Hello, While copying between two DOS-partitions, my screen went haywire saying I found a kernel bug. Since no hits on google when searching for kernel BUG at fs/mpage.c:489! I decided to let you know.
Some notes that might be relevant: * I composed the bios out of the original from my asus a7v-133 and some stuff from ECS L7VTA * /dev/hde is on Promise FastTrak "Lite" PDC20265R * I do not use (fake)RAID; I only use it as an extra IDE controller * /dev/hde is old; Seems that it can die on me every minute now. * I have no historical data :-(. This computer saw its first Linux only a week ago. * /dev/hda is brand new; only a week old. Not second hand. * /dev/hda and /dev/hdc should have identical uuid and partition tables; I make backups with basically dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc. * I retried the command, but I was unable to reproduce the problem. Only thing I found after three successful copies: Feb 12 19:54:44 butterfly kernel: <4>hde: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21 Feb 12 19:55:08 butterfly kernel: hde: DMA timeout error Feb 12 19:55:08 butterfly kernel: hde: dma timeout error: status=0xd0 { Busy } Feb 12 19:55:08 butterfly kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Feb 12 19:55:08 butterfly kernel: hde: DMA disabled Feb 12 19:55:08 butterfly kernel: PDC202XX: Primary channel reset.
