This was very likely introduced with upstream kernel commit 1b2c357c301b76118973763e886d9f70a7f50f7e pata_ali: force initialise a few bits but reverting isn't easy as further work has been done to pata_ali since then. If time permits I'll dig further into that - although I'm inclined to pick some old pata controller to simply work around the problem. For the records, "rev 20" seems to work. Regression was fixed in | commit d6250a03fa736c1bff4df4601f5af2dc21f2bf9e | Author: Alan Cox <alan.com> | Date: Mon Nov 30 13:23:05 2009 +0000 | | pata_ali: Fix regression with old devices Compiled a 2.6.33 kernel with pata_ali.ko & alim15x3.ko modules. On a 'rev c1' motherboard, created two initrd's with alternate drivers excluded. Confirmed that the alim15x3.ko works. With the pata_ali.ko module in use, the kernel seems to just stop after the HDD has been detected and identified. Last line on console:- "scsi: 0:0:0:0: Direct Access ATA" < make/drive ident > This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping As this is a current kernel driver issue, this also applies to Fedora 12 (and probably Fedora 13 if it is not fixed within the next fortnight :) Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
