Kernel 2.4.17 with VT8367 [KT266] crashes on heavy ide load togeter with heavy network load
I've got one system roughly similar to yours, RAID 5 , but scsi, not ata. The CPU is also a 1400MHz Athlon.
My lspci:
00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8367 [KT266]
00:01.0 PCI bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8367 [KT266 AGP]
00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX [Linksys EtherFast 10/100] (rev 25) 00:0a.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7899A (rev 01)
00:0a.1 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec 7899A (rev 01)
00:0b.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7881U
00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Bridgecom, Inc: Unknown device 0985 (rev 11)
00:11.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233 PCI to ISA Bridge
00:11.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
00:11.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB (rev 18)
00:11.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB (rev 18)
00:11.4 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UHCI USB (rev 18)
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC97 Audio Controller (rev 10) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 PF
It would hang exactly as you described. It's a test system, and things change so fast I never got around to tracking the problem down. However, it's now running 2.4.19-pre4 and hasn't hung for days (since 2.4.19-pre4 was installed).

Hi !
I have problems with PC mainboard using the Via VT8367 [KT266] chipset. lspci shows the configuration:

We use this system for a software Raid 5. If we produce heavy load on the disks and network the system hangs. There is no log of errors at all. We tried to change the network card form a 3com to a rtl83xx. The system remains a litle longer stable but crashes then too. We also tried to have the harddisks on seperate ide channels but this didn't solve the crashs. It seems to be something with the dma, because if we disable the dma of the harddisks the system is stable. Does anybody also recognise this problem ? Is there any solution for this effect ?

Thanks a lot
