I've isolated the problem, it is in wd.c at the label reset_ok: (~ line 524)
and this fragment of the code fails when the panic occurs:
/* execute a controller only command */
if (wdcommand(du, 0, 0, 0, 0, WDCC_DIAGNOSE) != 0
|| wdwait(du, 0, TIMEOUT) < 0)
goto nodevice;
Just before this piece of code a wdreset() is issued, and i suspect the
drive is not ready after the reset for another command. I've added a
delay in front of the code and will observe this further, bu i am in no
way an IDE specialist, so does anyone else have an idea ?
