IDE status timeout

IDE status timeout

[Xupei Liang]

Hi,

I have a customed board that is running Linux 2.4.19
and XFS and that has a compactFlash card. The
compactFlash card is running in true IDE mode. I ran
into the following error once in a while. It is very
difficult to reproduce.

>hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
>hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
>ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
>hda: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
>hda: drive not ready for command
>ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80

115537
>I/O error in filesystem ("ide0(3,2)") meta-data dev

I read some discussions on a similar (or same?)
problem in another forum.

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0312.3/index.html#1111

But my problem seems to be different because even a
soft reset can not reset the card and the problem
happens very randomly. The compactFlash card seems to
be stuck. Has anybody seen this problem before?

Thank you in advanced for your input.

Regards,

Terry Liang

Hi, Tord,

Thank you. The timing looks fine. The system is
working except that this problem happens very
intermittently.
