Alpha Miata IDE disk problem
Hi all,
I have a MIATA PWS 500a with a custom Woody installation updated to SID,
SRM boot. Debian is installed on a 20G 7200 rpms IDE disk.
hdparm -t with a 2.2.x kernel reports a transfer rate of 1.3 MB/s
hdparm -t with a custom compiled 2.4.26 reports a transfer rate of 13 MB/s.
Ten times the 2.2.x transfer rate. Comparable to the transfer rate of the SCSI
disk connected to the Qlogic 1020 card.
All looks ok, dmesg, lspci, hardware detection (I get some depmod error,
see dmesg, but they looks benign).
BUT I get strange filesystem (ext2) corruptions only with the 2.4.26 kernel.
Untarring the kernel sources I can see random binary data in the sources.
I also tried a 2.6.4 kernel but the filesystem corruption was so bad I had to
wipe the disk.
The kernel reports that the disk (dkb0 in SRM lingo) is in mdma2 mode.
I also read that UDMA is out of question.
What could I try to fix this problem ?
Thank you all, getting to this point has been fun.
Fabio
