Would it be possible to try and reproduce this on a more recent kernel and attach the full dmesg output? Thanks. http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5/206.el5/ Created attachment 432116 [details]
dmesg
Output of 2.6.18-206.el5, as requested.
I have backported this upstream patch to RHEL5, I will make a test kernel available as soon as possible. commit 5594639aab8b5614cb27a3e5b2b627505cbcd137 Author: Tejun Heo <tj> Date: Tue Aug 4 14:30:08 2009 +0900 ahci: add workaround for on-board 5723s on some gigabyte boards Some gigabytes have on-board SIMG5723s connected to JMB ahcis. These are used to implement hardware raid. Unfortunately some firmware revisions on these 5723s don't bring the link down when all the downstream ports are unoccupied while not responding to reset protocol which makes libata think that there's device attached to the port but is not responding and retry. This results in painfully wrong boot detection time for these ports when they're empty. This patch quirks those boards such that ahci gives up after the initial timeout. Combined with parallel probing, this gives quick enough probing and also is safe because SIMG5723 will respond to the first try if any of the downstream ports is occupied. This Bugzilla has been reviewed by Red Hat and is not planned on being addressed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and therefore is being closed. If this bug is critical to production systems, please contact your Red Hat support representative and provide a sufficient business justification in order to re-open it. |
