1. Boot Fedora 8 RC3 on a motherboard having the SIS964 chipset and SATA HDD
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Slow boot and failed detection of the SATA Hard Disk

Comment 3 ryan roth 2007-11-08 17:10:05 UTC
I have the same issue with Fedora 7 & 8, and none of the workarounds work.  My
only solutions have been to run either the XEN kernel, or compile my own vanilla
kernel.

Comment 4 Chuck Ebbert 2007-11-08 18:16:50 UTC
Fixed by commit aaa092a114696f4425cd57c4d7fa05110007e247
This will be in the next kernel release, but will not help people who can't install.


Comment 5 Scott McMahan 2007-11-13 11:09:02 UTC
"This will be in the next kernel release" - which release will fix this problem?
I have kernel 2.6.23.1.-49.fc8 and the messages are the same as in the posted
log. Can't even see the SATA drive. This Asus SiS motherboard worked fine with
FC6 and 7, so this is something new in 8 that broke it.

Comment 6 Scott McMahan 2007-11-13 11:12:13 UTC
Please change priority from "low" and severity "medium" to show-stopper -- this
bug cripples any Asus motherboard using an SATA drive! This is a critical
problem. Why doesn't Fedora 8 say something as a warning during the upgrade
process that it is not compatible with the hardware? Is there some way to undo
the upgrade to Fedora 8?

Comment 7 Scott McMahan 2007-11-13 14:15:09 UTC
Several related COMRESET bugs suggest adding "pci=nomsi pci=nommconf" to the
kernel boot parameters - I tried adding them to the grub boot parameters, but
this doesn't affect the COMRESET failed (errno=768) bug.

Same messages for ata4.

I only have one SATA drive attached, not two.

It is specific to SiS chipsets, not Asus motherboards.

Nobody reported any problems from Fedora 8 test1, test2 or test3.



Comment 9 Scott McMahan 2007-11-13 19:44:37 UTC
If any additional information is needed, let me know - I can reproduce this
easily and can send logs or run commands or anything else.

*report

sorry, i'm not good at English

i had same sata-hdd-problem too.
kernel 2.6.22 worked fine with F7 but 2.6.23 doesn't.
since i installed kernel 2.6.23.1-26.fc7, F7 become to be fine again.
and kernel 2.6.23.1-28-fc7 is fine too.

i did upgrade from F7 to F8.
F8 didn't work fine with kernel 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 on my pc, but worked fine with 
kernel 2.6.23.1-28.fc7.

i downloaded "linux 2.6.23.1-58.fc8" from koji.fedoraproject.org and 
it works fine with sis 180 raid controler and single sata hdd (not raid).
thank you.

Comment 14 Scott McMahan 2007-11-19 15:28:09 UTC
With:

ID	24568
Package Name	kernel
Version	2.6.23.1
Release	58.fc8

SATA seems to be working fine with the SiS 964 chipset. I am able to mount and
use my SATA drive as usual. No "COMRESET failed (errno=768)" messages appear
during the boot process.

Comment 15 Chuck Ebbert 2007-11-21 19:33:17 UTC
in 2.6.23.8-62

As Chuck says, the problem seems to be resolved for SiS chipset, but for people
who can't install, we need a new respin.
I tested doing my own live cd with revisor, from the rawhide template. It
installed the kernel 2.6.24-0.39.rc3.git1.fc9 in the live cd.
But unfortunately, the boot stops when it can't find /sbin/init. It seems the
revisor's livecd from rawhide template is incomplete or broken.
I will continue testing with the rawhide kernel, creating my boot cd with
revisor, and I'll let you know when I succeed installing Fedora in my computer
with Sis964 chipset.

regards

Comment 18 Mitchell 2007-12-06 23:23:16 UTC
Add me to the list of 'Me Too'.

I was going to do a clean install of my FC6 server to F8 but this bug stopped me
dead in my tracks.  F7 worked fine bug i dont want to go through all the hasles
of upgraded to only get 6 months of updates out of the ordeal.

Please create a fix!

Thanks,
mitchell
