From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <374D8E2A.48871830@wanadoo.fr> Date: Thu, 27 May 1999 20:25:46 +0200 From: Martin Costabel MIME-Version: 1.0 To: linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org Subject: Problems with vger 2.3.3/4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: On my 6400/200, the 2.3.3 (now 2.3.4) kernel from the vger tree has problems that started last Sunday: The sources checked out on May 21 give a kernel that runs perfectly, but starting from updates on May 22 and until right now, two problems showed up whose origin I could not identify, although I spent time staring at source files and cvs logs and trying things: The first one is related to the IDE driver. At boot time, in the partition check section, it gives me kernel: Partition check: kernel: sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 sda9 sda10 kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 kernel: hda:hda: timeout waiting for DMA kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } kernel: hda: DMA disabled kernel: ide0: reset: success atd: atd startup succeeded kernel: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 hda13 kernel: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. With the May 21 kernel, I get only, like always before, kernel: Partition check: kernel: sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 sda5 sda6 sda7 sda8 sda9 sda10 kernel: sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3 kernel: hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 hda13 kernel: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. The effect of this is that the HD is slower with the newer kernel: I use hdparm -p /dev/hda to tune it and usually get 4.35 MB/sec instead of 1.88 MB/sec. With the new kernel, it stays at 1.88 MB/sec, whatever I try. The second problem: I have a one-line script in /etc/rc.d that initializes the printer port: stty raw 57600 crtscts -echo < /dev/ttyS1 With the new kernel, the boot process hangs while trying to execute this script, and I have to do a hard reboot. If I comment this line out, the boot process succeeds. Afterwards, I can execute the script manually without problem. Any ideas? -- Martin [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
