Some more precisions :
I have recompiled my own kernel, and now it works !
i downloaded kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.src.rpm, made a rpmbuild -bp
and recompiled the result after changing some options :
- select Pentium M processor ( CONFIG_MPENTIUMM=y )
- add NTFS filesystem ( CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m )
- set CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y
- set CONFIG_CODA_FS_OLD_API ( i need this for davfs2 !, thank you to add
now CODA by default ! )
i do not think the above is important, but the following yes !
- set the IDE subsystem as module ( CONFIG_IDE=m, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=m )
- modified libata.h ( #define ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI and #define ATA_ENABLE_PATA )
recompiled , and it works !
i allways make the ide and libata modification for each new kernel on my
inspiron 9300, if not, the dvd does not work with dma, it's painfully slow !
Best Regards !
I had a similar problem with sata_via and a boot raid1 partition. I cannot confirm the workaround, since I chose to stay at 2.6.13. please capture the messages before the line.. mount: error 6 mounting ext3 does booting with the parameter hda=noprobe fix this ? the complete message before the crash is : Booting 'Fedora Core (2.6.13-1.1526_FC4)' root (hd0,1) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 ro root=/dev/sda2 rhgb quiet [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1b6885] initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.img [Linux_initrd @ 0x2fe9d000, 0x12c6dc bytes] Uncompressing Linux...

I'll be interested if you can give an easiest way ! Best Regards I tried both fixes (hda=noprobe and Daniel's CONFIG_IKCONFIG*=y) and... nothing works on my machine. I have exactly this problem (my system is a Dell Latitude D810). The hda=noprobe workaround works for me. I seem to have the same or a similar problem with kernel 1526 on a Toshiba A75-S231, but hda=noprobe des not wortk and I do get a few more messages at boot. Uncompressing linux...

I just found another bug that looks similar... #169675. I tried disabling hyperthreading in my BIOS as was mentioned in that bug and it allowed the kernel to boot. I also started experiencing similar issues after upgrading to 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 on my IBM TP 600E (PIIX4 IDE controller, and Pentium II, so no hyperthreading there). The system worked fine with 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4. If I boot with the usual options, I get dma timeouts, identical to the ones reported in bug #132584 (the top few lines are there just as indication for where it happens in the boot rpocess but I don' think I transcribed them correctly) Switching root unmounting /dev/console input: ps/2 mouse detected hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21 hda: DMA timeout error hda: dma timeout error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest } ide: failed opcode was: unknown I tried hda=noprobe, but that gives me the kernel panic reported in comment #5 and hda=nodma gives me the dma timeouts again. I have two Dell Precision 350 workstations and a Precision 360 which show the same symptom as the original poster (error 6 mounting ext3 etc.) on the 2.6.13 kernel. hda=noprobe doesn't help, which didn't surprise me as these systems have SCSI disks. On the other hand, two Dell Precision 450 systems (dual Xeons) work fine with the current 2.6.13 release. Here's the complete error output, hand transcribed: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. hda: No disk in drive Red Hat nash version 4.2.15 starting Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... hda: No disk in drive No volume groups found hda: No disk in drive Unable to find volume group "VolGroup00" ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally with value 5 ! (pid 359) mount: error 6 mounting ext3 following which the same messages appear as above. It hangs on my Dell Ispiron 5150 just after printing: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Sorry, that should have read: It hangs on my Dell Ispiron 5150 just after printing: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. I'm using the SMP package kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4. My 5150 has a Pentium IV with HT. kernel-smp-2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 works fine. The latest update kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 still gives me the same problems on my TP 600E as in comment #10 updating to kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 fix the problem for the inspiron 9300 ! ( don't crash any more, but still does not use DMA on the cd/dvd ) My problem with this kernel turns out to be a rearrangement of the MPT SCSI driver between 2.6.12 and 2.6.13, with the result that the needed modules were not making it into the initrd. I found the fix at http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=387546, and used the following command to build a new RAM disk: /sbin/mkinitrd --preload mptbase --preload mptscsih --preload mptspi --preload mptfc /boot/initrd-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.preload-scsi.img 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 (substitute your kernel version). This fixed my 350 and 360 Dell workstations. |
