(Corrected now.) In other words: I also get these warnings with 2.6.20.2-4-default, both installed system and installer cd. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It actually appears to be the same error I've told you about in San Jose, but of course never managed to followup upon. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=258256 ------- Comment #5 from teheo@novell.com 2007-04-03 09:28 MST ------- Created an attachment (id=128606) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=128606&action=view) piix-vmw-ign-DMA-err And it was rotting in my todo list, of course. Sorry about that. I digged it a bit and it turns out vmware IDE controller emulation is wrong. It sets DMA error bit which indicates host (PCI) bus error when device reports error. So, any DMA ATAPI commands which raises CHECK CONDITION ends up setting the bit and libata correctly interprets the error as data transfer failure on the host bus, so all the messy messages. This should be fixed by vmware. The spec is pretty clear about what the error bit means and no real ATA controller gets this wrong. The attached patch fixes the problem but I'm not sure whether committing this is the right thing to do. I think asking VMware to fix this is better. Do we have a VMware contact? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It is fixed in Workstation 6.0 rc1, but currently there is no plan to fix this bug in older products (like WS5.5.x, ESX3.0.x). Should I escalate this?

I'm perfectly okay with that but not so sure if I'll be able to sell it upstream, so if it isn't too much trouble, please fix this in the released products. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
