Created attachment 159840 [details] Photo #1 of SATA init fail at boot
Created attachment 159841 [details] Photo #2 of SATA init fail at boot This is not to clear but I was in a hurry as it disappears fairly quickly. Hopefully you will be able to make sense from the two photos.
This bug seems to be the same as #232897 but with different chipset.

We probably need to go back to disabling MSI by default.
Just for curiosity. Are these problems due to the wrong MSI implementation in kernel or due to its implementation in various devices?

MSI was broken in previous kernels but should be fixed now. There are devices that don't work right and there are also motherboards that are broken (BIOS updates sometimes fix those.)
Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris

Thanks for the update Ian. I'm adjusting the resolution to let folks know what worked for them. Cheers Chris
