 Mobo/har drive or OS problem RE: Redhat 8
I've been having some trouble with my pc
randomly rebooting. It had been pretty stable since Monday. today it rebooted. It didn't detected the hard drive so I went into the bios did auto detect and no problem. I save and exited the BIOS.
During the Linux boot up process this happend
not to the exact but from my notes:
"
Time out waiting for DMA
Ide_dmaproc chipset supported idedma time out func only 14
I/O error dev sector 1050508 ‘ this number would change during each loop
Irq timeout status 0xd0 status {busy}
Drive not ready for command
Reset successful
"
This became a loop and it kept doing this each time I rebooted I'd have to go back into bios and re auto detected the the about happened again.
I am running a full hard drive diagnostic to rule that out. *update after running both quick and extended no errors were returned on the WD hard drive.
I got it to boot properly after 3 trys.
It happened once before but only took one reboot.
Any ideas?
It is a SOYO mobo K7vem pro
I am currently resolving issues with them via email but wanted to get your take on it.
Thanks

Another suggestion I read is to disable DMA. Either use the following command: hdparm -d 0
Or disable it in the kernel.
More searching shows this problem is very, very common. Essentially, besides that cryptic suggestion to use an IDE patch (which I can't find) the only way to fix it is to disable DMA.
