Description Andrew D Kirch 2006-04-06 07:31:59 UTC

I have a Syba CF to native IDE adapter (model SD CF IDE DI) and am attempting to partition the 512MB CF card.  I ran shred on the CF card (-n 1 -z) and then cfdisk.   The card shred'd and fdisked normally.  Attempting to run mke2fs or mkreiserfs failed.  Rebooting and rerunning cfdisk shows the partition structure, however mke2fs and mkreiserfs will not execute, and any attempt to use them will exit with the error "hda:<4>hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21".   In the bios I then set udma to off and multiword dma to 0.  I booted the gentoo amd64 install cd (full) with the option "ide=nodma".  I am still getting the above erorrs, a log of which can be found at: http://pastebin.com/642483.  System hardware is Sempron 3100(64 bit) and Asus K8N.

This has been tested and works without error in Knoppix 4.0.2.  

Emerge -info is irrelevent as this bug occurs before inital mounting of harddrives during installation.

tested on:
install-amd64-universal-2006.0.iso  
install-x86-minimal-2006.0.iso
