Re: IDE status timeout

Hi, Tord,

Thank you. The timing looks fine. The system is
working except that this problem happens very
intermittently.

Regards,

Terry Liang

Hi,

Have you checked the WR, RD and CS timing against
the CF spec. For some hardware setups you might need
to
add some wait states. (That's what made my system
work).

Kind regards,

Tord

Hi,

I have a customed board that is running Linux

2.4.19

quoted

and XFS and that has a compactFlash card. The
compactFlash card is running in true IDE mode. I

ran

quoted

into the following error once in a while. It is

very

quoted

difficult to reproduce.

hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: no DRQ after issuing WRITE
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80
hda: status timeout: status=0x80 { Busy }
hda: drive not ready for command
ide0: reset timed-out, status=0x80

I read some discussions on a similar (or same?)
problem in another forum.

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0312.3/index.html#1111

But my problem seems to be different because even

a

quoted

soft reset can not reset the card and the problem
happens very randomly. The compactFlash card seems

to

quoted

be stuck. Has anybody seen this problem before?

Thank you in advanced for your input.
