From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I'm attempting to use 3 HDs under software raid0. My Maxtor 40GB HD is attached to the ATA66 onboard controller on my K7V motherboard, and my two 20GB IBM HDs are attached to the secondary Promise controller (PDC20268 - ATA100). If I create a raid0 configuration consisting only of my two IBM HDs everything is fine. When using all 3 HDs the kernel locks up so tightly that even Alt+SysRq+T does not respond. I have researched the problem for a couple weeks and the only work-around I have found is using ide=nodma which is not a very desirable solution. I will be glad to add additional info if it is needed. Just let me know. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.20-18.9 and 2.6.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. The problem should be reproducable by using a primary and secondary IDE controller under software raid0. 2.Run bonnie++ 3. Actual Results: I have to reboot Expected Results: Bonnie++ should have run to completion. Additional info:

I have the same problem with 2 Promise cards, with 1 Promise card and a HPT302, with 4 disks. Common features of this bug appear to be Promise hardware with more than 1 channel in use at the same time and pdc20269_new driver. Additionally, I only had problems during write operations, reading from the array worked fine.
