Hi,

Any current's more recent than about a month ago on my main system seem to
'hang' on biord whenever they access the IDE drives...

The system boots of SCSI, has a number of SCSI drives - but as soon as it
either tries to mount, or fsck an IDE drive it just hangs... Breaking into DDB
at the time and running PS shows either fsck, or mount in "biord" - even a
simple DD results in the same hang...

Hitting CTRL-C will quit the mount/fsck/dd command - but the system just
doesn't seem to be able to access it's IDE drives?

Has anyone got any suggestions? - I noticed this a while ago, and posted
accordingly - but no one responded... If I boot an old kernel (like a month
old) the system comes up OK, but any newer kernels and they just hang... I've
tried rebuilding the kernel config from GENERIC, but it does the same :(

System is an SMP dual P-Pro200, running on a SuperMicro P6DNF w/256Mb RAM, 3 x
2940's, and 4xIDE drives...

Kernel config just says:

controller      wdc0    at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
disk            wd0     at wdc0 drive 0
disk            wd1     at wdc0 drive 1

controller      wdc1    at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15
disk            wd2     at wdc1 drive 0
disk            wd3     at wdc1 drive 1

dmesg for the above drives is below (I'd post the whole -v dmesg, but it's
very long :(

wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0xff00ff on isa

wd3: ATA INQUIRE valid = 0003, dmamword = 0407, apio = 0003, udma = 0000

Any suggestions? - I'd guess it's not a very prolific problem, as no one else
seems to have the same symptoms? :(

-Karl
