Hi

Is your PCI bus overclocked ?

[gentoo-user] Faulty IDE ribbon?

[Mick]

Hi All,

Just checking before I buy a new ribbon, that there is nothing more sinister
happening with my secondary IDE controller.  Suddenly and with no activity
on my secondary IDE controller there's a noise as if my /dev/hdc (8G ATA
drive) and /dev/hdd (CDWR) are reinitialised - i.e. the mechanical noises
usually observed when the machine is switched on and the BIOS probes the
devices on booting.

Both devices are not mounted and there is no media in the CDWR.  This is
what dmesg shows:
=================
hdc: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61
hdc: DMA timeout error
hdc: dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hdc: task_in_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: task_in_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

[...snip]
hdd: DMA disabled
ide1: reset: success
hdc: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
hdc: DMA timeout error
hdc: dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
hdc: DMA timeout error
hdc: dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
hdc: DMA timeout error
hdc: dma timeout error: status=0x80 { Busy }

ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: DMA disabled
ide1: reset: success
hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdd: ATAPI reset complete
hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdd: ATAPI reset complete
hdd: status error: status=0x00 { }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hdc: drive_cmd: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: drive_cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
ide: failed opcode was: 0xef
=================

The noises and error codes are randomly generated over time.

This is the hdparm outputs:
=================
# hdparm /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
 multcount    = 32 (on)
 IO_support   =  1 (32-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  1 (on)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 geometry     = 16676/16/63, sectors = 8606545920, start = 0

# hdparm /dev/hdd

/dev/hdd:
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  0 (off)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
=================
I thought that the CDRW DMA ought to be switched on?

Any advice appreciated.

I had the same problem! As it turned out it was the ribbon that caused 
these weird kernel messages and the noise during the start of the 
system. So yes, replacing the ribbon would probably make these 
symptoms disappear.

Thanks Frank!  New ribbon is on order now.
