Hi. I have one trouble, and the following configuration:
ide first channel: old 40mb ide maxtor drive, master. ide second chanel: wd caviar 2700 (730mb), and atapi cdrom.
Linux is running on wd, but old maxtor drive is swap partition. I did such configuration because I wanted swap to be on other channel, and this old drive is not capable to run on second channel (or capable ? If so, how do I ?). My previous configuration was, when both hd was on first channel, and cdrom was on other, and it worked just fine. But when I moved to old-on-first-channel configuration, it seems to be, that Linux has trouble with this old crate:
hda: hda: status timeout: status = 0x80 { Busy } hda: drive not ready for command ide0: reset: success
Today I received this one:
hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE hda: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } hda: drive not ready for command ide0: reset: success
This drive has badblocks (three ones, from maxtor corp.;-) ), but they was ok on other configuration. Please help me, I love swap on entire device on other channel so much! I can even work in X on 8mb! :)) (btw, I strongly recommend you to use some old drive entire for swap on other channel - it's perfectly! Especially 120mb drives).
Linux 2.0.24; ide onboard, chipset umc8???. Yearh, I forgot one thing:
hdb: no response (status = 0x80)
on startup. Always. I have no hdb installed. :)
Any suggestion ?
