Though look at his configuration! He has the drives EACH existing with a CD-ROM drive...
HDA = First hard drive HDB = CD-ROM HDC = Second hard drive HDD = CD/DVD Ugh bad setup!!! Linux is also initializing the IDE0 chain at UDMA100 yet he has a DVD on it!!!! Both drives are set up this way... VERY ugly. No wonder he is having problems... He really needs to keep the DVD/CDROM off the UDMA drive's chain and also drop the data rate... Linux is very picky about UDMA100 for good reason... -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Franki Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 12:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] System freezes when copying in second ide channel apparently then you probably have the nasty via bug in your bios, 2.2 kernels didn't seem to suffer from the problem. so swapping back fixed your problem.. good stuff.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Fedneg Sent: Monday, 17 December 2001 2:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] System freezes when copying in second ide channel On Sun, 2001-12-16 at 06:17, Jose M.

The video card is ATI Expert98 (mach64). There is no pci sound (I use the onboard VIA8233 AC97 with Alsa packages). I've tried also search the log messages for any error ( as Jose Orlando suggested) with no luck. Finaly I tested the 2.2.20 kernel with ext2 and the system seems stable as a rock, so the problem is with 2.4.x kernels and ext3 or reiserfs.
