 Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2006 9:17 pm Post subject: hdparm-6.3: HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Invalid argument [solved] |
 |
|
| Code: | # /etc/init.d/hdparm restart
* Service hdparm stopping
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.
* Service hdparm stopped
* Service hdparm starting
HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Invalid argument
* Service hdparm started |
Look at the lines
HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR failed: Invalid argument
HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Invalid argument
| Code: | # hdparm /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
multcount = 16 (on)
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 1 (on)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
geometry = 16383/255/63, sectors = 156301488, start = 0 |
| Code: | # grep -v "#" /etc/conf.d/hdparm
hda_args="-c1 -A1 -B255 -M254 -m16"
all_args="-d1 -u1" |
These error messages are since the last update, before this config was working.

paoleela,
If you set your kernel up correctly you do noy need hdparm to set DMA an all those other good things.
unmaskirq is a Bad Thing(tm) unless you are uing unbuffered serial ports. It allows other IRQs to be serviced during the HDD IRQ, when the system s really busy, you may get DMA timeouts and the kernel will turn DMA off.
To know if you need hdparm or not I need to see your lspci output and the IDE section of your kernel .config file,

Why is unmasq IRQ bad? Every hdparm howto tells that and also the gentoo Installation guides.
Unmasq IRQ and setting dma by hdparm was working right before the update and is still working on my x86 system.

paoleela,
What arch are you on - at first sight there are some options missing but I need to look at the kernel config for your arch.
My defualt x86 won't help

It's ppc32/G3. I didn't change the kernel before these messages.

paoleela,
Unmasking IRQ was intended to allow the orignial serial UARTS (with no FIFIOs) to intrrupt ongoing hard drive Interrupts.
These days, UARTS, if they are used at all, have FIFOs, so its not required. It was a hack to avoild lost characters.
When the unmasked IRQs are used for other things, it can extend the time taken to service the HDD IRQ to the point where you get a time out and the kernel reverts to PIO mode. So UnmaskIRQ is a bad thing now.
It looks like you have the IDE chip set sepecific code missing from your kernel
lspci will tell you waht that is. You need to rebuild your kernel though because it cannot be a module

Again:
Doing myself as root: | Code: | | hdparm -d1 -u1 -c1 -A1 -B255 -M254 -m16 /dev/hda |
works perfectly. It's just about the conf.d script that gives error messages.

| Really seems like a script problem, what about rm /etc/conf.d/hdparm and rm /etc/init.d/hdparm then ermere sync and emerge -C hdparm and emerge hdparm then configure the /etc/conf.d/hdparm? In short, reinstall it all? |

Of course I aldready reinstalled it, but without -C. It should get overwritten with emerge. | Code: | # cat /etc/conf.d/hdparm

# You can either set hdparm arguments for each drive using hdX_args,
# discX_args, cdromX_args and genericX_args, e.g.
#
hda_args="-c1 -A1 -B255 -M254 -m16"
# disc1_args="-d1"
# cdrom0_args="-d1"
# or, you can set hdparm options for ALL drives using all_args, e.g.
#
all_args="-d1 -u1" |

Try emerge -C hdparm and see if /etc/init.d/hdparm is still there, as far as I know even though you uninstalled it the script is still there, just a guess but I don't think it get's overwritten, it helped me in the past with package like boinc.
Else I'll re-check in the kernel if in Device Drivers / ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL you have your chipset active in it, or what about " Enable DMA only for disks" ? Try checking it or disabling it (mine is disabled) |

Yea, but I replaced the init script afterwards with etc-update.

I switched now to ~ppc sys-apps/hdparm-6.6, but it's still the same. | Code: | marialin ~ # /etc/init.d/hdparm restart

Wow, I never realized that only sda makes that error and that /dev/sda is a firewire device.
-> [ solved ]
