I also have this hardware (which work properly):
SATA hard drive
IDE CD Burner
IDE DVD Reader
Smart Card Reader

Version of release notes this bug refers to:

Fedora Core 4 final release

This bug occured on both i386 and x86_64 based FC4 system... 
It also occured with kubuntu on a 2.6.12 kernel (which in fact hanged at install
time).
I've also tried a few 2.6.15 releases without more success..

thnx!

Comment 1 Paul W. Frields 2005-12-19 03:04:03 UTC
Why is this filed against the release notes contacts?  Reassigning to the owner
and QA contact for this component.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-12-20 04:11:24 UTC
this should be fixed in the work-in-progress kernel at

Kernel Panic

Comment 5 Th0ma7 2005-12-21 01:12:28 UTC
Gave a try at 2.6.14-1.1771_FC4smp and got a kernel panic... 
 
Took some picture of the call trace and the kernel panic. 

Comment 6 Th0ma7 2005-12-27 12:30:34 UTC
With 2.6.14-1.1776_FC4smp I've been able to boot once... After that I ran into 
kernel panic.. Makes me think of an SMP issue that I ran into with the spock 
fbconsole a year ago. 
 
Although, here is the output when it booted right:

The DVD Burner did not seemed to be recognized (did not had the time to check 
that out.. only kept the dmesg output)

Comment 7 Th0ma7 2006-01-06 10:34:38 UTC
I gave a try to 2.6.15-1.1782_FC4smp but also crashed on libata (tried to boot 
twice).

After that I rebooted to my 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp kernel... and figured out 
something:  Everythime I "reboot" to a kernel with atapi enabled on sata my PC 
crash.  If I simply "cold-boot" it will... most of the time... boot-up 
correctly.  I'm currently running 2.6.15-1.1823_FC4smp kernel but I have 
disconnected my plextor drive.. I'll make more tests later on. 
 
I also got an error message from my SATA chipset when rebooting saying that it 
was not capable of probing any devices... I got fix by cold-booting once more. 
 
Also, I found out that I had some errors with the 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp kernel. 
It often says: 
ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } 
ata1: error=0x84 { DriveStatusError BadCRC } 
ata1: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

2.6.15-1.1823_FC4smp kernel crash at boot time

From time to time, even without my plextor dvd drive connected, the kernel
crashes at boot time.

Comment 12 Th0ma7 2006-01-13 10:41:51 UTC
Since there had been no crash for two days I tought I should try to reconnect 
my SATA Plextor DVD drive.  I got the usual:

SDB is actually my external firewire hard drive... Maybie there is a 
misunderstanding between my SATA DVD drive wich should (I think) be sdb but 
does not get detected properly vs my firewire HD ??? 
 
Anyhow, I rebooted once more and reactivated the raid sata interface from the 
BIOS (a Promise I think)... I thought it might detect my drive... never know.  
It actually tried to detect all of my drives and that took about 2 minutes 
before telling I did not had the appropriate configuration and that I had to 
reboot.  All my tests failed (wich is probably right since I only got 1x SATA 
HD, 1x IDE CDR, 1x IDE DVD, 1x SATA DVD-R... nothing to enable any type of 
RAID.  Although, I re-disabled the marvell raid interface from the bios and 
booted again and.... I don't get it but my Plextor appeared right away into 
the libata section of the boot messages.  Although the kernel crashed right 
after that so I have'nt been able to get a text output of that. 
 
I'll try to make some more testing to find out exactly how I can get that 
message. 

Comment 13 Th0ma7 2006-01-16 10:44:50 UTC
I made some more testing...  
My DVD-R is plugged on the channel 1 of the VIA based SATA controler and it is 
being seen by the controler at boot time... It is not plugged on the dedicated 
Promise SATA plugs (else it is never detected by the controler) 
I find out that: 
1- With Promise Controler OFF 
I either get a BLACK LISTED device with a core being dumped around HAL startup 
and udev writes down an error on /dev/cdrom0 or something like that... 
--== OR ==-- 
I get a 
ata2: command 0xa0 timeout, stat 0xd0 host_stat 0x1 
ata2: translated ATA stat/err 0xd0/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/47/00 
but my computer boots and run fine (like while I'm writing this bug message) 
 
 
2- With the Promise Controler 
The promise controler always do a scan of all the peripherals connected to 
every SATA ports and exit saying there is nothing to configure. 
At the first boot curiously my Plextor always get's detected by libata and I 
always get a core dump.... Note that either the speed of my main HD drive 
changed or it is really really slow at getting udev working. 
In every case I get a core being dumped with both my plextor connected and the 
promise controler ON. 

Comment 14 Th0ma7 2006-01-18 10:54:29 UTC
I made some more testing... 
I cold rebooted about 30 times to dig down a bit more on the problem. 
 
- 3 out of 4 boots generate a 0xa0 timeout on my ata2 device.  My computer 
although works fine but the Plextor DVDR does not work. 
- 1 out of 4 I get a "Consider BLIST_INQUIRY_36 for this device" + "ata2 is 
slow to respond, please be patient" + finally a kernel panic around HAL 
startup with an error message on the second part of the panic "BUG: spinlock 
lockup on CPU#1, swapper/0, f79c2938 (Not tainted) 
- 1 out of 20 boots my plextor gets recognized.... then udev takes a few 
minutes to finally start up then I finally get a kernel crash once again. 
 
I took some new picture of the BLIST_INQUIRY_36 msg + the 2 part kernel panic.

I gave a try at 2.6.15-1.2004_FC4smp and now I'm always getting a    
BLIST_INQUIRY_36 + a reset... not a kernel panic... my system simply does a   
reset, it tilts!  In fact I have not been able to boot correctly with it 
once... so I'm actually staying with 2.6.15-1.1824_FC4smp version wich usually 
boots right with the "ata2: command 0xa0 timeout"

This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs.

A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

2.6.15-1.1830 still crashes. (like version 2.6.15-1.2003 and 2.6.15-1.2004 
that had been into the dev. channel).

Installed FC5 x86_64 and I'm now using 2.6.16-1.2071_FC5 and still having the
same problems...  I also gave a try at 2.6.17-rc0-git14 since there is a big
libata update.. although the bug still persist, at least my PC does not crash
under a BLIST_INQUIRY_36 warning.

Comment 22 Th0ma7 2006-05-16 11:41:03 UTC
Thre is a patch available:

Use patch:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/2.6.17-rc4-git2-libata1.patch.bz2
(patch posted on lklm)

It allowed me to finally burn my first DVD using my Plextor 716SA !!!

Works like a charm!

Could be included in 2.6.17_XYZ_FC5 ??
