Comments 24,25 and 26. Apparently setting adma=0 fixes everything.

Kernel 2944 is based on 2.6.20.7 which has tons of SATA fixes from
2.6.21 (maybe still not enough?)

Upgraded to 2.6.20.7 - positives

2007-04-18 Thread Denis Vlasenko
Hi kernel people,

Just upgraded by home box to 2.6.20.7. Wow.

* Reiser3 mount times are drastically reduced,
  even when journal replay is needed
  (I have few 100Gb+ reiser3 partitions mounted at boot)
* sit pseudo-interface is gone. In previous kernel, I tried
  to disable it in kernel config to no avial. Now it was easy
  to simply compile it as a module.
* From make menuconfig questions it looks like SATA/PATA
  rewrite (in the form of libata) is almost finished. Hehe,
  untangling IDE mess was quite a feat, and Jeff did it. Kudos.

Need to check now whether losetup oopses are gone too,
or hunt them down if they are still with us :)

Thanks everybody for your amazing work.

ADMA mode on nvidia chipsets still seems broken despite massive
