If this is true, I don't think this can be a VIA IDE driver problem. 2) In your original message you suggest bs=1024M, which isn't a very good idea, even on a 768 MB system. Here with bs=1024k it seems to run fine. 3) You sent next to none VIA related debugging info. lspci -v itself isn't much valuable because I don't get the register contents. Also hdparm -i of the drives attached to the VIA chip would be useful. Plus also the contents of /proc/ide/via. 4) Did you check the problem you're experiencing isn't a memory problem? That'd go away with removing some RAM. Vojtech PS. I'm not sure how wise is to use both ACPI and APM at once. Well, I never used either in a server environment - I don't think it makes much sense. PPS. What should I do with a ksyms dump of the Advansys SCSI and a Tulip NIC drivers? It isn't related anyhow. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
