Here's the situation. I have a MSI KN8Neo-f motherboard with a
Seagate Barracuda 250 GB SATA drive. I have replaced this drive
three times in the last two weeks due to it failing. Now the only
thing in common is the use of a 2.6.22.9 kernel I built from
scratch, before that I was using 2.6.19 kernel but working on doing
some upgrades for the CLFS project and tried a 2.6.22.9. I will
explain the situation and including the links I used for fix the
issues.
It boots up and instantly has a problem detecting so I have to add
irqpoll to my bootup line. {Reference
http://my.opera.com/snowburn/blog/index.dml/tag/failed%20to%20set%20xfermode}
Then I get the adma issue, so I add sata_nv.adma=0 to my bootup
line.{Reference
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0706.1/1424.html}
Now after a few times of booting the drive completely fails. So is
the nv_sata drive the cause?? Based on what I have done yes, and
the reason I can say that is because I took another one of those
drives and the same computer loaded Windows(forgive me for using
this word!!!) on it and it worked perfectly.
You'll have to be more specific about "completely fails".. Also, it
would be useful to get the dmesg output from dmesg directly and not
from syslog, as the entries posted under the second link you gave
were missing some critical information (it seems that syslog can do
this in some cases..) In particular the line showing what command
failed would be useful.
It never gets into the system at all, just locks up. The hard drive
starts clicking and eventually doesn't get recognized by BIOS.
That doesn't sound like a kernel problem if it's not even recognized
by the BIOS, there's nothing the kernel should be able to do that
could cause that. Sounds more like a hardware issue. If the drive has
been replaced before then it could be a power supply or temperature
problem?
I thought that also, just tried a new power supply, same problem. I can
recreate this problem within minutes with a new drive. Got 2 more drives
left in this batch. Temperature is in the low range of the specs.
