I recently upgraded my desktop machine to 2.2.19 plus
the ide.2.2.19.03252001.patch available from kernel.org
so that I may use DMA with my VIA 82C686A controller.
Now, when I attempt to mount or otherwise access
/dev/hdb, I get the following error:
Apr 5 18:15:14 ryoko kernel: hdb: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Apr 5 18:15:14 ryoko kernel: hdb: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 {
DriveStatusError }
Apr 5 18:15:14 ryoko kernel: hdb: Write Cache FAILED Flushing!
This did NOT happen with 2.2.18 and the corresponding
ide.2.2.18.1209.patch. It does NOT seem to happen on
/dev/hda or /dev/hdc, which is lucky, since /dev/hdb
is unused. I'm using lilo.conf to specify idebus=33.
The controller is a VIA 82C686A (Asus K7V mainboard).

same problem observed here on same motherboard. The hard disk is a WDC AC23200L
configured as hda. I have tested several ide/kernel combinations and all I can
say is that 2.2.18 and 2.2.19 behave the same, but it worked till
ide.2.2.18.1221 included, and the bug appeared since ide.2.2.18.02122001.
I tried with and without vojtech's via patches (3.2, 4.2 and 4.3), but this
didn't change anything (to be honest, some combinations were obviously not made
to live together, and I had so many problems fitting all patches in one kernel
that it sometimes even didn't boot).
I can also say that this problem didn't show up on other chipsets (ali and
intel) with the same kernel+ide patch.
finally, I made my kernel with ide.2.2.18.1221 and all seems to be OK (one week
now). The diffs between the 2 versions were too important and I have not
investigated further into this, but I'm ready to make some tests if needed.
Regards,
Willy
PS: BTW Andre, could you please name your patches ide-2.2.19-YYYYMMDD so that a
directory listing show the chronological order ?

This is a problem the old via-code did "82C686A" fine but knew nothing
about "82C686B" and the new code does not do well with "82C686A" but good
with "82C686B".

I'd be glad to test any patches....In the meantime, is
there an older patch that will work + apply relatively cleanly to
2.2.19?
>Why are we mixing drives this class?
On the same cable? I seem to get better data rates (according
to testing with hdparm) if the newer drives are the masters. It only
amounts to a few tenths of a MB/sec, though, so I suppose the
old drive could be the secondary master on the cable with the
DVD-ROM. Would this help?
Thanks for your help!
