Over the easter weekend I took some time for testing. One ide channel does
not work with dma enabled, which is bootup default. After about 30 seconds,
the channel is switched to pio and the machine running again.

Funny though: Before, I could not return from console blanking or reach the
machine through network. But as for any production system, I rather keep it
running than spend downtime seeking the error.

Thank you all.

I don't necessarily believe its the hpt366, as you do. See below: (note:
I've also had it running on a stock 2.4.2 kernel for a while)

Bugreport: Kernel 2.4.x crash

2001-04-03 Thread Jörn Engel

1. Kernel crash w/out error message or logfile entry

2. A Fileserver with an ABIT Hotrod 66 (htp366) controller will crash within
5-60 minutes after boot with a 2.4.x kernel. 2.2.x works fine. No other
exotic hardware. Another possibility might be Reiserfs, which I use for all
partitions except /.
I have no experience with kernel debugging, but so far, I have found no log
entry giving me a hint and the screen is blank after the crash. There might
have been some output before, but the machine is in the basement and too
important for excessive testing.
I have tried 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 once each.

3. ide, hpt366

4. 2.4.2, 2.4.3
