Installer also hangs on my system but when loading the SATA_SIL module and
displays a message about disabling interupt #10.

My system is based on an Intel SE7505VB2 server board.

This problem is also reported in bug number 151347 but filed against the kernel
rather than anaconda.

Comment 2 Marius Andreiana 2005-04-18 10:56:45 UTC

FYI, I installed FC4t2 on SATA hdd booting from hda hdd with intel i865 chipset
on Gigabyte mb.

I have this machine in Red Hat QA.  Latest rawhide-20050426/i386 hangs when
loading ata_piix driver.  FC4-re0425.0/i386/i386 shows the same problem.

On console 4 I see the following:

<7>libata version 1.10 loaded.
<7>ata_piix version 1.03
<4>ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.2[C]: no GSI - using IRQ 3
<7>PCUL Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.2 to 64
<6>ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xDCF0 ctl 0xDCEA bmdma 0xDC40 irq 3
<6>ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xDC58 ctl 0xDCE2 bmdma 0xDC48 irq 3
<7>ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:3469 83:7f61 84:4003 85:3469 86:3c41 87:4003 88:7f
<6>ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 488281250 sectors: lba48

Whats odd is that RHEL4-U1-re0425.nightly/i386/i386-AS works fine on this
machine.  I checked the versions of libata and ata_piix and they are the same
according to dmesg.  RHEL4 prints the same lines as above with these appended:

libata version 1.10 loaded.
ata_piix version 1.03

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2005-06-27 23:24:15 UTC

Mass update of -test bugs to update version to fc4.
(Please retest on final release, and report results if you have not already done
so).

Thanks.

Comment 5 Paul Wouters 2005-06-28 02:41:33 UTC

unfortunately, the machine is now in production 6000km away from me. I cannot
help you test anything with it anymore.

Comment 6 David Bentley 2005-07-04 21:20:13 UTC

I still see exactlly the same symptom as descibed in comment #1 with FC4 FINAL.

Also see my comments on bug 151347.
