As I noted in my linux-kernel post and status report, SMART support is still experimental. There are some problems that must be fixed before it can be merged into mainline. Actually I think it is a ICH5-R http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/bz/index.htm .. there are all the details for my exact motherboard. http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/manuals/sata/cuda7200_sata_pm.pdf here is the info for the harddrives. ok, understood. However that it still looks really unprofessional to have something fail on boot when its not a failure at all. How does it react to a system that has both IDE and SATA drives in it? Will it not fail if some of the drives had SMART support? Eitherway, this should be resolved before FC3 ships whether it checks to see if there are only SATA drives and doesn't attempt to load, or it loads and ignores SATA controllers/drives. I'll post the exact message errors I see tonight when I get home. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 145596 *** This was incorrectly marked as a dup of a RHEL3 bug. Fixing. is this going to make it into FC4? Still a problem in final FC3. Changing Version. My question is why is this enabled for run-level 2,3,4,5 ? It doesn't work on my machine and I don't have SATA.. even made sure I had the newest kernel- utils via yum. Beta software on final relase of FC3? That's smart thinking... not. It works wonderfully where it works. Where it doesn't, it's harmless. An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. The 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 kernel does nothing for SATA/SMART. Still broken in 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 . And in 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4: $ /usr/sbin/smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda smartctl version 5.33 [i386-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-4 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Smartctl: Device Read Identity Failed (not an ATA/ATAPI device) A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more '-T permissive' options. $ uname -a Linux tomis.med.virginia.edu 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4smp #1 SMP Thu Oct 20 01:51:51 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux kernel 2.6.15 has smart-over-sata support now. FWIW, "smartctl -d ata" works with FC4 kernel 2.6.15-1.1823_FC4. K.O. FWIW, "smartctl -d ata" works with RHEL4 kernel 2.6.9-27.EL. Thanks to all for getting it fixed, now I can see if any of my SATA disks are overheating. K.O. |
