racitup, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: needs-full-computer-model needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: regression-release ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910999 Title: sil5744 over eSATA regression - repeated kernel failures & device initialisation times out Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have recently purchased an external eSATA/USB2.0 hard drive enclosure (Startech S252U2ERR) which uses the Silicon Image sil5744 RAID SATA controller. The enclosure can take up to two 2.5" hdds. There are 4 modes: JBOD, BIG, RAID0 and RAID1 Upon using this on Kubuntu 11.10 only the JBOD mode works okay and both installed disks are detected using eSATA Port Multipler. In any of the other modes, specifically RAID1, the device never initialises properly and the kernel retries eventually time out. The following is repeated in the System Log after running KDE Partition Editor: ... 01/02/12 09:42:03 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1194.864697] ata6.00: hard resetting link 01/02/12 09:42:03 PM ubuntu udevd[14719] timeout: killing 'udisks-part-id /dev/sdb' [16632] 01/02/12 09:42:03 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.356424] ata6.00: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 310) 01/02/12 09:42:03 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.356478] ata6.01: hard resetting link 01/02/12 09:42:03 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.676511] ata6.01: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) 01/02/12 09:42:03 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.676889] ata6.00: configured for UDMA/133 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724152] ata6: EH complete 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724240] ata6.00: failed to read SCR 1 (Emask=0x40) 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724247] ata6.01: failed to read SCR 1 (Emask=0x40) 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724257] ata6.15: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x800000 action 0x6 frozen 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724274] ata6.15: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal error 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724277] ata6.15: SError: { LinkSeq } 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724281] ata6.00: exception Emask 0x100 SAct 0x1 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724285] ata6.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724290] ata6.00: cmd 60/08:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 0 ncq 4096 in 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724292] res 50/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x100 (unknown error) 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724295] ata6.00: status: { DRDY } 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724298] ata6.01: exception Emask 0x100 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1195.724303] ata6.15: hard resetting link 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1196.216056] ata6.15: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1196.216685] ata6.01: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1196.216693] ata6.00: hard resetting link 01/02/12 09:42:04 PM ubuntu udevd[14719] timeout: killing 'udisks-part-id /dev/sdb' [16632] 01/02/12 09:42:05 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1196.708343] ata6.00: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 310) 01/02/12 09:42:05 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1196.708393] ata6.01: hard resetting link 01/02/12 09:42:05 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1197.028570] ata6.01: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) 01/02/12 09:42:05 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1197.028946] ata6.00: configured for UDMA/133 01/02/12 09:42:05 PM ubuntu kernel [ 1197.076169] ata6: EH complete ...
