I noticed these messages coming forth from my system running Linux emu.os2.ami.com.au 2.2.10 #2 Wed Jun 16 18:20:49 WST 1999 i586 unknown
The drive concerned is new, I bought it about two weeks ago. Here's what hdarm says about it: [root@emu /root]# hdparm -i /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Model=ST38421A, FwRev=8.01, SerialNo=5BD070J3 Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs RotSpdTol>.5% } RawCHS=16368/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4 BuffType=0(?), BuffSize=256kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=off DblWordIO=no, maxPIO=2(fast), DMA=yes, maxDMA=2(fast) CurCHS=8184/32/63, CurSects=16498944, LBA=yes, LBAsects=16498944 tDMA={min:120,rec:120}, DMA modes: mword0 mword1 mword2 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:240,w/IORDY:120}, PIO modes: mode3 mode4
I have lots of the messages; here are a few: Sep 27 13:55:22 emu kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE Sep 27 13:55:48 emu kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE Sep 27 13:55:50 emu kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE Sep 27 13:55:56 emu kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE Sep 27 13:55:58 emu kernel: hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
Questions: 1 Is my drive broken? If so, how do I explain it to the dealer from whom I bought it? 2 If it's not brokwn, what should I do to avoid these messages and optimise its performance?
The drive's installed in a system with an ASUS SP97-V motherboard, P133 (with F00F), 96 Mbytes RAM. The chipset's SiS5598; I'm not using the onboard video.
perhaps this is useful: [root@emu /root]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems 5597 [SiS5582] (rev 02) 00:01.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems 85C503 (rev 01) 00:01.1 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems 5513 (rev d0) 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Standard Microsystems 9432 TX (rev 06) 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3] (rev 11) 00:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C764_1 [Trio 32/64 vers 1] 00:13.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems 5597/5598 VGA (rev 65) [root@emu /root]#
The system has another 8.4 Gb drive, it works well.
