| |
I am having a problem - whenever I write a lot of data to the only drive on this controller, my system locks up - the scsi driver and then the ide driver report timeouts for awhile and then the system just goes away. mke2fs is a good way to make this happen; but if mke2fs should succeed, mounting the partition and creating a 100MB file does it for sure.
This is a weird one; what can cause it? I tried two different drives and cables so far; before I tear everything apart and try a new system and/or controller I want to see if this is a common problem.
Why would a problem in the SCSI system also cause the IDE system to go out? Is it disbling interrupts or anything weird like that?
More system info:
linux 2.0.33 ncr 53,8xx driver 5mhz sync, no tagged command queueing enabled. CSC PCIDIFF controller; Seagate Barracuda drive. AMD K6-200 w/32MB RAM
Thanks! Mark
