I have a problem in Mandrake 7.2. Whenever I enable DMA access to my to
my harddisk my computer hangs and I see the following messages in the
message log:
kernel: hda: timout waiting for DMA
kernel: ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }
Enventually, DMA is disabled. I'm seeing this problem with the
production 2.2.17-21mdk kernel, my recompiled 2.2.17-21mdk kernel, and
the 2.2.18-14mdk kernel. I had previously used Mandrake 7.0 on this
same computer and was able to get DMA access to work by getting the
2.2.13 kernel source from kernel.org and adding the backported ide patch
to the kernel. My desktop computer also runs Mandrake 7.2 and has DMA
access enabled. The computer with problems is a Dell Latitude XPi CD
(Pentium 166 MMX) (No laughing please) with 80 MBytes of memory and a 2
GByte IBM disk drive. The chipset is identified as CMD643. Any and all
suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Arnold
