Subject: Kernel or failing harddisc?
Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 00:54:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200411090054.48164.alistair@devzero.co.uk> (raw)

Hi,

Periodically, especially while playing large files with Xine (~1.4GB OGMs), 
playback will pause for up to 10 seconds. I see the following in dmesg;

hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x64
hda: DMA interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt

The drive then recovers and playback resumes, no problem.

Is this likely to be the first signs of a faulty HD, or is it some known 
problem? In the event that it's the HD, has anybody been able to successfully 
RMA a Maxtor which has this, albeit minor, problem?

Cheers,
Alistair.
