Hey everybody,

Im having a tough time getting one machine working. The system will freeze and I get this in the kern.log:

Aug 20 16:02:44 localhost kernel: ide0: reset: success
Aug 20 16:03:04 localhost kernel: hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21
Aug 20 16:03:19 localhost kernel: hda: DMA timeout error
Aug 20 16:03:19 localhost kernel: hda: dma timeout error: status=0x58 {
DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
Aug 20 16:03:19 localhost kernel:
Aug 20 16:03:19 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Aug 20 16:03:19 localhost kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
Aug 20 16:03:19 localhost kernel:
Aug 20 16:03:19 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Aug 20 16:03:19 localhost kernel: ide0: reset: success

I've replaced the hard drive, but every drive gives the same error. What else can I check or replace to fix this?

Thanks Dudes!
