RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Matthew Garrett 2010-06-07 12:57:17 UTC
Bugzilla 577967 added code for powering down ahci DMA engines if there's no device attached. This appears to occasionally result in a failure to identify devices and a consequent failure to boot.

Patch(es) available on kernel-2.6.32-42.el6

Comment 9 Mike Gahagan 2010-09-02 17:27:34 UTC
We've booted numerous snapshots since Beta on AHCI systems. Additionally setting of link power has not affected subsequent boots or devices already attached on any of the systems I've tested AHCI link power management on. 

Hotplugged devices are the exception where link power management has to be set to max_performance in order for device detection to work. The kernel should disallow this on any hotpluggable SATA port already.

Comment 10 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-11 16:13:56 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
