This happened to me when I tried to read more than 8 megabytes of data from ATA Flash inthe same time by using e.g. dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null count=17000 The problem has gone after upgrading to the Montavista kernel (from their CDK 1.0) However, I have no idea what caused the problem and whether it has been fixed. By the way, I found a newer kernel (March, 23) in ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/CDK/updates/1.0/ppc_8xx/SRPMS/ I haven't tested it yet. Pavel Roskin ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
