timeout waiting for DMA

["Michael P. Soulier" <msoulier@storm.ca>]

    Hey people. 

    I'm trying to enable DMA on my wife's harddrive. Here's some info.

poohbear:/proc# hdparm -i /dev/hda
 
/dev/hda:
 
 Model=FUJITSU MPF3102AT, FwRev=0031, SerialNo=05601857
 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs }
 RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4
 BuffType=0(?), BuffSize=512kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=16
 DblWordIO=no, OldPIO=2, DMA=yes, OldDMA=2
 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=20015856
 tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: mword0 mword1 mword2
 IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4
 UDMA modes: mode0 mode1 mode2 mode3 *mode4

    Now, when I try to enable DMA...

poohbear:/proc# hdparm -d1 -X34 /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 setting xfermode to 34 (multiword DMA mode2)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)

    I get this in the syslog:

May  5 07:17:16 poohbear kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA
May  5 07:17:16 poohbear kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady
SeekComplete DataRequest }
May  5 07:17:16 poohbear kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
May  5 07:17:16 poohbear kernel: hda: DMA disabled
May  5 07:17:16 poohbear kernel: hda: drive not ready for command
May  5 07:17:17 poohbear kernel: ide0: reset: success

    Any ideas on this? Could this also be related to why I can't get her sound
to work?

    Thanks, I'd love to get this working for her.

    Mike
