Re: 2.6 more picky about IDE drives than 2.4 ?

2005-01-23 Thread Sven Köhler
i have many problems with kernel 2.6.10 since it won't run stable with an IDE-device. It's an internal IDE-RAID subsystem. The DMA is frequently disabled, and even writes/reads fail and the kernel reports I/O-Errors for many sectors. The RAID-device doesn't report any errors it it's own event-log.
