Kernel 2.4.2 with ac20 patch seems doesn't like my motherboard
I have FIC SD11 with VIA686A chipset. I compiled it with support of
VIA82Cxxx and DMA support by default. First it seemed like work but
after a while I started to get errors like these:
kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
Before I compiled kernel 2.4.2 without ac patches and got the same errors.
HDD Fujitsu MPE3136AT.
Here is a part of config file for kernel (only set variables)

I am so tired of this report, I am about to hide these in a /dev/null
It is a nothing message. And if the via-core is correct it will auto down
grade the trnasfer rate and you will not feel any effect. Only a
marginally slow disk service.

Okay not to worry, I now have a my hands on a VIA 686B and will look at
the changes that happened to the VIA686A
Have you run 2.2.18 plus my patches off kernel.org?

Yes you should try because there is a fundamental difference in design of
VIA between 2.2.x + patches and 2.4.x

Hi Andre,
I'm running 2.2.18 on VIA686B (ABit VP6). Some time ago, you mentioned
that you got ~80Mb/s from 'hdparm -t /dev/hda'. Please tell us how?
Which hdparm/kernel options did you enable?

Nope not w/ 'hdparm' with DiskPerf and correcting for CR3's on memcpy's.
[root@via DiskPerf-1.0.3]# ./DiskPerf /dev/hda
Device: IBM-DTLA-307030 Serial Number: YKDYKM37674
LBA 0 DMA Read Test = 56.62 MB/Sec (4.42 Seconds)
Outer Diameter Sequential DMA Read Test = 35.46 MB/Sec (7.05 Seconds)
Inner Diameter Sequential DMA Read Test = 17.72 MB/Sec (14.10 Seconds)
When you adjust for memory delays (of 35-40%) then you get those number.
and those numbers are valid inside for kernel-kernel access, not
kernel-user-space.
Cheers,

Ok, now its clear that I have a big troubles with hardware.
I compiled kernel 2.2.18+IDE_patches with support for VIA chipset and still get
errors of type:
kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
kernel: hda: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC }
before these kernel reports a long string of messages
kernel: hda: Write Cache SUCCESSED Flushing!<6>hda: Write Cache....
Probably it's not a question for this list but what should I do and how can
I determinate broken hardware? (Or configuration? I still hope that it's not a
hardware)

I got those errors on a brand new IBM ATA100 drive. I
exchanged it for a new one which worked fine for a couple
of weeks, but now the new one is beginning to give me the
same errors. I've noticed a rash of people reporting these
errors since 2.4.x. Is it really that the new kernel is
simply better at reporting bad drives? Or is there
something else going on with the kernel? (Or are IBM
drives just crappy?)
Here's a portion of the messages I'm getting...
hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error}
hda: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=48973752, sector=1854944
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:08 (hda), sector 1854944
asus a7v/kt133
IDE is Via 686b
By the way, my 3c905B went bahooties since about ac21 I
think. I was under the impression that Alan backed out of
the suspected changes for ac23 but the problem remained. I
replaced it with an eepro100, but I don't know if it's the
card or what.

Update:
Thanks to some advice and help from Mark Hahn, I downloaded
the DFT utility from IBM that checks and fixes their
drives. A low-level format fixed the problems (the utility
calls it "erase disk". That seems odd to me, since I
thought that IDE drives automatically took care of bad
blocks, but apparently this needed the low-level format.
I'll keep an eye on that drive, though...
As for the 3C905B, I've already replaced it with an
eepro100, but as Mark suggested in an email, I will turn
off the "optimal" performance setting in the BIOS and see
if that gets rid of all the bizarre behavior. Apparently
that's not a kernel problem but a bios problem.
