disk error "no DRQ after issuing WRITE"
Hi Everyone,
I have just installed Potato on an old P233. I put it
on a new 17GB UDMA drive (Seagate), which the bios
does not recognize correctly. It works fine with
kernel 2.2.17, but I get the following message from
time to time:
hda: status timeout: state=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
ide0: reset: success
normally when I am doing some intensive disk access
(like updatedb, for example). If I boot from a floppy
with kernel 2.0.36, this does not happen.
Any information at all would be helpful, but my
specific question is this - Is this a problem with the
2.2.17 kernel, working with an old bios/motherboard (I
also installed the 2.2.17 kernel patched for UDMA
disks, but this has not helped...)? Is this some type
of disk failure that the 2.0.36 kernel does not
report, but that the new kernel does? Is there a way
to deal with this in software, or should I think about
returning the hard drive?
Many Thanks,
JP
