Repost to linux-ide so I've quoted the entire message. (please cc me in replies: lkml at dgreaves.com)

Summary:
PDC20286 fails horribly with 2 UDMA drives on its primary channel If I move one drive to the second channel it seems OK.

I have compiled with and without "DMA on by default".
I've also used the autotune options (and ata66)
I looked for the most conservative config I could find before posting (well, I thought I did) :)

ok...
I tried again with:
* DMA on by default (IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO) (done a partial config dump later...)
* removed noapic and used both autotune options (not tried before) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.0-test9 ro root=/dev/hdc3 ide2=autotune
ide3=autotune single

Result:
same problem with this dmesg (text continues after this dmesg dump) /##########//##########//##########//##########//##########//##########

You asked why are both drives on one channel - I only had one 80-strand cable to hand!
Also one drive is mounted rw and used - the other is ro and contains rsync snapshots so is only used in the wee small hours. ...but I dug another cable from another machine and tried that.
The disks were jumpered "master w/ slave" and "slave"
I moved them both to "master w/ slave" and the BIOS didn't recognise them
I jumpered them both as "single master" and the BIOS saw them.

***I rebooted the same kernel/params and it worked.***

For the hell of it I tried it without the autotune parameters and it was still fine... It looks like something doesn't work with 2 drives on 1 channel.

Also does this help?

Hi,

Can you try "ide2=autotune ide3=autotune" boot parameters?

Promise driver is not autotuning PIO modes by default (will be fixed soon, needs some more testing). You are hitting it only in 2.6.0-t9 because you've compiled kernel without "DMA on by default" (guess based on your dmesg), plus in 2.4.18 you are passing "ide2=autotune" parameter.

Off-topic: you have two drives on the first channel, second channel is free. Why not move one of drives to the second channel?

Please post ide bugreports on linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx next time.

thanks,
--bartlomiej

#1 lore raw

Hi Bart
I've downloaded (but not yet tried) -test10 but as you said elsewhere, there are no patches that seem to touch the area I had a problem with.

Do you think my problem is likely to be touched by -test11? Are there any other patches you'd like me to try?

BTW this list is now on

I don't think vger keeps copies of older messages, but if you know of anywhere I can find 'em I'd be happy to bulk-add them to our archives.

I figured you may have them/some?

Summary:
PDC20286 fails horribly with 2 UDMA drives on its primary channel If I move one drive to the second channel it seems OK.

I have compiled with and without "DMA on by default".
I've also used the autotune options (and ata66)
I looked for the most conservative config I could find before posting (well, I thought I did) :)

ok...
I tried again with:
* DMA on by default (IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO) (done a partial config dump later...)
* removed noapic and used both autotune options (not tried before) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.0-test9 ro root=/dev/hdc3 ide2=autotune
ide3=autotune single

Result:
same problem
