messages output during boot with the problem occuring

/var/log/messages for kernel 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 when the problem does not occur
This is the section of the messages file when there is no error message on boot
for the previous 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 kernel
In case this is needed the smartd.conf has only one line: /dev/hda -H -m root Correction : In the error message the line "IDE: I/O 0x1F0-0Z1F7 not free" should have been "IDE: I/O 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free" I see that 2.6.14 will be heading to the updates soon so perhaps this will provide a fix. I just tested kernel 2.6.14-1.1633_FC4 from updates testing - the boot problem remains for this laptop (Dell D610). Tried latest test kernel 2.6.14-1.1636_FC4 and the same error message occurs during boot. 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you. Sorry Dave but I have just tested with this 2.6.14-1.1637 kernel and the same error occurs By the way I had also run a yum update to bring the machine fully up to date before each of these tests. So in each case I was fully up to date before re-booting.

Boot messages for kernel 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4
After trying the netdev kernels a few weeks back, and not seeing any difference, I was in contact with the developer of these alternative kernels, and had a useful and interesting discussion concerning the upstream development of SMARTD SATA support in libata. The developer is involved with this aspect of kernel development. Last night I removed the smartd.conf file and then booted onto the latest released kernel ( 2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 ) to check what smartd.conf resulted. The new one that was created during boot contained a line starting with /dev/sda rather than /dev/hda which was there for the previous kernel tests indicated above. I had not picked up from the message files earlier in this posting that in fact the drive was SATA but the smartd.conf file was indicating an IDE drive.... so I was clearly confused previously. I presume that at some point the libata package in the released versions will have smartd support for SATA drives, and come into the FC4 update stream ? Is is there any indication of the timescale ? If not will I have to wait for FC5 ? Once this happens then adding "-d ata" to smartd.conf and to smartctl commands should allow SATA disc monitoring I presume ? Or will SATA support occur without having to change the smartd.conf file generated by default when the new libata is available? Thanks Mike 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. I have now booted with kernel 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4 1) In the messages file I still get the ports message as: Feb 3 16:34:53 lapmike2 kernel: ide0: I/O resource 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free. Feb 3 16:34:53 lapmike2 kernel: ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe However this is not important as an error. 2) On the smartd issue, I have now added -d ata to the smartd.conf file, and there is no longer a failed red line in the graphical boot output. The messages file now shows: Feb 5 18:32:46 lapmike2 smartd[2242]: Device: /dev/sda, opened Feb 5 18:32:46 lapmike2 kernel: pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 Feb 5 18:32:46 lapmike2 kernel: ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C2] C3[C3] C4[C3]) Feb 5 18:32:46 lapmike2 smartd[2242]: Device: /dev/sda, found in smartd databas e.

Feb 5 18:32:46 lapmike2 kernel: isapnp: No Plug & Play device found Feb 5 18:32:46 lapmike2 smartd[2242]: Monitoring 1 ATA and 0 SCSI devices So it boots clean ! Therefore this bug can be closed as the main problem no longer arises with the new kernel - hooray - and thanks to all the kernel development team!! Mike thanks for the update |
