Same here. I have a GA-MA78GM-SH2 (F3). And a Samsung HD103UJ SATA harddrive. I have also problems with Suspend but as I guess that are other issues I file a several bugreport. Same here - ata1 - Fujitsu Lifebook S6240 This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I have such an error at boot time also. MB ASUS M3A ata4 Seagate ST3320613AS harddrive. The dmesg output includes the following lines after boot: ata4: softreset failed (device not ready) ata4: failed due to HW bug, retry pmp=0 I am wondering weather it's a problem with my hardware or the kernel. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.27.y.git;a=blob;f=drivers/ata/ahci.c;h=2e1a7cb2ed5f91553ef9d2a39326233197eae7bd;hb=HEAD#l1652 That's the line that is the generator of the message. I don't know what is actually causing it to fail, though. The driver I am using is pata_atiixp.

Soften up the dmesg on SB600 PMP softreset failure recovery
Too strong words led to spurious bug reports: Novell bugzilla #527748, RedHat bugzilla #468800. This patch is used to soften up the dmesg on SB600 PMP softreset failure recovery, so as to remove the scariness and concern from community. The above patch has been posted to kernel upstream. thanks. I also see this. GA-MA69GM-S2H with bios F6. The patch in comment #13 has been posted to kernel and accepted. Fix is in rawhide. Can you please clarify which packages should contain the fix? Because the latest F12 kernel out of Koji (kernel-2.6.31.3-67.fc12.x86_64) still has the issue for me. Is the "fix" that the error message is another one? Is it necessary to display the message at all? (GRUB is really nice and KMS is really nice and between is still this error message) Yes, oly the message is changed, since it's a hardware bug. It should be like: ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) ata1: applying SB600 PMP SRST workaround and retrying This is the fix upstream which rawhide picked up: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b6931c1fbaf7fda9ea7f120228a96600d7090049 And it cannot be hidden completely, since this line could mean a serious failure on other chipsets. I don't follow -- the message is apparently specifically for SB600, so how does it have anything to do with other chipsets? SB700 has the same bug. Not sure about SB710 and SB750. Same issue here, ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) ata1: failed due to HW bug, retry pmp=0 ata2: softreset failed (device not ready) ata2: failed due to HW bug, retry pmp=0 This is a Laptop Gateway NV5214u [maximi89@gateway ~]$ uname -a Linux gateway 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sat Oct 17 11:24:32 EDT 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux [maximi89@gateway ~]$ sudo lspci -v -nn -d 1002:4390 [sudo] password for maximi89: 00:11.0 SATA controller [0106]: ATI Technologies Inc SB700/SB800 SATA Controller [IDE mode] [1002:4390] (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:021a] Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 22 I/O ports at 8420 [size=8] I/O ports at 8414 [size=4] I/O ports at 8418 [size=8] I/O ports at 8410 [size=4] I/O ports at 8400 [size=16] Memory at f0207000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [70] SATA HBA <?> Kernel driver in use: ahci Well, that's normal and nothing to worry about. It is something to worry about because it makes the bootup experience look like crap, it is alarming to users who don't have the technical know-how to resolve bugs with the kernel devs, and it's ENTIRELY USELESS. The message is telling me absolutely nothing that I as a user need to know. The message is not telling you as a developer anything because it's showing up on my screen, not yours. If and only if it is an actual bug causing actual problems do you as the developer need to know that log message appeared, and in that case there's no reason it has to show up on my screen instead of just being part of the dmesg log you would ask me to send if I reported a bug. I see at least two ways to solve this: 1) change plymouth to not go to shell when above issue gets displayed 2) change kernel to put such error message as a warning That being said, on my Athlon X2 7850/HD 4770/AMD 770/SB700 system with KMS on above issue doesn't occur at all. I do get: ata2: softreset failed (device not ready) ata4: softreset failed (device not ready) ata3: softreset failed (device not ready) ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) in dmesg, but Plymouth runs the entire boot normally. Considering this, I would conjecture it's fixed in Fedora 12 with KMS on. Not sure about KMS off situation, but Plymouth isn't exactly exciting in this case IMHO. |
