Good info! I will concentrate on the CAP_CONTINOUS functionality. A cursory analysis of the interrupt status info that you send us seems to indicate that you are getting excessive PCI errors. Memory mapped location 0x100 (BKTR_INT_STAT) : bit 15 Set when a parity error is detected while the initiator is reading RISC instructions. Here is a sample output from my P100: Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000206 30701c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000a04 3077a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000a04 3077a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000206 30601c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000206 30601c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000a04 3067a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000a04 3067a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000206 30701c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000206 30701c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000a04 3077a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000a04 3077a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000206 30601c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000206 30601c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000a04 3067a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000a04 3067a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000206 30701c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000206 30701c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000a04 3077a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 d000a04 3077a4 Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000206 30601c Feb 22 05:51:20 cioloco /kernel: STATUS 0 c000206 30601c ^^^^^^^ BKTR_INT_STAT BKTR_INT_STAT is the second value in the output as you can see bit 15 is never set which means that the Bt848 is not having problems accessing the host memory. >From The Desk Of Randall Hopper : > Amancio Hasty: > |Has the driver been always this unstable with you or is it just this > |version? > > I got some freezes with 0.1, but they were pretty sporatic.
