Does 6.2 still do this or the 2.2.17pre kernel? No answer in 1.5 years and many IDE fixes done over the time |
I have a bunch of Lite-On IDE CD-ROM drives, model LTN-262A. These drives worked properly with Red Hat Linux 5.2; however, they have caused kernel problems in Red Hat 6.0 and 6.1. In Red Hat 6.1, any significant amount of disk activity will eventually cause the cd-rom to lock up with the drive light staying on. Every ten seconds or so, the kernel will send the following message to the syslog: hda: lost interrupt At this point, I don't know any way to reset the driver, and any process trying to access the cdrom will be stuck forever in uninterruptable sleep. The rest of the kernel, fortunately, does not crash. In Red Hat 6.0, I get the same "hda: lost interrupt" message, but after a short time the entire kernel (system) hangs. The cdrom will lock up much sooner in the SMP kernel than the uniprocessor one, but both will hang eventually. Here is the relevant part of the boot log where the cdrom is detected: PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 91 PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1050-0x1057, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1058-0x105f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio hda: LTN262, ATAPI CDROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: ATAPI 16X CD-ROM drive, 240kB Cache Uniform CDROM driver Revision: 2.56 Here is some information from /proc/ide: /proc/ide/hda/driver: ide-cdrom version 4.54 /proc/ide/hda/identify: 85a0 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 0000 0000 0000 4731 3020 2020 2020 4c54 4e32 3632 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 0000 0000 0f00 0000 0400 0200 0002 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0107 0003 0078 0078 0078 0078 0000 0000 0000 0000 0002 0009 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 2020 2020 2020 2020 3032 3238 4731 3020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 /proc/ide/hda/model: LTN262 /proc/ide/hda/settings: name value min max mode ---- ----- --- --- ---- breada_readahead 4 0 127 rw dsc_overlap 0 0 1 rw file_readahead 124 0 2097151 rw io_32bit 0 0 3 rw keepsettings 0 0 1 rw max_kb_per_request 64 1 127 rw nice1 1 0 1 rw pio_mode write-only 0 255 w slow 0 0 1 rw unmaskirq 0 0 1 rw using_dma 0 0 1 rw /proc/ide/ide0/config: pci bus 00 device 91 vid 8086 did 7111 channel 0 86 80 11 71 05 00 80 02 01 80 01 01 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 51 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 e3 00 c0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 30 0f 00 00 00 00 00 00 Here is the relevant output of lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440GX - 82443GX Host bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440GX - 82443GX AGP bridge 00:12.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:12.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:12.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:12.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) The motherboard is an Intel C440GX+ dual Pentium III motherboard with dual 550Mhz Pentium IIIs. The same crashing behavior was also observed in Red Hat 6.0 on an Intel PR440FX motherboard with dual 200MHz Pentium Pros. The drives worked fine in Red Hat 5.2, so I'm guessing that the newer IDE driver in Linux 2.2 is having problems. I'd be happy to try changing the settings via hdparm, or try a newer kernel if you'd like more information. Thanks, Chris Wing wingc.edu
