[sata_nv] timeout waiting for ADMA IDLE, stat=0x440

[sata_nv] timeout waiting for ADMA IDLE, stat=0x440

[Maarten Maathuis]

I have this problem several times, always with the same harddrive, a
samsung sp2004c. My samsung hd161hj and hd321kj don't seem to suffer
from this problem. I do not know when exactly it happened for the
first, but it has happened twice on a 2.6.22 kernel.

Is there anything that can be done about this (besides disabling adma
for all drives), or any information i can provide to help?

Please CC me, as i am not a member of this mailinglist.

Sincerely,

Maarten Maathuis.

Sounds like the drive has gotten into a really hosed state after this 
point. The SError register is showing a CRC error, disparity error, and 
10b to 8b decode error, which indicates that there are some major SATA 
communication problems happening.

It could be a hardware problem (bad drive, bad SATA cable, insufficient 
power, etc.) or maybe this is another drive with broken NCQ..

A broken cable seems like a realistic possibility, so i swapped it for
another cable. I will try if that solves the problem.

I have not had any issues, i swapped the cable because a while ago i
had to check the connection of the drive after the bios failed to
detect the drive. That is why i considered that a posibility. Kernel
2.6.18 does not have NCQ support for nvidia chipsets, so that cannot
be it.

This is a rather comedic email thread, with people top-posting, others
leaving others off the cc list, Robert's MUA reliably and inexplicably
mangling both In-Reply-To: and References: thus breaking threading, no
visible sign of how Jan got involved and no linux-ide cc's.

Enough time has passed for everyone to forget all about this.  So Maarten,
if you still believe that this is still a kernel bug then please update us
on its status and provide a full description for linux-ide..  Please use
reply-to-all for that.

Thanks.

At this point it safe to say that it was a cable related issue.

I swapped it to be sure and i haven't had issues since.

Sincerely,

Maarten Maathuis.

I wrote Maarten a private mail, w/o any mailing lists CCed or BCCed, 
but with References: (just hit reply button and removed CCs) because I 
assumed his problem was really just the cabling in the end, which does 
not apply to me at all.
