Hello
please put me in CC
I'm using a pdc20262 promise utra66 controller to manage 4 HD's, all 30GB and I put them in a software /dev/md/0 raid5 configuration
recently I upgraded my kernel to linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 and also linux-2.6.11-gentoo-r5 and the raid array would go offline with dma timeouts when putting load to it
Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen hde: DMA timeout error Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen hde: dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen ide: failed opcode was: unknown Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen hdh: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x62 Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen hdh: DMA timeout error Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen hdh: dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen ide: failed opcode was: unknown Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen hdg: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen ide: failed opcode was: unknown Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen hdg: DMA disabled Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen PDC202XX: Secondary channel reset. Apr 9 23:30:15 vennen PDC202XX: Primary channel reset.
in the beginning it was only with hde, so I suspected the disk, put it on another controller, run a complete diskcheck on it (maxtor dos tool), no problems found. I attach it to the onboard motherboard controller and put it back in the raid array but again the raid array would fail, this time another disk.
If I boot again, and reinitialize the array, so that it starts building again, it would fail quite fast when not putting any load on the array it would just run fine
since I had installed the whole system from scratch I didn't know the exact version of the previous kernel, so I went back to linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r33, an here everything works I also remember trying some more recent 2.4 kernel, but I do not recall the exact version, there the same problem would manifest.
after some googling I found this thread: PDC202XX_OLD broken http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0412.0/1277.html
this is almost the exact same behaviour but in the thread it does not say if his problem is solved or not the suggestion of Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz is present in my 2.6 kernel images
same info is at http://users.pandora.be/gemma.joram/pdc202xx/pdc202xx.html I also have sysinfo http://users.pandora.be/gemma.joram/pdc202xx/pdc202xx_sysinfo.html and log http://users.pandora.be/gemma.joram/pdc202xx/pdc202xx_log.html
hope this is enough. I'l happily try more if you need more info.
greetings joram
