Hi

i bought a 4801 about a month ago and have finally found the time to set
it up.
anyhow wenn doing some disk activity i always get the following error on
the serial console before the soekris locks up:
 hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x01
 hda: DMA timeout error
 ide_dma_end dma_stat=1 err=1 newerr=0

the question is now, where to start looking for the error?
(the disk, a hitachi IC25N040ATMR04-0 _should_ be ok, until a month ago
it was working in my laptop and it hasnt seen any 24/7 activity yet in
the soekris and it doesnt geht hot either)

it currently runs debian sarge with a 2.6.17.6 kernel

does anybody have any ideas where to start looking for the problem?

tia

yours
albert
