 |
|
As the topic says, when I put a DVD/CD in my drive:
| Code: |
# hdparm -i /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
Model=SONY DVD RW AW-G630A, FwRev=1.00, SerialNo=
Config={ Fixed Removeable DTR<=5Mbs DTR>10Mbs nonMagnetic }
RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
(maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=yes, LBAsects=0
IORDY=yes, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}
PIO modes: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
DMA modes: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2
UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2
AdvancedPM=no
* signifies the current active mode
# hdparm /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
IO_support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 0 (off)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
|
the system gets VERY SLOW.
Mouse starts lagging, "auto-completion" in terminals gets very slow, beryl gets very very slow to.
It's a brand new laptop, with:
- core 2 duo 2 Ghz
- 2 gb ram
- 512 mb nvidia 7600 go
- 160 gb sata hdd
running gentoo ~amd64
What can be the problem?

Try to enable DMA and possibly some other features such as unmaskirq and 32 bit IO-support depending on your setup.
| Code: | # hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device |

I can't enable DMA 
| Code: |
# hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
setting using_dma to 1 (on)
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
using_dma = 0 (off)
|
Here's benchmark:
| Code: |
# hdparm -tT /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
Timing cached reads: 5002 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2505.95 MB/sec
BLKFLSBUF failed: Function not implemented
Timing buffered disk reads: 20 MB in 3.01 seconds = 6.65 MB/sec
BLKFLSBUF failed: Function not implemented

Is your kernel configured to support your chipset?

check that you compile your kernel with the options "Generic PCI bus-master DMA support " and "Use PCI DMA by default when available",and of course the driver for your chipset...

Here is the DMA support:
| Code: |
-> Device Drivers
-> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
-> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (IDE [=y])
-> Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support (BLK_DEV_IDE [=y])
-> PCI IDE chipset support (BLK_DEV_IDEPCI [=y])
-> Generic PCI bus-master DMA support (BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI [=y])
-> Device Drivers
-> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
-> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (IDE [=y])
-> Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support (BLK_DEV_IDE [=y])
-> PCI IDE chipset support (BLK_DEV_IDEPCI [=y])
|
Here is the driver i use:
| Code: |
-> Device Drivers
-> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
[*] ATA device support
[*] Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support
[*] Intel PATA MPIIX support
|
My chipset:
| Code: |
00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 02) (prog-if 80 [Master])
Subsystem: Inventec Corporation Unknown device 0040

You don't appear to have a SATA DVD-RW as, in your first post, it appeared as /dev/hdc.
You have Intel PATA MPIIX support enabled in your kernel config but it isn't the right driver as, otherwise, the DVD-RW would appear as /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1.
Would you post the lspci for your plain IDE controller, please? I can't see what kernel you are running, at a guess, it's 2.6.19-gentoo-r5: the SATA controller (82801GBM/GHM) uses the ata_piix driver which you have enabled.
pata_mpiix which you have enabled for your DVD-RW is for the "430MX - 82371MX Mobile PCI I/O IDE Xcelerator (MPIIX)" (no, I've never heard of it either  )

ham_se17,
The Intel ICH7 is a problem in a mixed SATA/PATA installation.
It comes from some of the registers controlling the chip set up being shared between the two interfaces.
There are many posts reporting your problem here and a few with the solution, which unfortunately, I don't remember.
I really hate to say search the forums but thats all I can think of right now.
Use google, not Quick Search - put site:forums.gentoo.org in googles search box, after your search terms to restrict the search. Like this | Code: | | ICH7 +DMA site:forums.gentoo.org |
there is lots of hits.
You do not want the IDE PIIX driver, thats only useful up to ICH6 chipsets - that much I do recall.
This post suggests you use SCSI emulation for your IDE CDROM.

Hmmm, checkmated!
No IDE controller as such, it must be provided by "82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE".
Hmmm, tricky: it looks as if you need | Code: | -> Device Drivers
-> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
[*] ATA device support
<*> Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support |
to get the IDE part of the controller working.
This may not work (it's Parallel ATA (experimental) ) in which case you need to take it out and put in | Code: | | <*> Intel PIIXn chipsets support |
from "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support" instead.

your search string helped me to this post: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=460566 which solved my issue, I don't know if this is the "right" way, but i can access it without the system gets unavailable.
Solution:
1) Remove support for for the IDE bus. Deselect the following option
| Code: | Device Drivers -->
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support -->
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support |
This will remove all ide interfaces from the kernel and your DVD drive will not be recognized at rebooting. This is what you want to do.
Without doing this, DVD playback is inadequate.
2) Add SATA support and the Intel SSCSI Device Support -->
| Code: | SCSI Low Level Drivers -->
Serial ATA support -->
and chose support for your controller in my case it is ----> Intel PIIX/ICH SATA support |
Your DVD drive should not even be recognized at this point! Please note that the below will only work with kernels newer than 2.6.14.
Now add the following to your kernel line in grub.conf :
| Code: | | libata.atapi_enabled=1 |
Now reboot and you should see /dev/sr0 being created.
| Code: |
sdparm /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0: SONY DVD RW AW-G630A 1.00 [cd/dvd]
Read write error recovery mode page:
AWRE 1 [cha: y, def: 1]
ARRE 0 [cha: y, def: 0]
PER 0 [cha: n, def: 0]
Write parameters (MMC) mode page:
BUFE 0 [cha: y, def: 1]
WR_T 3 [cha: y, def: 0]
MULTI_S 0 [cha: y, def: 3]

ham_se17,
Yes, thats the right way - you use only the SATA driver to configure the ICH7 disk interface. Not both the SATA and PATA drivers, which doesn't work.
What you have done is similar to the post I suggested that proposed emulated SCSI which is depreciated. I'll bookmark your post so I can refer others to it.
Thank you.

ham_se17: are you in the mood for a little experimentation? Perhaps having just got your DVD-RW working properly, you aren't.
However, if you are: the libata module parameter atapi_enable has been set to 1 (on) by default in the code since 2.6.16 so it doesn't look as if adding libata.atapi_enabled=1 to the kernel command line changes anything, would you like to try booting without it and see if DMA still works?

Good.
(Psst ... did you want to ask about "combined=" too?
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt: | Code: | combined_mode= [HW] control which driver uses IDE ports in combined
mode: legacy IDE driver, libata, or both (in the libata case,
libata.atapi_enabled=1 may be useful as well). Note that using the
ide or libata options may affect your device naming (e.g. by changing
hdc to sdb).
Format: combined (default), ide, or libata |
)

wynn,
When you choose the PIX SATA driver in the kernel, you get combined for free too.
You will need to look with make xconfig or in the .config file itself to see it.

Yes, I saw SATA_INTEL_COMBINED which (your "for free"?) is selected automatically | Code: | | depends on IDE=y && !BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA && (SATA_AHCI || ATA_PIIX) |
though, it seems, you must have "ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support" selected to get "IDE=y".
In looking around for libata, I saw combined= and just wondered if it was relevant.

wynn,
Well spotted. I missed the need to have IDE=Y.
Yes, thats my for free. This is one of the examples where you should never edit .config by hand as one kernle config option can change several flags in the .config file.

Well, while you're here, Neddy, thanks for the tip | Quote: | Use google, not Quick Search - put site:forums.gentoo.org in googles search box, after your search terms to restrict the search. Like this | Code: | | ICH7 +DMA site:forums.gentoo.org |
|
and all the other tips, like "nopaste" that I've picked up from your posts.

So, does this mean that I should install ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL Support after all?
EDIT: By the way, just to make sure I'm not missing anything, my lspci is like so:
| Code: |

Is there anything else I'll need? The JMicron IDE interface looks like it could need some extra stuff. Pretty much everything else works but I haven't tested the card Ricoh reader or firewire yet.

No, (I believe) it was just for the case where there is a single Intel SATA controller which has to provide both IDE and SATA.

...
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)
04:00.0 IDE interface: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 02)
...
05:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8110SC/8169SC Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
|
Is there anything else I'll need? The JMicron IDE interface looks like it could need some extra stuff. Pretty much everything else works but I haven't tested the card Ricoh reader or firewire yet. |
The Intel 82801GBM/GHM SATA support is provided by ata_piix under "Serial ATA ...", JMicron 20360/20363 support is provided by pata_jmicron in the same group. There is also an old PATA driver, jmicron, under ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL if the new PATA one doesn't work.
Firewire should be generic (I think), the Intel Wireless 3945ABG you will have to dig through the Forums for. NeddySeagoon's tip using " 3945 site:forums.gentoo.org" with Google should make it painless (had to try the tip, found ipw3945 wireless drivers which says ther's an ebuild)
The driver for Realtek's RTL-8110SC/8169SC is r8169.
I think you know your way around menuconfig so you shouldn't need more detail, should you?

However, if you are: the libata module parameter atapi_enable has been set to 1 (on) by default in the code since 2.6.16 so it doesn't look as if adding libata.atapi_enabled=1 to the kernel command line changes anything, would you like to try booting without it and see if DMA still works? |
YUP, true
Yo don't need the libata.atapi_enabled=1, it works fine without |

Well, the main reason I want this solved is that, after a while, hald freezes the ENTIRE system, taking up all the ram and 100% on both CPUs, and spamming dmesg with this:

ignore the ipw3945 line, that works fine. I won't tinker with that... what bothers me is the hdd status stuff. That could definitely be a problem...

The best reference I can find on this is [SEMI-SOLVED] hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }Error which seems to point to hald as the culprit.
What kernel release are you running? The JMicron code has had a lot of changes recently.
