Subject: Freeze with HPT370 2.4.22-rc2 and dxr3

Hi!

When I play a movie through the dxr3 (driver form dxr3.sf.net) it used
to work just fine for quite a long time.
However now that I use a software raid (one via ide on asus a7v8x and 2
hpt370) I can reproducably get the system to freeze when I mplayer -vo
dxr3 <file_on_sw_raid> after less than 10 minutes.

Then the IDE lid is continuously on until I reset the machine.

I found out that when I copy the file to a ram disk and then play it
through dxr3 it works just fine (no freeze). This happens even when I
boot with init=/bin/sh (so no nvidia or other binary only modules).

Any ideas on what to try out ?

Thanks,
Soeren.

Does the same happen with 2.4.20 or 2.4.21? (try with no binary modules
please)

Yes, happens with 2.4.21 and no binary modules. Shall I also try out
2.4.20 ? I will if needed and it works with ide >137G / via chipset in
udma mode.

Please try 2.4.20.

Ok, I tried with 2.4.20 again in single user mode. Same freeze.
Numlock was still working... sysrq+t/k etc don't give anything but cause
a freeze such that numlock no longer works also.

One disk is on one HPT370 and one is on one VIA IDE controller. Please
note that when I swap the hpt370 controller with a promise ultra 100 tx2
(pdc 20268) I get a system freeze on raid reconstruction (kernel 2.4.20
to 22) as soon as I turn on DMA on the pdc's... raid reconstructions
works fine with the hpt370s and DMA on though...

Shall I go back even further i.e. to 2.4.19 ? I will happily try out
other stuff if it helps fixing that problem. I thought maybe the dxr3
driver occupies the bus for a too long time ... could setting the pci
latency to <addvaluehere> of <which cards> help ?
