It must be a data transfer problem. After shortening the UltraATA cable from 24" to 12" I turned on again UDMA Mode 2. It works well since five hours. I only get a nfsserver failure during bootup with kernel 2.4.2:
Starting kernel based NFS serverlockdsvc: Invalid argument .....failed
Its a bug in the startup script, redirect the stderr in rcnfsserver: checkproc -n lockd || \ /usr/sbin/rpc.lockd 2>/dev/null
and a few new kernel messages:
May 9 19:46:46 MacHu8 inetd[395]: swat/tcp (2): bind: Address already in use May 9 19:47:37 MacHu8 /usr/sbin/gpm[637]: Error in protocol
I have these messages from time to time, but the mouse still works. I will try to track it down.
I'm not sure why this cable shortening works. Why should a longer cable support one UDMA/33 drive and another on the same cable won't work? And what about my CMD646? In which way is it broken?
This statement was not clear enough. The cmd646 controller is hard to support and didnt work very well with 2.2.r 2.2.18 doesnt work at all here, 2.4 seems to work fine. I have no idea about the cable lenght, sorry. But if it solves your problem... Gruss Olaf -- $ man clone BUGS Main feature not yet implemented...
