Erorr Message: HDC: Lost Interrupt

[JockVSJock]

Whenever using XMMS to play oggs/mp3s from a mounted
cdrom, XMMS will stop playing and do nothing. I
cannot kill the process, or umount. I have to reboot
to fix it.

Using clt+alt and F1, I get out of the GUI, get a
login screen, login in and get this error:

HDC: Lost Interrupt.

Google the output and get this website

http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/...interrupt.html


I check my /proc/interrupts


CPU0
0: 10307351 XT-PIC timer
1: 12545 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
3: 123161 XT-PIC SiS 7018 PCI Audio,

14: 82148 XT-PIC ide0
15: 115332 XT-PIC ide1

Looks like I have ide0 and ide1 being used...and ide1
is using IRQ15, which is right, correct?


...and then check my /proc/ioports and get

I have ide1 listed twice.
0170-0177 : ide1
0376-0376 : ide1

Is this right?


Further on, this website advices to add
"ide1=0x170,0x376,14" to the kernel command line to
stop this error.

I am not totally sure I understand how to do this or
why ide1 is showing up twice under /proc/ioports.
Could someone shed more light on this for me.

thanks

I had this problem before, it bothered me for the longest time. If you have recently compiled a kernel you might try enableing multi-mode by default, in the ide device section. With the chipsets and everything.
You might also check your bios and see if you have ide prefetch enabled, that caused alot of problems like this with my via chipset based motherboard.

Two Things:

1. I checked my BIOS and I didn't see an option to kill ide prefetched enabled, is there anything else that I should look for?

2. How do I enable multi-mode on my kernel for the ide section?

thanks

[Tully]

If you didn't see a section for ide prefetch mode, then I don't guess its adjustable on your motherboard,
to enable multi-mode you need to recompile your kernel
its in the ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support section of menuconfig. It is
in the ide section and its labeled Use multi-mode by default.

These are the only things I can think of off the top of my head.
Hope something helps you a little

hello,
per that web site i would add this to lilo or grub
ide1=0x170,0x376,15

for lilo add an appand line - there is an example in the ide cdwriter here
http://www.linuxjunior.org/cgi-bin/p...splay&id=8

to pass stuff to the kernel in grub do this:

This example also has options passed to the kernel, unlike LILO which requires the word append GRUB simply has options listed after the kernel listed - but on the same line. The line in the example GRUB file has the options to use SCSI emulation for two hard drives.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-3 ro root=/dev/hdb1 hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi

Ok, I am not sure about this, but how do i know which one I am using, grub or lilo?

They both appear under my /etc directory.

thanks

what distro

My bad, RH 8.0.

hello,
you would be using grub unless you did something different at install time, you propably did not, i am guessing the line should look much like this:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-6 ro root=/dev/hdb1 ide1=0x170,0x376,15

[JockVSJock]

I am not very familiar with grub, so which one do I want to change? The one under /etc/grub.conf or boot/grub/grub.conf?

This is what my grub.conf looks like:

 
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to 
this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-26.8.0)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-26.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-26.8.0.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img

So, I probably need to modify the lines with title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-26.8.0) and add after the line

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-26.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ ide1=0x170,0x376,15

Is this correct?

thanks
