Description of problem: System hangs with UDMA failure with HPT366 and IBM Deskstar Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.20-13.7 How reproducible: After every boot. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kernel-2.4.20-13.7 2. Boot the new kernel 3. System hangs with UDMA failure during boot. Actual results: System hangs. Expected results: System boots. Additional info:
Which kernel were you using before that works ? Also does booting with ide=nodma work (this will make it slow but mean we can then do some other tests)
We were using kernel 2.4.18-27.7.x and it worked perfectly. I cannot test ide=nodma now, because it is our produsction machine situated at our hosting provider. I will provide this information later.
Ok if 18.27 fixed it then I know what problem it was and I'll close the bug.
If nobody else encounters this bug. It is probably not a bug. Only hardware problem. The disk is out of order forever. The new disk is not IBM Deskstar so I cannot test it any more. Sorry for your time.
Thanks for filing the bug. If someone else finds this bug and has the same problem - please reopen it
