I've got a fully pnp system, with a seagate 2.1 gig drive and a Creative Labs CD420 cd drive on the first ide (ide0) channel. I've been letting the bios auto-detect everything (what's a pnp bios for, anyway ... :) ), and sometimes, at seemingly random times, I get the following error, under kernelversions 2.0.27 and 2.0.30.
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 {DriveReady Seekcomplete DataRequest} hda: drive not ready for command ide0: reset: success ^ this | scrolls on the screen, and just repeats ad infinitum. The machine is essentially frozen; the only way I've found to fix it is to hit the case-mounted reset button. The error seems _not_ to happen under Windoze, and doesn't seem to be triggered by anything I can lay a finger on (not launching a particular application, for example). I remember hearing about a problem with LBA mode, so I switched to a different mode, but then I can't boot... lilo just prints LI and freezes (tho sometimes CTRL-ALT-DEL still works). Any clues?
