From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: During booting aprox 5 min pause between "Enabling swap space" and "/dev/hdc: setting using_dma to 0 (off), using_dma = 0 (off)" (RH service personnel suggested to turn off dma access for hdc in rc.sysinit). dmesg shows lots of "hdc: lost interrupt" and "hdd: lost interrupt". cdrom and cdrom1 are registered in fstab. mount /mnt/cdrom1 and mount /mnt/cdrom takes a very long time (~5 min). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel 2.4.7-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn on PC 2. Boot with lilo: linux hdc=cdrom ide1=nodma 3. Wait, wait, wait after "Enabling swap space" Actual Results: Nothing for a long time Expected Results: Should properly communicate with hdc (master) and hdd (slave) both on secondary ide (ide1) Additional info: mount /mnt/cdrom takes a long time.

Ok can you do one of the following: 1) add "ide=nodma" (without the quotes) the the "vmlinuz" line in /boot/grub/grub.conf or 2) type "e" in the first grub screen and edit the vmlinuz line there
Created attachment 43196 [details] dmesg output after mounting cd-rom
Dear arjanv Thank you for your response. I am using lilo (that's what I set during installation), so I enter linux ide=nodma at lilo prompt. Booting runs fine, no major breaks. dmesg shows that dma is prevented. All 4 IDE devices are on pio (don't know which mode). lsmod: ide-cd and cdrom modules are not loaded. I insert CD into hdc cd-rom and mount /mnt/cdrom. Mounting takes about 5 min. dmesg shows lots of "hdc: lost interrupt" and "hdd: lost interrupt" lsmod: ide-cd and cdrom modules are loaded. ls /mnt/cdrom lists files on CD. I repeat with cdrom1. It also takes about 5 min to mount. Please also check the attached dmesg.output1 file above. I hope this helps. With kind regards Beat
Any news? With kind regards Beat
Dear Reader I reinstalled RH 6.2 and there were no problems with my cd-roms and hdds. Installation is fine, booting is fine, and mounting is fine. I also experimented with several hdd and cd-rom configurations (i.e. using only one hdd and the plain- vanilla cd-rom and other configurations). No problems at all. I then reinstalled RH 7.2 using only 1 hdd on the primary ide and 1 plain- vanilla cd-rom on the secondary ide. Installation was fine, booting was fine. However, mounting the cd-rom is still a big problem - it takes about 5 min and generates lots of "hdc: lost interrupt" messages. Additionally I observed that a few "unresolved dependencies" were generated when Linux tried to load the ide-cd and cdrom modules prior to mounting. More accurately I have reasons to believe that those "unresolved dependencies" are related to loading the ide-cd module. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. With kind regards Beat
Does ide=nodma work on the lilo prompt ? (or if you installed grub, add ide=nodma to the vmlinuz line in /boot/grub/grub.conf)
Dear Arjanv I would appreciate if you were to read my responses to your e-mails! NO, ide=nodma doesn't improve anything. See more comments above. With kind regards Beat

My two hdds are on ide0, and my two cd-roms are on ide1. Adding the kernel argument ide=nodma has the effect that is sets ide0 and ide1 to pio instead of dma. If I do not add that argument, the kernel seems to take the settings from the bios and set ide0 (hda and hdb) to dma and ide1 (hdc and hdd) to pio. Which is what we want, isn't it? Do I need to set the PCI bus speed for the pio modes, or do I need to set the pio mode specifically? If yes, how do I do that? With kind regards Beat
As I mentioned above I omitted the ide=nodma kernel argument. During shutdown I get ide_dmaproc. chipset supported ide_dma_timeout function only: 14 error msg. Any idea what this means? With kind regards Beat
Hi, I am also having problems with my cdrom and cd-rw drives. My config is as follows: Intel PII 233 Mhz with 256 Mb ram. Red Hat Linux 7.1 (Seawolf) Kernel 2.4.2-2 #1 CD-ROM: NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:288 and the driver is ide-cdrom version 4.59 CD-Recordable/rewritable: LG CD-RW CED-8080B and the driver is ide-cdrom version 4.59 Hard Drive: FUJITSU MPA3043ATU I cannot get either of the cdrom drives to mount under Linux (when I issue the mount command, the command hangs). Also, my NEC CDROM drive every few seconds has the access light on the drive light up (even though there is no CD in the drive). When the mount command finally returns (after several minues) I sometimes get the message "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems" In /var/log/messages I can see the following errors: LINUX Kernel: hdc: lost interrrupt LINUX Kernel: hdd: lost interrrupt LINUX Kernel: cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize! Again, on the last message there is no CD in the drive bay!!! I have booted the system with MS-DOS and the CD's work fine. Also, I have used Norton Ghost to write to the CD-RW drive (backing up the Linux ext2 hard drive - although Norton Ghost fails when switching to a second CD with "Malloc failure: SpanHeader" but I think this may be more to do with Norton Ghost than the drive... Symantec told me that Norton Ghost does not support Redhat 7.1 only 6.2!!! I am surprised as I thought ext2 support would mean ext2 support and not specific to any release). Anyway, sorry I digressed. As it stands at the moment, I can't play music CD's, read data CD's or backup my system using the CD-RW drive. I wondered if you could explain what these errors mean, is there a cure and really any help at all would be appreciated as I have been battling with this problem for weeks with no success. One of my biggest worries is that I can't get a full backup of my hard drive or even create incrementals to secure my files. Yours extremely hopefully John

By the way, I hate to sound pushy but is this problem likely to take a long time to fix (weeks / months /years) and if so can you recommend a version of Linux that I can install which does not have this problem??? As I mentioned earlier, I cant even use the CDROM drives to install rpm packages from CD and I can't take backups which means that anything I create I could potentially lose which would be devastating... Hope to hear from you soon.. Thanks John
Any progress on my added comments???

Hope the following may be of use too: cat /proc/ide/piix Intel PIIX4 Ultra 33 Chipset. --------------- Primary Channel ---------------- Secondary Channel ------------- enabled enabled --------------- drive0 --------- drive1 -------- drive0 ---------- drive1 ------ DMA enabled: yes no yes yes UDMA enabled: yes no no no UDMA enabled: 2 X X X UDMA DMA PIO cat /proc/ide/ide1/channel 1 cat /proc/ide/ide1/config pci bus 00 device 39 vid 8086 did 7111 channel 1 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 f1 fc 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 07 a3 77 e3 38 00 00 00 01 00 02 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 28 0f 00 00 00 00 00 00 cat /proc/ide/ide1/mate ide0 cat /proc/ide/ide1/model pci cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/media cdrom cat /proc/ide/ide1/model NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:288 cat /proc/ide/ide1/settings name value min max mode ---- ----- --- --- ---- breada_readahead 4 0 127 rw current_speed 34 0 69 rw dsc_overlap 1 0 1 rw file_readahead 0 0 2097151 rw ide_scsi 0 0 1 rw init_speed 34 0 69 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 number 2 0 3 rw pio_mode write-only 0 255 w slow 0 0 1 rw unmaskirq 0 0 1 rw using_dma 1 0 1 rw cat /proc/ide/ide1/capacity 769612 cat /proc/ide/ide1/driver ide-cdrom version 4.59 cat /proc/ide/ide1/identify 8580 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 0000 0080 0000 332e 3035 2020 2020 4e45 4320 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 4344 2d52 4f4d 2044 5249 5645 3a32 3838 2020 2020 0000 0000 0b00 0000 0200 0200 0002 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0007 0407 0003 0078 0078 0078 0078 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 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 /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by ppp_async 6704 1 (autoclean) ppp_generic 17136 4 (autoclean) [ppp_async] ide-cd 26848 1 (autoclean) cdrom 27232 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] autofs 11264 1 (autoclean) ne2k-pci 5088 1 (autoclean) 8390 6816 0 (autoclean) [ne2k-pci] ipchains 38976 0 (unused) sb 7856 1 sb_lib 36016 0 [sb] uart401 6768 0 [sb_lib] sound 62688 1 [sb_lib uart401] soundcore 4464 5 [sb_lib sound] usb-uhci 20720 0 (unused) usbcore 49664 1 [usb-uhci] /sbin/hdparm /dev/hdc /dev/hdc: HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT failed: Invalid argument I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) HDIO_GET_NOWERR failed: Invalid argument readonly = 1 (on) readahead = 8 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument Places where hdparm is used in /etc: grep --directories=recurse hdparm /etc/ /etc/sysconfig/harddisks:# read the hdparm man page for more information /etc/sysconfig/harddisks:# See the hdparm manpage (man hdparm) for details and more options. /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmscript: # unless they're set to 100% failsafe settings with hdparm. /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmscript: hdparm $HDPARM_AT_SUSPEND $DRIVE /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmscript: hdparm -q -S0 $DRIVE /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/apmscript: hdparm $HDPARM_AT_RESUME $DRIVE /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:# after installing the hdparm-RPM.

A courtesy email would be nice just so I know that I am not talking to myself here!!!
