Hi there! |

As my system froze again right now, I've tried to reproduce it, tried to use |
| 4 |
some of the hints given to me in this thread, and made the following |
| 5 |
observations: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
* The system freezes on heavy I/O on my sata-harddisks, especially when |
| 8 |
copying mpeg-files (>2GB) from one disk to another. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
* a "cat /proc/kmsg" started via ssh from another machine showed the last |
| 11 |
lines |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
<4>ata6: timeout waiting for ADMA IDLE, stat=0x440 |
| 14 |
<4>ata6: timeout waiting for ADMA LEGACY, stat=0x440 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
* sysrq does not work at all (why?? I configured it identically to my |
| 17 |
notebook, it works on the nb but not on the desktop. Simply no reaction |
| 18 |
when pressing alt-sysrq-something, even under normal conditions.) |

The sata-controller is an nvidia (onboard on my nforce-based mainboard), |
| 21 |
driven by sata_nv-driver (The one from the kernel, no proprietary nvidia |
| 22 |
chipset/sata driver installed). The kernel in question is a |
| 23 |
gentoo-2.6.24-r8, I'll try an upgrade to the latest stable gentoo kernel. |

Thanks to all who gave suggestions |
