnect is enabled Maybe this is the problem, there is no kernel message whether the nforce fixup was enabled, neither with the k7 nor with the k7-smp, with both messages I only get: $ dmesg | grep -i nforce NFORCE2: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:09.0 NFORCE2: chipset revision 162 NFORCE2: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later NFORCE2: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround. NFORCE2: 0000:00:09.0 (rev a2) UDMA133 controller forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.25. ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.0: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: nVidia Corporation nForce2 USB Controller (#2) Thus as a workaround I am using the SMP kernel.
