2.2.17 locks up hard on Ultra66/PDC20262 in DMA mode when using ide + raid-A0 + eepro100 patches

Dear Hackers, IDE gods, and promise driver writers:

[1.] One line summary of the problem:
2.2.17 locks up hard on Ultra66/PDC20262 in DMA mode when using ide +
raid-A0 + eepro100 patches

[2.] Full description of the problem/report:

	I'm running 2.2.17 (+ide+raid+eepro100 patches) with "/" on a RAID-5

volume over 4 disks (Seagate barracudas). Two of the disks (hde + hdg) are on a Promise Ultra66 (PDC20262) IDE card with bios 2.00b18. It seems that between 30 minutes and 4 hours of the system running, this happens:

hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: DMA disabled

What do these errors mean?

At this point, the system is locked up very hard. The three finger salute doesn't even work. This has happened three times so far. Sometimes during activity, other times during idle. Actually, it never was *really* idle, since it was always sync'ing the RAID5 array (takes a while to build the parity for 50gb).

Now as far as DMA, temporarily I have disabled the DMA with 'hdparm -d0 /dev/hde'. So far it hasn't crashed with dma disabled, but I'm disappointed to lose that performance. Should I try the 2.2.18pre18 + ide + raid-2 patches? (Last time I tried, before the pre18 came out, I couldn't get the raid-2 mingo patches to apply cleanly).

FYI, here is a 'hdparm -i /dev/hda'

/dev/hde:

UPDATE:

Even with hdparm -d0 /dev/hde (to disable the DMA), I'm still getting:

hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328

But now I don't get the
hde: DMA disabled
error message anymore. But it still locks really hard. Also, I noticed that you can't disable the "Use DMA by default" option in the kernel without losing the "Promise PDC202xx" driver option. So how do I disable DMA in the kernel for this promise card (and the pii4x mb as well)? Because it doesn't seem like hdparm -d0 is helping.

Any other ideas guys?

UPDATE:

Now I have upgraded to 2.2.18pre19 + ide-2.2.18pre18 + raid-2.2.18-A2 + patched eepro100.

Unfortunately, I still get:

hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328
hde: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: dma_intr: error=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=15347359, sector=15347328

after a few minutes/hours of uptime (60-180 minutes). I even tried some SysRq keys and those wouldn't work. (hard lockup). So what do I try from here? I d'nt think there is any way to disable DMA in the hardware (on the Promise anyway). Should I pull out hde and throw in another seagate?

thanks for any ideas.
