Same motherboard, similar problems: 1) Booting the succesful install of FC2 (the was done in ATA mode only) while SATA enabled freezes after a message about audit sucessful. 2) Booting the installation DVD gives me a bunch of errors after properly detecting my SATA hde drive, it then looks for hdg and never finds it. Gives a bingh of error messages at that point, stalls a bit, and goes on. 3) After this, DVD boot continues and takes me all the way to the GUI page where the install disk is selected. I try to install over my successful installation (in the hope it will add the ide controller somehow), I get an error that my swap partition has not been initialized, and I am asked to reboot. Notes: - my HD is an ATA drive used with Abit's Serillel 2 adapter - Windows XP Pro "dual boots" fine on this machine - hda1: master ATA DVD drive - hde1: master SATA hard drive Update on my actual error messages:
Booting old install:
Uncompressing Linux:... Ok, booting the kernel
audit(1086429878.4294969723:0): initialized
then freezes
Booting DVD:

SiI3112 Serial ATA: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:01:0b.0
SiI3112 Serial ATA: chipset revision 2
SiI3112 Serial ATA: 100% native mode on irq 11

ide3: MMIO-DMA, BIOS settings: hdg: pio, hdh: pio
hde: Maxtor 6Y160P0, ATA Disk Drive

hdg: no response (Status: 0xfe)
hdg: no response (Status: 0xfe), resetting drive
hdg: no response (Status: 0xfe)
and it does this a bunch of times before going on with the booting,
but the drive is not working properly.
FYI, the SATA Raid BIOS version is 4.2.47
Same problem here, even though I was able to use the hard drive after the initial delay. Symptoms: - First disk found - Probes for second disk - gives hdg: no response a couple of times - floods the logs with hde: sata_error = 0x00000000, watchdog = 0, siimage_mmio_ide_dma_test_irq messages Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux; de, de_DE@euro) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: When booting from either install cd-1, boot cd or rescue cd, the system freezes when the kernel tries to initialize the serial-ata controller. I have an Abit NF7-S v2.0 (bought in the UK) motherboard, that has an nvidia NForce2 Ultra 400 MCP-T chipset) an on-board serial-ata controller (the manual says it is an Silicon Image Sil 3112A PCI controller). I have no drives connected to that computer. The kernel debug messages do not suggest anything bad happening, I can see that the proper driver gets loaded and displays the normal diag messages, but it does not print any error messages or warning before freezing. I booted from the CDs with no additional kernel options. A possible workaround is to disable the controller in the motherboard's BIOS, then the controller will not be recognized and the install cd will boot properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Buy the motherboard mentioned above 2. Enable the on-board sata-controller in the bios. 3. Watch the system freeze. Actual Results: I see the normal kernel debug messages, telling me that this and that piece of hardware gets initialized. After successfully initializing the main IDE controller, the kernel loads the Sil-sata driver and tries to initialize the SATA controller. I see two or three lines of output then the system freezes. Expected Results: The kernel should either successfully initialise the controller or not load the driver (which is probably buggy or the wrong one for this controller) at all. Additional info:
