From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040515 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: there is a condition of error with a controller managed by the kernel driver sata_sil.c and the model of sata disk ST3120026AS. the controller model is "Adaptec AAR-1210SA". The bug is known in many previous release of the kernel driver (I refer to the latest or 0.54) in kernel 2.6.6. explanation: at boot and during normal access operation the disk is not accessible, or is accesible after delays that last minutes, and after the delays the read/write fails with error "lost interrupt" (more accurate trace and dmesg will follow). in the source code there is a workaround for disk drives of the same manifacturer (seagate) with similar names and type. but not the one I refer to (ST3120026AS). obviously I have tried to modify the source including that model in the workaround routine, but without success. [workaround is called sil_blacklist ...] thanks for your work guys! nicola del vacchio Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install sata controller Adaptec AAR-1210SA in the mainboard 2.link a disk drive model Seagate ST3120026AS 3.boot with kernel 2.6.x Actual Results: errors, disk unusable Expected Results: (fast!!!) operation with sata drive Additional info: please try to address this bug as fast as you can afford, I have a dead pc at home unusable...
Created attachment 100699 [details] dmesg trace about the condition "lost interrupt" for bug:124783
i have installed windows xp and it works fine. so it is not some hardware failure. i'll wait for some good news in order to use again a free OS. thanks nicola
