Description Brian Daniels 2004-11-18 01:37:18 UTC

Description of problem: Did a yum update and got kernel
2.6.9-1.678_FC3.  On reboot kernel no longer finds my sata drives,
resulting in system panic.  Had to reboot back to 2.6.9-1.667 which
finds them just fine.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.9-1.678_FC3.

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install 2.6.9-1.678_FC3 on a nVidia nForce3 based mb
2. reboot
3. system will not find sata drives and panics
  
Actual results:
panic  (and shock, and annoyance)

Expected results:
normal boot

Additional info:
Motherboard is a MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum with an Athlon 64 CPU.  Kernel 
2.6.9-1.667 works fine on this system.

I have this same motherboard with the v1.2 BIOS. I need to update it
to the v1.3 BIOS. Both my hard drives are connected to the SATA ports.
I'm seeing a different stream of messages. To wit:

kernel panic involving atkbd.c, message is:

atkbd.c: spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program, like XFree86,
might be trying to access hardware directly.

The above message echos to the console endlessly. The only way to stop
it is to push the machine's reset button.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (90 nm)

RAM: 2 Gb

Comment 2 Brian Daniels 2004-11-18 03:07:29 UTC

I should have noted that.  After the panic because root cannot be
found my system goes into the atkbd.c: spurious ACK endless messages also.

See bug 139674.
