Description Flags

Description Darryl Bond 2008-10-08 21:58:01 UTC
Created attachment 319809 [details]
2.6.25 + 2.6.26 dmesg + lspci -v

Description of problem:
Upgraded kernel does not recognise 2 SATA DVD Drives with 2.6.26. Downgrading the kernel to 2.6.25 reinstates them. The fault exhibited with the first release of 2.6.26.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3 with NVIDIA GeForce 6100 chipset

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Kernel 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64


How reproducible:
Fails every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Cold boot 2.6.25.9-76.fc9.x86_64 - DVD drives recognised normally
2.Cold boot 2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64 - lots of errors on DVD SATA channels
3.Drives not recognised
  
Actual results:
(2.6.26.5)
ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=-19)
ata2: SRST failed (errno=-16)
ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=-19)
ata2: SRST failed (errno=-16)
ata2: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=-19)
ata2: SRST failed (errno=-16)
ata2: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
ata2: SRST failed (errno=-16)
ata2: reset failed, giving up


Expected results:
(2.6.25.9)
ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
usb 2-3: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 3
ata2.00: ATAPI: PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-215, 1.06, max UDMA/66
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/66


Additional info:
I noticed that if I warm booted 2.6.25 after 2.6.26 the probing of the DVD drives is flakey, only one drive was recognised.

I have installed the latest bios with no effect.

Comment 1 Darryl Bond 2008-10-08 22:22:11 UTC
I forgot to mention, also, the disk activity LED stays on continuously with 2.6.26 but works normally with 2.6.25

Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2008-10-10 02:35:36 UTC
This is a known problem with sata_nv and is not fixed in 2.6.27 yet. Should be fixed soon, though.

Comment 3 Chuck Ebbert 2008-11-05 12:45:50 UTC
Should be fixed in 2.6.27.4-24 and later:

Comment 4 Darryl Bond 2008-11-05 22:55:19 UTC
Tried to test it but it needs the kernel-firmware dependency. That does not seem to be in https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/pending

Works fine so far.

CD reading is fine
Drive activity led behaving normally
Machine booting normally
