| |
Hi all,
This is kinda related to my last post I've done some more testing and I'm pretty close to the cause know.
Here's what happens -X is running -Wait till hd falls a sleep. -Switch to an empty console (noone is logged in there) -Log in -After typing my passwd hd spins up -when hd starts spinnign up switch to X -hard hang, on the textconsole, never gets to X (this happens always not sometimes)
This only happens when I run 2.0.35+Jumbo-9 with udma enabled in my bios, without udma (just dma mode 2) no problem. With 2.0.3x without jumbo, no problem.
Here's my system: vxpro+ (via appolo) motherboard cyrix6x86L-PR200+ 48 mb 60ns-edo (2x 8 + 2x 16) 1gig seagate as primary master (pio 4) 6.5 gig quantum fireball secondary master (udma) 1.44 & 1.2 mb floppy's ncr53c810 scsi2-controller pioner 4x scsi cdrom etherexpress pro10 sb32 + 2mb s3virge/dx 4mb
Here's some more detailed info:

I suspected the hd stuff because: -With the first crash I witnessed I noticed it happened when the dh spinned up, also it made a strange noice when spinning up -When I first got it I had bought 2 (one for a friend) and this one wouldn't be detected by any of 3 pc's (with each their own ide cabel) while the other one worked fine in all 3 (with the same cabels) So I returned it to the store. Then I got it back (the same serial at least ;) and they said it worked fine for them. And indeed it did work , but I still don't trust it.
I changed the following things lately:
About 2 weeks ago I got a new video card and did some other things too: -changed ide kabels for shorter ones (since I wanted to enable udma) -enabled udma on my via appolo board using the jumbo-9 patch -changed my s3 trio64 2mb for a s3virge/dx 4mb -removed my 1 gig scsi ibm drive to use it in my brothers sparc ipx ;)
About 2 months ago : -got a new hd (the quantum) made this secondary master and moved my linux install to it.
I hope this is fixable, any clues. I know don't use udma / hd sleeping. but I don't like to have to choose between them both are very usefull.
Regards,
Hans
