| |
Hi folks,
I wonder if playing w/ vanilla 2.4.22 or 2.4.22+ACPI patches can lead to IDE/ext3 fs corruption..
I'm using SuSE 8.1 on my Dell Inspiron 8200, default SuSE 2.4.19-4GB kernel (acpi 20020829). I've compiled 2.4.22 vanilla and 2.4.22 + latest ACPI code + latest ieee1394 (gcc 3.2), and got IDE faults that lead to ext3 corruption when (re)booting to those 2.4.22 kernels, in different ACPI modes (w/ or w/o batteries, power supply).
Here what /var/log/messages shows: kernel: hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } kernel: hda: drive not ready for command This error usually occurs right when booting the a 2.4.22 kernel (vanilla or w/ ACPI patches), and I got broken files and directories sometimes.
I usually use SuSE's 2.4.19 kernel, and never have IDE/ext3 problems. Those past 3 months, I tried twice to compile and use 2.4.22 and each time I got fs corruption.
So I double-checked my drive for broken sectors, also did 4-hour long memory check: nothing bad has been found. I've also upgraded to modutils 2.4.26.
That's why I'm trying to figure out what element (kernel, acpi, ieee1394, SuSE stuff, Dell hardware/BIOS) is leading to such IDE errors and to fs data loss.
Any thought about such problems or maybe how to investigate? Did anyone experienced such problems w/ ACPI, Dell hardware or fresh 2.4.22 kernel?
