Hello everyone,
I have trawled the depths of the Internet, scoured the innermost reaches
of the Usenet, and finally I arrive, beaten and bruised, at the steps to
the Linux kernel mailing list, to seek advice from the penguins
themselves. I humbly prostrate myself .. :)
My first request: Please CC me directly on replies as I am not
subscribed to the list.
Now to the meat of it; I have been experiencing a lot of trouble with
system freezes; but these are not crippling freezes in the sense that
they come back after a few seconds. They are always accompanied by the
following log in /var/log/messages:

Now, I know what you're thinking, this problem has been reported a lot
already. But, as I mentioned I have done a lot of searching online
looking for answers. There are a number of posts which seem like related
problems, especially if you search Google for "Exception emask". Most of
these suggest a work-around of putting the following boot options:
noapic acpi=off
Let me assure you already that this workaround did not fix my problems.
Nor does the flag "combined_mode=libata"; which was suggested elsewhere.
Another post suggests that smartd is the culprit; not only do I have the
latest version of smartd (which was supposed to fix the issue), but even
if I disable smartd I still see the same problem.
Yet another post indicates a problem with CD-ROM firmware. I have tried
disconnecting my CD-ROM from the system, swapping it with another, all
to no avail.
Yet another another post suggests that the skge (or its predecessor) was
to blame; so I replaced the network card with another I have, using the
8139cp driver. I still see the same problem.
Somewhere around this point, I gouged out my eyes and tore out my hair.
Thank goodness I am good at touch-typing.
What I have noticed, is that I only receive this exception (which seems
related to disk activity) when my machine is under heavy NETWORK LOAD;
i.e. when I am downloading the latest kernel (to pick a random example).
If there is no network activity the machine seems to be fine.
The hard drive which experiences the problems is running off a Maxtor
Ultra100 IDE controller card (promise-based). It's possible that this is
the culprit, but I am having a hard time moving the drive off this card
because I have setup my main partition using LVM (possible, but
non-obvious). I upgraded its firmware just in case, but that didn't help.
I do not believe that the drive itself has hardware problems because it
behaves fine when network traffic is not present. Also I did not notice
this problem until I upgraded to Fedora 7, which I believe was the first
Fedora distro to change the way the hard drives were represented (from
the old /dev/hdx system). I also use the following hdparms on the drive:
hdparm -S 120 /dev/sdb
At some point I thought this was the problem, but through trial and
error I believe it is OK. However it is possible that my sleuthing
abilities in this department are not up to snuff.
I am looking for any advice which will help me to workaround the
problem. I am not a kernel developer but I am fine with advanced system
configuration. I just want to have my smoothly running Linux box back again.
What follows is the usual system information:

(Yes, it's true I have the proprietary nvidia module installed, my
kernel is unfortunately tainted. I don't think this is the problem but

Thank you for any help you may offer.

The actual log is the disk I/O timing out, then the drive being busy (probably due to the timeout and a DMA transfer getting stuck). We reset it and carry on. Libata happens to log this a lot more visibly than old kernels which is useful but does mean people sometimes don't notice. The rest then fits - the freeze I'd expect as we block I/O while trying to get the drive back. Doubt the Nvidia module is involved as I'd then expect problems under high graphical load but you can certainly test that.

As I mentioned in my first post, the current card I am using is an attempt to try to work around the problem (originally I thought it was the on-board controller), so I have my doubts as to whether switching back would help.

That would be great - if it makes no difference, yet high network traffic is the key factor then it mostly eliminates bugs in the network drivers from suspicion.

One is the UDMA burst mode on the chip which should be getting set, the other is PCI latencies (which the BIOS should have set up but you can play with) > Should I be filing a bug report for this? Probably a good idea Next things to try are 1. edit drivers/ata/pata_pdc202xx_old.c after the line iowrite8(burst | 0x01, bmdma + 0x1f); add printk(KERN_ERR "BURST was %02X\n", burst); build/install/boot that kernel and see what it says. The second (sledgehammer) approach would be to use setpci to set the LATENCY_TIMER value on the pdc202xx_old and network card differently.
