Description Sean Sheedy 2010-09-01 15:29:27 UTC
Description of problem:
The kernel gets repeated errors from the Intel ICH9M/M-E SATA controller on a Gateway EC1456u netbook.  These errors occur during every boot, and on most wakes from suspend.  The errors on boot are repeated multiple times during the boot sequence, cause the boot to take minutes as commands time out and the bus is repeatedly reset, and about 1/3 of the time renders the computer unable to complete booting.  Sample error messages from one wake from suspend:

ACPI cmd 00/00:00:00:00:00:a0 (NOP) rejected by device (Stat=0x51 Err=0x04)
ACPI cmd ef/10:03:00:00:00:a0 (SET FEATURES) filtered out
ACPI cmd ef/10:05:00:00:00:a0 (SET FEATURES) rejected by device (Stat=0x51 Err=0x04)
ACPI cmd 00/00:00:00:00:00:a0 (NOP) rejected by device (Stat=0x51 Err=0x04)
ACPI cmd ef/10:03:00:00:00:a0 (SET FEATURES) filtered out
ACPI cmd ef/10:05:00:00:00:a0 (SET FEATURES) rejected by device (Stat=0x51 Err=0x04)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64, although this behavior has been occurring since at least 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.x86_64


How reproducible:
Every boot and most wakes from suspend.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot
2. Watch the fun on the console

Alternately:
1. Suspend computer
2. Wake computer
3. Check /var/log/messages for errors

Comment 4 Chuck Ebbert 2010-09-01 23:34:29 UTC
Can you try kernel-2.6.34.6-47? And if that doesn't work, attach the entire dmesg from that kernel from bootup through a suspend/resume cycle, not just the suspend/resume messages.

dmesg output from 2.6.34.6-47

The problem still manifests on kernel 2.6.34.6-47.  Attached is the dmesg output from the following sequence:

1.  Boot from powered off state
2.  Log in
3.  Suspend by closing lid
4.  Resume by opening lid and pressing key

Comment 6 Chuck Ebbert 2010-09-02 14:03:25 UTC
You can skip the ACPI commands entirely by adding "libata.noacpi=1" to your boot options, but that may not really fix anything. The real problem is that timeouts are happening when the disk is asked to do I/O.

Comment 7 Sean Sheedy 2010-09-03 15:36:13 UTC
Adding "libata.noacpi=1" clears up the problem, including the delay due to disk timeouts.  The system now boots in a reasonable time.  I'll attach dmesg output from the working version for comparison.

dmesg output from 2.6.34.6-47 with "libata.noacpi=1"

This is the same situation as attachment 44529, but with "libata.noacpi=1" set on boot.  This eliminates the SATA errors and the boot delays due to disk timeouts.

The sequence of actions contained here:

1.  Boot from powered off state
2.  Log in
3.  Suspend by closing lid
4.  Resume by opening lid and pressing key

Comment 9 Kyle McMartin 2010-09-06 20:12:21 UTC
Hi Sean, can you please attach the output of "dmidecode", "lspci -vvnn" and "lspci -nn" as well as a full failing log (with the timeouts) on the latest kernel. I've started a thread on linux-kernel about this, so hopefully we can get it resolved.

Thanks!
 Kyle

/var/log/messages from 2.6.34.6-47

This is the full /var/log/messages output from the failing case on 2.6.34.6-47.  This is the same sequence of events described in comment 5:

1.  Boot from powered off state
2.  Log in
3.  Suspend by closing lid
4.  Resume by opening lid and pressing key

Comment 14 Bug Zapper 2011-05-31 14:48:02 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 15 Bug Zapper 2011-06-28 13:36:14 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
