I believe this a MWDMA2 mode bug in Linux IDE layer (but I may be wrong
of course).

I have similar messages from one drive (old pre-UDMA Seagate with MWDMA)
on several computres. In short: 2.4.18 with PIIX driver is OK, 2.4.19
gives errors. ICH2 and new kernels give errors, old kernel not tested
yet. VIA 686b gives errors with newer kernels but also gives different
error on 2.4.18 (which is completely unexplained by me). Most errors
occur during disk load, cp -a of a kernel tree usually triggers it.
Needless to say that 2.5.latest have been the sam as current 2.4.
Details are below.
Since the disk works fine with kernels up to 2.4.18 24x7 and gets quite
a load (it's a kernel compile disk in an old K6/200 with 430TX, also
gets bk pulls for the kernel), the disk is probably working.
Since new kernels give errors not only on PIIX4 and ICH2 but also on
VIA, it is probaly not just Intel IDE driver problem.
So far I have seen 3 people with MWDMA problems, they are included in
the reply except one that I have lost the address for. MWDMA _seems_ to
be the common denominator.
The details:
2.4.18+piix tuning on PIIX4 works OK.
2.4.18+via driver on via 686b gets this:
hdd: timeout waiting for DMA
ide_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14
hdd: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdd: drive not ready for command
hdd: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: DMA disabled
hdd: drive not ready for command
ide1: reset: success
The same is repeated sometimes without "DMA disabled" message but the
thing seems to work.
2.4.22pre on the same piix4 gets this:
hdd: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61
hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x61
hdd: error waiting for DMA
hdd: dma timeout retry: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdd: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: DMA disabled
hdd: drive not ready for command
ide1: reset timed-out, status=0xff
hdd: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x41
hdd: error waiting for DMA
hdd: dma timeout retry: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdd: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdd: drive not ready for command
ide1: reset timed-out, status=0xff
And the disk is put offline after lots of IO errors.
2.4.22pre on via686b gets this:
hdd: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x60
hdd: timeout waiting for DMA
hdd: timeout waiting for DMA
hdd: (__ide_dma_test_irq) called while not waiting
hdd: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdd: drive not ready for command
hdd: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: DMA disabled
hdd: drive not ready for command
ide1: reset: success
and the disk stays working but sometimes stops for quite several
seconds, spits this error and continues.
2.4.22pre on ICH2 gets this _during partition detection_:
hdd: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x40
hdd: timeout waiting for DMA
hdd: timeout waiting for DMA
hdd: (__ide_dma_test_irq) called while not waiting
hdd: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdd: drive not ready for command
hdd: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
hdd: drive not ready for command
so no partitions and no mounting withs this kernel version.
Ths disk is Seagate ST32531A, 4996476 sectors (2558 MB), CHS=4956/16/63.

I did try increasing the timeout for DMA reads and DMA writes in
ide-dma.c but of course this did not help.
