hda irq timeout

[christian.peper at kpn.com]

Thanks, good to know! :)
 
Also, someone said to configure the hald to ignore the cd-rom:

While that would certainly silence the error, I'm not sure if it's a
good solution.
Chris.

	Yes. Dma setting looks like the culprit. The bios seems to set
the hda to "dma" but the kernel ide driver is disabling it.
	 
	David -Could you try enable dma on you hda device using hdparm
and report the results here. Also, is the DVD firmware updated?

	Yes we have that too! Haven't been able to put my finger on this
yet. I reported it to this list:
	
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2008-September/037352
.html
	 
	We're using RHEL AS 4u5 x86_64. Oh and it's unpatched (i.e. not
using el4_u5_patch). I should actually try to bring it upto patch and
see if that fixes it.
	 
	Didn't used to get that error, at least not as often. Lately we
do.
	All I could find was something related to DMA settings and/or
ACPI.
	 
	I've found various reports of this error, always in relation to
RHEL 4u5, 6 or 7.

		Hello,

		 

		We have a 2950 III running Redat AS 4.6 I386.

		 

		Under heavy load we get the following irq timeouts and
ATAPI reset in our syslog. 

		 

		[root at qa2950-1 ~]# dmesg | grep hda

		    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfc00-0xfc07, BIOS settings:
hda:DMA, hdb:pio

		hda: TEAC DVD-ROM DV28EV, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

		hda: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 198kB Cache, UDMA(33)

		hda: DMA disabled

		hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

		hda: irq timeout: error=0x00

		hda: ATAPI reset complete

		hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }

		hda: irq timeout: error=0x00

		hda: ATAPI reset complete

		hda: irq timeout: status=0x

		 

		We have tried disabling hal daemon and have updated all
firmware. I have a case open with Dell but they are not helping much.
Has anyone seen anything like this? 

		 

		Regards,

		David Reta
