[maximilian attems]

dma on a thinkpad  600E worked for 2.6.8, but didn't since 2.6.9
also non working 2.6.10.

-hda: 12594960 sectors (6448 MB) w/460KiB Cache, CHS=13328/15/63, UDMA(33)
+hda: 12594960 sectors (6448 MB) w/460KiB Cache, CHS=13328/15/63

could you please look at the following ide dma bug report for piix in
debian -> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=289770
full dmesg of both 2.6.8 and 2.6.10 are posted there.

thanks maks

Incidentally, this may be the same bug as Debian bug #284558:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=284558

which involves more recent PIIX hardware.

"something" steals resource needed for IDE driver so no DMA

this one is an user error, ide_generic driver shouldn't be used
at the same time as piix driver

sorry, not an user error, it looks like a bug in distribution
(ide_generic shouldn't be loaded unconditionally!)

Does the kernel know what the 'something' is? Should I be routing
around in /proc looking for something specific?

Re: (fwd) Re: Bug#289770: kernel-image-2.6.10-1-686: 2.6.10 fails to set up DMA on my IBM thinkpad

[Prarit Bhargava]

Philip and Bartlomiej,

I've been tracking an almost identical problem on my IA64 platform with 
a bk pull that is about a month old. 

I tracked it down to a duplicate vector request of 0x38 = 56 by the 
mmtimer -- take a look at /proc/interrupts, /proc/ioports, /proc/iomem 
and see if anything has requested the specific area that your CD is 
trying to get.

My output looked like:

SGIIOC4: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:01:01.0, revision 79
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xc00001080c200140-0xc00001080c200163
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8588, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide0: Disabled unable to get IRQ 56.
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8588, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hda: IRQ probe failed (0x4ffffffe)
Probing IDE interface ide1...
ide1: Wait for ready failed before probe !
Probing IDE interface ide2...
ide2: Wait for ready failed before probe !
Probing IDE interface ide3...
ide3: Wait for ready failed before probe !
Probing IDE interface ide4...
ide4: Wait for ready failed before probe !
Probing IDE interface ide5...
ide5: Wait for ready failed before probe !
ide0: DISABLED, NO IRQ

Bartlomiej, just a thought:

I think that the output of the failures of the probes for non-existant 
interfaces ide1-ide5 could be suppressed, no?

What would you think if we only output the "failed before probe" 
messages for interfaces that return -EBUSY from wait_hwif_ready? It 
would make the system boot a lot "prettier":)

/proc/ioports for both kernels should tells us more...

Interrupts and iomem seem pretty much the same, but ioports looks like

Further investigation reveals that turning off CONFIG_PNPBIOS solves
the problem.

With PNPBIOS set, the kernel seems to think that the io range is in
use regardless of whether quickboot is set in the BIOS or not.

I have Toshiba Satellite 320CDT.
I compiled 2.6.10 vanilla kernel with CONFIG_PNPBIOS disabled.
All IDE drivers was compiled into the kernel.
I can't still enable DMA for my harrddisk.
This is my earlier crying:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110789166000004&r=1&w=2

What can I do?
