Description Marcel Ziswiler 2005-07-23 22:32:04 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
Upon boot I get a strange message as follows right after 'Red Hat nash version 4.1.18 starting':
^[[18~ata5: disabling port
Looking at the syslog reveals that sata_promise gets an abnormal status and disables the PATA port.
The prior kernel does not seem to have done anything with the PATA port at all.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3 on x86_64.
2. Reboot.
3. Observe '^[[18~ata5: disabling port' message at boot.
4. Check syslog for 'abnormal status' and 'disabling port' messages.

Actual Results:  The syslog reveals the following:
sata_promise version 1.01
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0d.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 177
sata_promise PATA port found
ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFFFFC2000001A200 ctl 0xFFFFC2000001A238 bmdma 0x0

ata4: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133
scsi3 : sata_promise
ATA: abnormal status 0x8 on port 0xFFFFC2000001A31C
ata5: disabling port

Expected Results:  I never got any such message before with kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3, syslog excerpt follows:
sata_promise version 1.01
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0d.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 177

ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFFFFC2000001A280 ctl 0xFFFFC2000001A2B8 bmdma 0x0

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2006-01-16 22:24:24 UTC
This is a mass-update to all currently open Fedora Core 3 kernel bugs.

Fedora Core 3 support has transitioned to the Fedora Legacy project.
Due to the limited resources of this project, typically only
updates for new security issues are released.

As this bug isn't security related, it has been migrated to a
Fedora Core 4 bug.  Please upgrade to this newer release, and
test if this bug is still present there.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

Thank you.

This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

Thank you.
