Hello,

I have Dell Optiplex with ide->CF-Flash card interface. This configuration
works well with 2.6.27.21 but it generates the following messages on 2.6.29.3:
...
hda: dma_timer_expiry: DMA status (0x21)
hda: DMA timeout error
...

Here you have more data, if you need something more please let me know.

PS

This issue takes place with 2.6.28 too.

Does 2.6.27.21 use DMA?

Is this system equipped with on-board IDE->CF adapter,
or is it an add-on one?

Does this adapter support DMA at the hardware level
(some adapters don't have DMA lines)?

Thanks.

"Does 2.6.27.21 use DMA?"

I will check it today evening.

"Is this system equipped with on-board IDE->CF adapter,
or is it an add-on one?"

It is an additional hardware. The hardwer is connected to mother board (IDE
ifc) and CF-CARD is inserted in a slot on the hardware.

"Does this adapter support DMA at the hardware level
(some adapters don't have DMA lines)?"

Take a look belllow, is it what you need?

Ok.

We know that the device supports DMA but we don't know
about the adapter.

Unfortunately there is no software method to check it so
you need to look at PCB and verify if there are any routes
connected to pins 21 and 29 (DMARQ and -DMACK lines).

This kernel is using ide_generic host driver which doesn't support DMA
instead of piix one (it explains why 2.6.27.21 works and 2.6.29.3 doesn't).

No DMA lines... this is hardware problem -- you can workaround it with
"ide_core.nodma=0.0" boot parameter (see Documentation/ide/ide.txt for
more details on ide parameters).

I'm closing the bug.
