had: lost interrupt...

[Fons Rademakers]

Hi,

   in my laptop (HP 4150B) I upgraded from a 12GB IBM Travelstar to an
20GB IBM Travelstar (both 4200rpm). After the upgrade I moved also to
2.4.2-pre3 and reiserfs. However, the problem I now have is that after
resume I get the message "hda: lost interrupt" and the only thing to do
is to reset the machine (in the only good thing is that reiserfs saved
me a lot of fsck time).

Any idea what the problem might be? Is the larger disk not supported by
the BIOS (it is recognized properly). People mentioned not to use DMA
anymore?

With 2.2.18 and the 12GB disk there were never problems (except that the
disk got bad blocks ;-().

My IDE setup in .config is below.


Cheers, Fons.

You didn't give the (likely more) important part of your .config, but I'll bet
that you have CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS disabled. Turn it on, rebuild and reboot.
At least on a Thinkpad T20, trying to use UDMA, and APM without APM_ALLOW_INTS
enabled gives an 'hda: lost interrupt'. Even worse, I didn't hang, but was able
to go on and trash my hard drive :-(
With CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS turned on, everything behaves nicely.

Hi Tim,

  thanks for answering. However, I found the problem for my laptop. It was due
to the broken /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/... in RH7.0 that was always executing
the xlock and xcreensaver on suspend. Correcting this script and not running
this xlock stuff the interrupt lost problem disappeared. However, it should not
have happened in the first place so maybe you suggestion would allow one to
run both xlock on suspend and still being able to resume. I'll try that although
I won't need the xlock feature.

Cheers, Fons.
