If the device experiences an IDE DMA timeout, some processes become unresponsive and the kernel logs messages containing 'DMA timeout error' in kern.log. An unfulfilled request from the kernel of the IDE device might result in uninterruptible, stuck processes.
This condition can cause the i/o request to never complete and result in unresponsive and uninterruptible processes. Various symptoms result depending on the affected process. Some conditions might require a power cycle to correct.
This occurs on VIPRION B4100/B4100N (A100), B4200/B4200N (A107) blades and on Virtual Edition (VE) configurations deployed with IDE storage drivers (Xen, Hyper-V).
