Package: kernel-source-2.4.26
Version: 2.4.26-2
Severity: important
------------------------------------------------------------
1) Install Woody base system, and proposed update package
kernel-image-2.4.24-2-386
The system has a
Highpoint RocketRAID 133 PCI card
(firmware 2.35)
controller, which is handled by
hpt366.o
hptraid.o
Booting system uses initrd, and loads modules in this order:
ide-disk
hpt366
ide-detect
hptraid
2) Create RAID1 array in controller's BIOS
with disks:
2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 ST3120026A (3.06 firmware)
(ATA100 devices = working normally in udma5 mode)
/dev/hde
/dev/hdg
which become
/dev/ataraid/d0
whole disk device
------------------------------------------------------------
SYSTEM works fine with this RAID 1 array, but when
we do
# cd
# cat /proc/ide/hpt366
and then e.g.
# pwd
THESE MESSAGES APPEAR:
======================
hdg: DMA disabled
hdg: drive not ready
ide3: reset: success
or
hdg: timeout waiting for DMA
======================
ACTUALLY, IT SEEMS second disk in the array SPINS DOWN
as if going to standby mode.
CONSEQUENCES ARE CATASTROPHIC, system freezes
and if we somehow manage to type a command
(e.g. on the SMP system) like
init 0
it fails, and filesystem gets, so badly damaged
it is practically impossible to repair
------------------------------------------------------------
SEEMS LIKE A KERNEL BUG?
Noticed, the same crash does NOT happen
when using disks in non-RAID mode
# cat /proc/ide/hpt366
does not do any damage.
------------------------------------------------------------
Note: CRASH happens also
with kernel
2.4.26
(kernel-image-2.4.26-1-386 package)
------------------------------------------------------------
HARDWARE:
Abit IC7-G (i875P chipset)

Pentium4 Prescott 3.0 GHz (with or without HyperThreading)

Version: 2.4.27-1
The code in question looks like this in 2.4.27.
Whith this in mind, it seems impossible for the code-path
that caused this bug to be executed, and I am closing it accordingly.
#if 0
if (hpt_minimum_revision(dev, 3)) {
u8 cbl;
cbl = inb(iobase + 0x7b);
outb(cbl | 1, iobase + 0x7b);
outb(cbl & ~1, iobase + 0x7b);
cbl = inb(iobase + 0x7a);
p += sprintf(p, "Cable: ATA-%d"
" ATA-%d\n",
(cbl & 0x02) ? 33 : 66,
(cbl & 0x01) ? 33 : 66);
p += sprintf(p, "\n");
}
