S=F8ren,

It looks like I spoke to soon when I said the world was safe for
Promise Ultra users:

ad3: ad_timeout: lost disk contact - resetting
ata4: resetting devices .. ad3: HARD WRITE ERROR blk# 6594768ad3: DMA p=
roblem en
countered, fallback to PIO mode
ad3: DMA problem encountered, fallback to PIO mode
done
ad1: UDMA CRC READ ERROR blk# 10522095 retrying
ad3: ad_timeout: lost disk contact - resetting
ata4: resetting devices .. done


At this point the machine is unpingable & will not respond to a break
on the console.  This is with a ccd stripe set, striped across 4
Maxtor "Diamondmax" drives attached one per channel to 2 Promise Ultra
cards.  `The kernel sources are dated slightly before the build time in=

the below boot messages.  (I'd have given you verbose messages, but
this is a transcript from the serial console logs & the machine is
wedged solid right now). I'm running with a timeout of 30 seconds as I
was hoping to avoid a 'lost contact - resetting' situation as all hell
breaks loose when those appear.

BTW, I'd really like a tunable or some way to prevent a permanent
fallback to PIO.  I'm more than willing to tolerate one hard error per
week or so on a disk which sees 10s of gigabytes of data read &
written between errors. =20

The driver was much more stable back in July when (I guess) you just
ignored errors.  Using a July kernel, this machine will stay up for
months with nothing but the occasional:

ad3: status=3D51 error=3D84
ad_interrupt: hard error

It never looses contact, never wedges.  Oh for the good old days..

Cheers,

Drew
