Subject: CompactFlash and HD unhappy together on the same IDE channel
Date: Sat, 18 Aug 2007 17:00:35 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <46C69913.1060505@g7.org> (raw)

My PATA hard disk is crippled by CRC errors when it's on the same cable 
as a 1GB SanDisk Ultra II CompactFlash card in CF to IDE adaptor. Any 
ideas why?

By swapping around components, I've established that the problem is 
unlikely due to the cable (which is 50cm long 80-wire), hard disk or 
controller. When I swap to another, slower CF card (one that only 
supports PIO rather than MWDMA), the error goes away and the hard disk 
operates happily at UDMA/33.

No errors are reported for the CF card I/O.

The adaptor card is unbranded, model CF-IDE40 V.A1. It's a double-sided 
type, but I'm only using one of the two CF sockets.

The spec sheet says

* Accord with: CF spec Ver2.0 and IDE/ATA-33 spec.
* Standard IDE interface: true-IDE mode, support DMA-33 transfer mode

I see the errors both with the old IDE code in 2.6.18 and with libata in 
2.6.22

cheers,

Malcolm
