Status: kernel 2.4.0-test10 (no patches added)
Problem: getting dma problems - having to run system with no dma
for disc access - seems to be a bus mastering problem.
Hardware: Aopen AX34Pro mother board, Via chipset with via686a,
Seagate Baracuda ATA66 20GB disc - Latest Bios for motherboard
Sony CDU4811 cdrom
I am willing to test patches.

>From time to time, the HD light goes on permanently and the Hard Disk
doesn't respond anymore. Processes run smoothly until they try to access
Hard Disk, since they block waiting the HD response.
I can see the following messages in the console (no hard disk log, since
the HD is not available):
(I'm copying the console using paper and pencil :-)
hda: status timeout: status = 0x80 {Busy}
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset timed-out, status = 0x80
... the same thing ...

hda: status timeout: status = 0x80 {Busy}
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset timed-out, status = 0x80
... and so on ...
The HD light is ON permanently.
If I reset the machine, the BIOS doesn't recognize the HD. I have to
switch the machine OFF in order to recover.
I can reproduce the problem with DMA and without it, with the
experimental 586 driver and without it too.
It's not a hardware defect since I can reproduce the error in two
different "twin" machines.
The machines runs FINE for hours/days, until this problem occurs. Not a
good deal for a production system (or for debug patches :-( ).
The power management is disabled.
The onboard sound system is disabled.

I could, but the problem is ocurring only over long time periods

I've got a motherboard with the same Via686a chipset, and i've never had a
problem with DMA when it's enabled.
Using a pair of 20 gig IBM drives on the secondary, and a 3.2 quantum primary,
17.2 gig maxtor. All using DMA, all work. Using ultra/33, I wasn't even
aware this chipset is ultra/66 capable, until last night. Going to acquire an
ultra/66 cable, and test udma/66 mode tonight. And find out what bios setting
makes the thing not _allow_ dma at all.
System used to be flaky with networking, did some memory timing adjustments,
seems to be ok now.

Not too bad for an old 20 gig. Same speeds whether i have -c3 -u1 or not.
Turn DMA off, it gets slow though
