Drvie Corruption CONSTANTLY with Linux and KT7-RAID
Please help.. I'm at the end of my rope with this now. I have rebuilt this system and corupted my drive at least 30 times now. I have a ABIT KT7-RAID and no matter what I do with any kernel 2.2.16 - 2.4.2-ac19 as soon as I turn on DMA mode the drive starts to corrupt and becomes useless. The corruption happens alot faster in 2.4xxx than the 2.2.xxx kernels. The system DOES work flawlessly running windows in DMA mode, which leads me to believe that I am not experiencing a Hardware problem. I have tried every suggestion concerning the via chipset on this site. I've heard of many success stories with this board. what am i doing wrong?!?! At this point I am 100% lost. any help would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to do any testing of the system that anyone may need. Currently I have no working copy of linux on the sytem. My normal process to get running is to install slackware. download 2.4.2 and the latest ac patch. Compile, add ide=reverse to lilo, switch the hd over to the highpoint hpt366 controller and reboot. As soon as I boot corruption begins and drive will be useless within 10 minutes. I have also tried leaving the HD on the VIA82686a controller witht the same results. Also note I have tried IBM & MAXTOR UDMA100 drives as well as IBM & WD UDMA66 Drives. I have tried both 40 & 80 pin cables on the drives. Please cc me in your replies as I am not subscribed to the list.

Progress with drive corruption with KT7-RAID.
When I put the HD on ide2 and do the appropriate changes (ide=reverse) The systemn is more stable. I am getting the following message when moving data around. There seems to be a little corruption of the directory stucture, Specifically in /usr/src/linux which I just used to compile the kernel.

Re: Drive corruption with VIA VT82C686A (ABIT KT7-RAID) - Still -
tried both 2.4.3-pre2 and 2.4.2-ac12. Same results with each. Let me know which reports are most important so I don't post more than necassary. I was able to get lspci -vvxxx, dmesg, hdparm -i, cat/proc/ide/via. I did notice it is detecting a 40w cable even though I am using a 80w. Could that possibly be the problem? Although I have tried switching cables and had the same problem. As soon as the drive has to do any work (hdparm -tT /dev/hda, cp'ing, mv'ing) the system will lock. I can get the drive working after a few fsck's in 2.2.16 but if I were to try booting into 2.4.x and running fsck I will soon get lost inodes and the system will fail to operate.

Although I have tried switching cables and had the same problem. As soon as the drive has to do any work (hdparm -tT /dev/hda, cp'ing, mv'ing) the system will lock. I can get the drive working after a few fsck's in 2.2.16 but if I were to try booting into 2.4.x and running fsck I will soon get lost inodes and the system will fail to operate. Please CC me with responses. I am not subscribed to the list. Thanks Jeff Garzik wrote: If you haven't already, would it be possible for you to try two patches for 2.4.2 (separately)? Linus' latest testing patch, 2.4.3-pre2, is available from ftp://ftp.country-code.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/testing/ Alan Cox's latest patchkit, 2.4.2-ac12, is available from ftp://ftp.country-code.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/alan/2.4/ Both of these, actually, have the potential for solving your problem. It would greatly help, IMHO, if you could try 2.4.3-pre2 and 2.4.2-ac12 and compare the results you see with 2.4.2 kernel.
