Description Gwendolen 2006-09-09 08:38:50 UTC

Description of problem:
When using rawhide 20060908 on an IBM R52 anaconda hangs after loading modules

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.1.0.94-1
kernel-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from iso or use initrd/vmlinuz
  
Actual results:
Kernel boots, anaconda starts, loads `ohci' then `ahci' then hangs

Comment 1 Gwendolen 2006-09-10 22:38:02 UTC

Current rawhide (20060910) fixes this.

Comment 2 Gwendolen 2006-09-12 22:08:32 UTC

Problem is back in rawhide 20060912.  

Several attempts using rawhide from in between days were all successful.

Comment 3 Gwendolen 2006-09-14 07:22:43 UTC

While playing around I noticed on one of the tty's before it locked up that
device 0000:00:1f.2 "failed with error -12"

Comment 4 Gwendolen 2006-09-21 05:44:43 UTC

Changed summary and component.

Exact error on tty4 is:

  ahci 0000:00:1f.2 version 2.0
  ahci: probe of 0000:00:1f.2 failed with error -12

Kernel 2.6.17-1.2647.fc6 boots fine.

Comment 5 Gwendolen 2006-09-21 05:46:59 UTC

Do'h!  Might help if I reassign to the right people.

Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-21 12:45:34 UTC

The problem is that the kernel is saying that the PCI id is supported by both
ahci and ata_piix so it's a tossup as to which gets loaded by anaconda -- the
hang then shouldn't occur.

This seems to be happening with a lot more frequency this time around... I'm
wondering what's changed in sata land to be tickling this more

Comment 7 Carl Henrik Lunde 2006-09-25 00:09:04 UTC

I have the same problem on my Dell Precision M20.  Same message on tty4, and my
lspci-output is the same.  FC6 Test 3.

Comment 8 Gwendolen 2006-09-25 00:29:06 UTC

Being that this is not an uncommon chipset I'm adding it to FC6KernelBlocker.

/me wants FC6 goodness too.

Comment 9 Carl Henrik Lunde 2006-09-25 10:41:55 UTC

This may have been fixed by bug #195779 - however I'm not sure how to verify
that it works now.

Comment 10 Gwendolen 2006-09-28 00:42:13 UTC

Carl is correct, the fix for bug #195779 seems to coincide with this working for
me again.
