Mixing UDMA33/66 drives, VIA IDE, Linux 2.2.18

[Oliver Feiler <kiza@lionking.org>]

Hello,

	I've run into a problem while using the follwing different drives:
IBM-DTTA-351010 and IBM-DJNA-351520. The first one is a UDMA33 drive and the 
second one seems to be a UDMA66 capable drive, UDMA4. I have attached a 
"hdparm -i" of both drives at the end of the mail.

	Both drives are connected to the same IDE channel on a VIA686A board 
with a 80pin IDE cable. When I try to access the UDMA33 drive I get:

Mar  2 16:08:30 kiza kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady 
SeekComplete DataRequest }
Mar  2 16:08:41 kiza kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA
Mar  2 16:08:41 kiza kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady 
SeekComplete DataRequest }
Mar  2 16:08:51 kiza kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA
Mar  2 16:08:51 kiza kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady 
SeekComplete DataRequest }
Mar  2 16:09:01 kiza kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA
Mar  2 16:09:01 kiza kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady 
SeekComplete DataRequest }
Mar  2 16:09:01 kiza kernel: hda: DMA disabled
Mar  2 16:09:01 kiza kernel: hdb: DMA disabled
Mar  2 16:09:01 kiza kernel: ide0: reset: success

	and the system continues to work with DMA disabled.

	If I use a 40pin cable to connect the drives there are no problems. If 
I try to set -X66 with hdparm for the UDMA66 disk (that should set UDMA33 
mode, right?) and use the 80 pin cable the problem is not solved.

	The problem seems to be the 80 pin cable. Can't the drives operate in 
different modes independently? Setting a slower transfer mode with hdparm does 
not work. Can it be set otherwise? With a kernel parameter?

	I'm using 2.2.18 with the IDE driver that came with it. Is this maybe 
a problem that was solved in 2.4?

	Or is it just a theoretical "that will not work" problem? :)

Thanks for any help.

Oliver
