"hdc: lost interrupt"

philetus · 05-05-2005, 12:54 PM

hi,

I recently installed gentoo with kernel 2.6.11-gentoo, and the hard drive frequently hangs on reads for several seconds, and afterwards there is the following message in the log:

Code:

any suggestions? here is the contents of /proc/interrupts and /proc/io:

This is certainly not a good thing. It appears as though your hard drive controller is dropping interrupts: is your IDE controller on-motherboard?

philetus · 05-05-2005, 01:03 PM

I think the ide controller *is* on the motherboard. here is the output of lspci:

I am pretty sure all of the SiS stuff is on the motherboard. do you think that is relevant to the problem?

Matir · 05-05-2005, 01:41 PM

It could be hardware, but you may want to look into this: http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/...interrupt.html

eantoranz · 05-05-2005, 02:13 PM

In my experience, the HD is fried.

philetus · 05-05-2005, 02:21 PM

I already looked at the greenend link, I don't seem to have an entry in /proc/interrupts for ide1?

the drive works fine in windows, so I am fairly confident that it is not a hardware problem.

eantoranz · 05-05-2005, 02:30 PM

mmmmmmmmmmm......... Sure it's not the HD?.... I had that same feeling with a WD HD (Just remembering it, I get sick).

I could use windows.... but linux?.. a nightmare! I tried mounting with sync... and that kept it from getting trashy... but It was a total pain in the @$$. Once in a while, I got a HD problem. I even blamed the motherboard (it was a cheap PCChips motherboard). Then I got a MCI motherboard... and the truth hit me like a brick wall. Once I got a new HD... it all became "the past".

Matir · 05-05-2005, 02:31 PM

Well, ide1 would be a secondary controller: ide0 is the primary. Similar deal.

eantoranz · 05-05-2005, 03:17 PM

Matir.... you following me?

Matir · 05-05-2005, 03:45 PM

Nope, just trying to help in those rare situations where i know something

eantoranz · 05-05-2005, 03:46 PM

Don't say that, Oh, guru of SCSI!

Matir · 05-05-2005, 03:58 PM

LOL. I wish I were quite a guru.

philetus · 05-05-2005, 06:34 PM

I figured out what was wrong, I just had generic ide support enabled, when I turned off generic ide support and turned on support for my SiS ide controller and recompiled my kernel everything got better.

Matir · 05-05-2005, 08:33 PM

Glad that you were able to take care of it!

Can someone give me some details about how to switch the controller. I am having similar problems with SiS motherboard components.

Thanks,
