hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

Hello,

i try to install Redhat Linux 7.1 on a EPSON IM-515.
It works except some problems with the IDE Controller.
ALI Alladin IV+ /1531/1543.
How can we use DMA ?
Try's with ide=nodma results in sporadic traps.

Hi,

There are 2 reason why you see the message.

1) Hardware Problem.

2) IDE driver problem.

I used 440bx mother board with Linux. When I installed RH7.1 on the system, I saw similar message s. But after I update to the kernel, the message disappeared.

So my recommendation is,
a) update kernel from RPM.
(Easy, but up to 2.4.9)

b) update kernel from source
(difficult, but up to 2.4.19)

c) Check your HD.

Good luck

Now with the new kernel from redhat updates 7.1! i get this
( RH 7.2 ! and the partition names):

Hello again,

Thanks for your dmesg post.

Check http://hale.org/~bhoward/issue_7/pcg-c1mrx.html

This is known kernel problem, not hardware problem.

Some other post tells that 2.4.19-pre4-ac2 include the fix.
I am not sure the fix is in the official 2.4.19 kernel.

Good luck

If we use
ide=nodma idebus=66
then we got no error.
I try to connect ALI support and EPSON support.
