I would like to confirm this: I see similar problem with my Asus A7V333 motheboard. Unfortunately, I have learnt it the hard way: most of the data on the hard disk was lost. This is still not fixed in 2.4.18-10. see the same bug reported as #67366. The drive giving the error is also a ATA133 MAXTOR_6L040J2 on a ASUS_A7V333 mobo. http://www.maxtor.com/en/documentation/data_sheets/diamondmax_D740X_datasheet.pdf I have the same problem, Asus A7V333 motherboard, 80GB WD. Very annoying. Arjan, are you aware of James Ralston's fix here? http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/qralston/dev/ I'd love to see this fixed for RHL 8.0 Thanks, Jesper Duh! The URL was already in the original comment. Never mind. I reported this originally on 8-14-02. Since then RH has released 2.4.18-10. At what point can we expect this to be fixed??? Do I need to downgrade from -10 to -5 and add the patch to get this to work or can we expect 7.3 to properly support this soon??? There are quite a few motherboards out there with the VT8233A South Bridge. Your product does not support this at this time. What is a reasonable date to expect this support? Thanks Seth OK. Update.... 2.4.18-10 now has a patch available from James Ralston @ http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/qralston/dev/ Also: This has been fixed in Red Hat 8.0 and works correctly on the Gigabyte GA-7VRXP motherboard with XP2200+ processors, DDR266 CL 2.0 Memory, and a maxtor 40GB ATA-133 7200 RPM disk connected as /dev/hda (We have tested this on 5 units for 5 days without any problems) It would have been nice to have been informed that 8.0 fully supports the 8233A in the 2.4.18-14 kernel. |
Description of Problem: IDE driver fails to recognize UDMA133 controller and gives muliple errors of: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } ............ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.18-5 How Reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install ISO 7.3 (2.4.18-3 kernel does not recognize IDE controller) 2. upgrade to 2.4.18-5 via up2date, 3. reboot -> 2.4.18-5 kernel Actual Results: Systems boots but gets numerous error messages as listed above Expected Results: Should come up and run UDMA-133 disks without errors Additional Information: Running Gigabyte GA-7VRXP motherboard with AMD XP2100+, 1 GB DRAM, 40 GB Maxtor UDMA-133 disk, CDROM, Floppy, ATI Xpert 98 Graphics card, Netgear FA310TX 2nd ethernet NIC. Fixed the problem by using the patch at http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/qralston/dev/. This works and produces an RPM that is installable to fix the problem. Redhat needs to add these changes to the next release to handle this issue.
