Hi list,
I have an old AMD k6-2 Machine with disks.
hda ==> Hard Drive hdc ==> CD Drive
Now when the system is running,I get messages saying
"hda: waiting for DMA "
And the system goes bonkers. (0x0040)
Recommended acoustic management value: 128, current
value: 128
DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 *udma2 udma3 udma4
udma5
Do not use DMA on that drive if it gives errors. Use hdparm to turn it off at system startup. Obviously it would be slow.
And think of replacing it if you want to preserve the data. When DMA starts giving errors, the drive goes bad sooner or later...
HTH
