The hdparm triggers the error but is not the cause. hdparm accesses /dev/hdb which is my cd-r drive. This triggers the loading of the cdrom and ide-cd modules. Manually loading cdrom succeeds, after which, manually loading ide-cd crashes the system. No need to even open() the device. This works fine with the VIA driver from 2.2.19pre14+ide-2.2.18-1221.

Well, in my opinion it was always a potentially dangerous option and so it remains. I'll update the VIA driver to make sure its not dangerous at least with it anymore. Scenario: 1) AutoDMA not enabled 2) VIA sets PIO mode on boot 3) User enables DMA -> IDE driver starts using dma 4) But VIA is still set to PIO mode I'll have to make the VIA driver check when IDE dma is enabled, test whether the chipset was already programmed for it and program the chipset for it if needed. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

The CPU is not overclocked so the PCI clock should be 33MHZ but that's probably not related.

Ok, can I still use -u1 -k1 -c1 on the drives or is it even necessary anymore. If you enable automatic DMA in the kernel config, it isn't necessary at all. The VIA driver sets up everything. Is the deprecation of -d1 VIA IDE specific or does it apply to the entire subsystem. Well, in my opinion it was always a potentially dangerous option and so it remains. I'll update the VIA driver to make sure its not dangerous at least with it anymore. Scenario: 1) AutoDMA not enabled 2) VIA sets PIO mode on boot 3) User enables DMA - IDE driver starts using dma 4) But VIA is still set to PIO mode I'll have to make the VIA driver check when IDE dma is enabled, test whether the chipset was already programmed for it and program the chipset for it if needed. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
