MG> A person in my local LUG suggested that I send this bug to the list.
MG> Since 2.2.9[1], I have had problems with linux dying with the error
MG> "Timeout on hda waiting for DMA". By dying I mean that nothing but the
MG> Nitty gritty of the hardware:
MG> Motherboard is a SuperMicro P6DBE with two PII/300 chips. I use both
MG> the on-board piix4 IDE controller, and an offboard Promise Ultra33
MG> controller. While the crashes usually happen on hda, the only linux
MG> files on hda are the ftp and http documents. The IDE devices are as
MG> follows:
MG> hda: Maxtor 8.4 GB UltraATA/DMA drive (purchased August 1998)
MG> hdb: Panasonic 24x CD-ROM (same purchase time)
MG> hdc: Seagate Travan tape drive (STT-8000A, I believe)
MG> hdd: Sony CDU-928E CD-R
MG> hde: MAxtor 8.4 GB UltraATA/DMA drive (purchased January 1999)
This also happens to me. Maxtor hard disk!
