nforce2 ide dma unstable on 2.4.22
From: Joshua Jacobs
Date: Tue Oct 14 2003 - 23:25:42 EST
I'm having problems getting a stable system up and running on my new Biostar
AMD Nforce2 motherboard. When hard disk DMA is not enabled, the system is
slow but apparantly stable.
When I enable dma (hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda), the system crashes about once a day.
Google searches revaled problems with acpi/apic on nforce2 motherboards, so
I've included the output of dmesg,lspci and the contents of /proc/interupts.
(I tried disabling acpi/apic options in my kernel & bios in an effort to fix
the problem.)
please cc me on any replies. Thanks!
