It might work day or two fine with DMA mode on but then system halts on those dma timeout problems. hardware is: atapci0@pci2:5:0: class=3D0x018085 card=3D0x4d68105a chip=3D0x4d69105= a rev=3D0x02 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Promise Technology Inc' device =3D 'PDC20269 Ultra133 TX2 EIDE Controller' class =3D mass storage and PDC20269 is on supported list (5.4-RELEASE). and has one 160GB drive in it. When I first got this problem I tried change cable, changed drive to another similar one and moved drive to different place on card. No help. Now it has been running on PIO mode about a year without any problems at all. So I wonder if there actually is some problem in ata drivers and is there maybe any fixes on those drivers in new releases? So would upgrade to 5.5 o= r 6.1 help on this? upgrade from 5.3 to 5.4 didn't help... I can actually run it on PIO-mode but sometimes DMA could give little more speed so if you would be cool if I can get it work with DMA mode on. -- kpn @ IRCnet
