Switching component to kernel. This sounds like a problem with the kernel ide shutdown code. The kernel, after all commands have been flushed to a device, then powers the device down in the 2.6 kernel series. I'm guessing that the controller in question doesn't spin the drives back up and needs the reset button stuff to work. I'm guessing that actually powering the system down instead, which causes all the drives to spin up on power up would work just fine. In any case, this bug properly belongs to the owner of the Fedora kernel package, not raidtools. You are very right. I tested once again with poweroff, instead of reboot. It worked with no problems. Can you tell me if this is going to be solved as soon as posible? thank you Try the test kernels here: http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel/ Dragos, have you tried a recent Fedora Core 2 update kernel? (The latest right now is 2.6.6-1.435.2.3.) Let us know if that fixes the problem. hello, sorry for the late comment. it works like a charm. the problem is solved. thank you! In that case, you should close (resolve) the bug, perhaps as "ERRATA". thanx once again |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: I have installed Fedora Core 2 on the following system: 1. Athlon XP 2500+ 2. 1GB RAM 3. 4xMaxtor 6Y160P0 4. Asus A7N8X-X ACPI BIOS Rev007 5. SiI 0680 ATA/133 Medley RAID Controller Bios Version 3.2.10 Because there is no driver for this raid controller, I have chosen software raid (3 in RAID 1, 1 as boot hdd). After I do a reboot from OS (reboot command or CTRL-ALT-DEL) my raid controller cannot view all hard disks. In fact it sees none. I must press restart button 4 times in order to view all the hard disks. After each restart it sees one more hdd. If I press restart button in grub (waiting to boot Fedora) there are no problems. I have installed Fedora Core 1 on the same box with the same RAID configuration, and there was no problem. So I cannot see if there is a Kernel (2.6.5) problem or raidtools. Please notice I have tried RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 5 and all have the same result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.00.3-8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fedora core 2 on a box that has SiI 0680 Medley ATA/133 BIOS 3.2.10 RAID controller 2. Use software RAID 3. Reboot system using reboot Actual Results: the thing in DESCRIPTION Expected Results: normal reboot Additional info: Please notice that, in my opinion, this is a severe bug because if this box must poweroff or reboot there must be somebody pushing the restart button 4 times so the OS can start.
