Bug#323452: "hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21" errors + freeze (VIA VT82C686 chipset)

2005-08-16 Thread Vincent Lefevre 
Package: kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386
Version: 2.4.27-10
Severity: important

On this machine, I get the following error several times by hour:

hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
hda: error waiting for DMA
hda: dma timeout retry: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

and the whole machine freezes for several seconds.

You'll find below the output of dmesg and "lspci -v".

your drive appears busted.
i would back up any important data it holds.

When searching for "dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21" on Google,
I get about 787 pages. It could be a kernel problem as well. I've
installed another kernel image (the 2.6.8-2-k7) and will see if I
get the same errors. After 20 minutes, I haven't got any.

I've just installed smartmontools, and there are several errors
at disk power-on, but the short test completes without error.

I agree with Maximilian's advice that it is highly likely that
errors like this typically indicate that a disk is failing and 
that you should back up your data and replace the disk.

Then is there any reason why SMART doesn't detect any problem
except some errors at power-on time? And why don't I get such
errors with a 2.6 kernel (though I haven't done much testing)
if it is not a problem with the 2.4 kernel?

The whole machine will be replaced in the near future.

What exactly are the SMART errors?  If you force a smart short or long test, 
do you get errors?

No errors for short and long tests.
I've attached the output of "smartctl -a".
