2.4.19-pre8-ac5 ide & raid0 bugs
Hi,
I wrote about ide problems with 2.4.19-pre8 a few days ago (it just trashed filesystem in a couple hours) & I was told to try 2.4.19-pre8-ac5 it was a little bit better though every 5-8 hours I've got ide errors in log (at least it didn't crash my reiserfs volumes yet):

I don't even think about trying 2.4.19-pre9 since it doesn't has any ide related issues in its changelist.
The question is -- What I have to try to get WORKING ide driver under "STABLE" kernel?
Hi,
Yes, I'm using lvm 1.1rc1 on top of raid0. Hardware details:
dual piii box on via Apollo pro133 chipset (via694)
two ATA-100 drives (FUJITSU MPG3204AH) attached to on-board controller (PROMISE 20265)
& one drive attached to VIA controller. RAID0 is made on top of first two drives.
1. I don't have any problem with drive attached to via controller (in DMA33 mode)
2. The only problem that I have is with UDMA100 drives attached to promise controller... Also I have to notice that log messages about ide errors are related to drive that has no errors (according to smartctl -l, while another drive has a few records in its log)
3. I had no problems with ide with 2.4.7 kernel for a months...

This is a request for a 4K block that is not 4K aligned... this shouldn't happen.
Are you using LVM or something to partition the raid0 array? ... though I seem to recall that LVM always partitions in multiples of 4K so that shouldn't be a problem.

I see a lot of the 0x58 with taskfile enabled, are you doing that? I even see it mounting an "IDE" compact flash! I ran out of time to try w/o taskfile_io.

Because there is an entire set of new calls to deal with cfa or flash. It really takes a new subdriver.

Could you clarifiy that to either (a) "the kernel is now broken completely for CF," (b) "use the non-kernel 3.1.33 pcmcia," or (c) "use XXX." It's not clear to me if you are stating that CF no longer works at all, not longer works with taskfile, no longer works but pcmcia separate modules do, or that I need some other software "new subdriver" not in the kernel or pcmcia package.
I'm not matching any of those to uni laptops working with kernel plus OLD pcmcia support for pcmcia in kernel, and SMP not working with any combination of recent kernel (plain, -jam, -ac, -aa, with patches, etc) and any pcmcia.

Basically the driver has never properly supported CFA/Flash. There are translation calls to decode various events.
It is kind of like ide-scsi or ide-cd for DVD-RAM, both will work but clearly it is best operate in native interfaces.
In short I need to get around to creating an ide-cfa.c subdriver.
