It seems that the problem I am having maybe in the ide driver itself. I searched the web on this a lot before I sent this to the list, and found a post from Alan Cox saying that this was a low priority. Joe > I tried the patch on your site against 2.4.14, it helped, system still hung... Damn. Lost interrupt is outside my code. This lives in the ide driver proper and is probably relative toi the via82cxxx specific controller code that is deep voodoo from Andre. I guess Andre/Jens have not found all the *funnies* in the buggy chipset. > hdd lost interrupt > > is there buffereing done in data transfers to disks?
