have you checked that 'unmaskirq' is set for your harddisk? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
hdparm /dev/hda should look like this: |
| 13 |
hdparm /dev/hda |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
/dev/hda: |
| 16 |
multcount = 16 (on) |
| 17 |
IO_support = 1 (32-bit) |
| 18 |
unmaskirq = 1 (on) |
| 19 |
using_dma = 1 (on) |
| 20 |
keepsettings = 0 (off) |
| 21 |
readonly = 0 (off) |
| 22 |
readahead = 256 (on) |
| 23 |
geometry = 16383/255/63, sectors = 234493056, start = 0 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
not this: |
| 26 |
hdparm /dev/hda |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
/dev/hda: |
| 29 |
multcount = 0 (off) |
| 30 |
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit) |
| 31 |
unmaskirq = 0 (off) |
| 32 |
using_dma = 1 (on) |
| 33 |
keepsettings = 0 (off) |
| 34 |
readonly = 0 (off) |
| 35 |
readahead = 256 (on) |
| 36 |
geometry = 16383/255/63, sectors = 234493056, start = 0 |
