Description Jérôme Benoit 2007-09-20 18:10:15 UTC 
Description of problem:

Install or simply boot with a PATA device on the on board PATA chipset is
freezing (tested with a CD player or a DVD player).   

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 or
kernel-2.6.22.5-76.fc7

on F7 i386 and x86_64

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Having the hardware (see http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/DG33TL/
for more information)
2. Wait for pata_it821x to load with a PATA device connected on the PATA chipset.

  
Actual results:

Freeze during pata_it821x module loading.  

Expected results:

No freeze.

Additional info:

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298631 for additional info
(kernel parameters to boot on this machine, etc.).

Probably an other bug report will follow about the slowness of the F7 x86_64
version an other day ... (raid5 checksumming on x86_64 kernel average value is
11 MB/s !)

Will provide sysrq output if i can when i'll find some time to ...

I do not have the time yet to test F8test2 ...

Hello Jérôme,

It would be good to know if F8t2 works although Test 3 is now about to be
released which might be better to test with.

Cheers
Chris

The freeze has disappear with kernel 2.6.22.9. The DVD player is working. I will
let you know if the kernel 2.6.23.1 in testing is still working.

Cheers.

I'm closing this bug because it's fixed in Fedora 8.
