I have been getting the same DMA_INT errors starting with 7.2 (with the stock SuSE 7.2 kernel.. whatever that was) and again with 7.3 on the 2.4.10-4GB kernel.
Specifically... ----------------------------- Dec 28 18:40:18 linux kernel: hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Dec 28 18:40:18 linux kernel: hdb: dma_intr: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } -----------------------------
This is not a unique problem. If you do a Google search with either of the errors, you will come up with lots of hits.. and lots of suggestions. The general agreement is hardware issues... although, I have to agree... I can't imagine that everyone's hardware is all failing at the same time... all over the world. Hmm that's one for the conspiracy theorists ;-)
I replaced the ribbon cables and that reduced the number of these errors in my log files, but did not eliminate them. I noted some postings suggesting that having a CDROM slaved to a HD may cause some of these errors.
C.
This is the third or forth report which includes dma_intr errors. I really doubt that everyone's hardware is failing at the same time. My questions is wether everyone who are getting these errors are running the same kernel.
I get these errors on boot up and I am running the 2.4.16-4GB kernel.
Anyone else?

Speculation at this point, most of the kernels that are made by Hubert are sound, common source with the patches from Andrea and the other branches IA-64 Zseries etc). Anything for the IDE I suspect would be fom Andre Hedrick, and his code is usually sound, well he is the ATA guy :~)
So, my issues with IDE drives are bad HW, not SW.
