What should we infer from these messages from eide driver  
Hello All ,

We are getting these message from the eide driver when we are running our control  application which does and logging to
 the hardisk . We see this when we  run sloginfo 

Jan 26 09:38:26    2    19     0 eide_reset:  complete 301 ms
Jan 26 09:38:26    2    19     0 eide_init_devices: WDC WD3000HLFS-01G6U0 path 0

Jan 26 09:39:00    2    19     0 eide_reset:  complete 301 ms

these messages repeat  almost ever 12 seconds ,  we are running on intel atmo processor .

Can any body tell me what the meaning of these messages, are and is it normal to see this messages or does it point to 
any  potential problems .

Appreciate your help .

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I have seen these on our systems too. It's been some time since then, but there were 2 occasions I remember.

- Running unicore kernel on multicore CPU ... switching to smp kernel solved the problem
- Running SATA ports in EIDE mode ... switching to AHCI mode and using devb-ahci solved the problem again

Re: What should we infer from these messages from eide driver  
Hello pavol ,

how do we switch to achci mode and start the dev-ahci driver , should that be part of the boot image or is there any 
start up script file in which we can start the devb-ahci driver .

appreciate your reponse

Hello,

Switching to AHCI mode could be probably done in your system BIOS.

In your boot file/script you should change devb-eide to devb-ahci. If you are using qnx supplied boot images for x86 
platform, it should autodetect proper driver.
