SUBJECT: DMA TimeoutJust started testing this kernel out today. Compiled from the source and the system rebooted effectively under 2.2.21-pre1-xr7.
First thing I noticed was that 'clock --utc -w' actually works! The previous kernel would not let me set the clock, which is a pain since my PS2 clock runs 2-3 seconds slow every day.
Second thing is that while recompiling the kernel/modules during playback of a .wav file (at least this one time) I encountered a DMA error. The hard drive froze with the access light on as the kernel did an 'ide0: reset' and said it succeeded, numerous times. However, the situation did not correct itself and I was forced to physically poweroff the machine with the switch on the back. I had not seen this behavior using the old kernel prior. I'm recompiling the kernel at this point to see if I can get this to happen when not piping anything through /dev/dsp0.
Another thing is that /dev/mouse (which points to /dev/usbmouse0) says 'No such device'. I did ensure that USB Mouse was enabled in the kernel config menu, and I even remade the node using Major,Minor: 180,16 as indicated in the Documentation/devices.txt directory. However that didn't help either. Anyone know what the new device is?
Thanks for the help! I'll let you know if I find anything else weird in this kernel vers.
