Re: Serial ATA does not find partitions (Hitachi HD, new? ATI controller) where old SATA works
Right, sorry about the confusion. I think the screen capture would be useful to ACPI developers. Thanks. In any case, I appreciate your williness to help, plus I learned things I would have not learned otherwise, many thanks to you Hernan -- Hernán Gustavo Solari, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.df.uba.ar/~solari - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Re: Serial ATA does not find partitions (Hitachi HD, new? ATI controller) where old SATA works
Hmmm... and the kernel freezes after this? libata driver isn't initialized yet. I don't think libata has anything to do with here. as I told you, the ATA problem was with the 2.6.22 version of the kernel and is not longer related to the freeze with kernel 2.6.23-rc8 I asked whether you wanted to see the ATA problem in that kernel or the present crash. Options: I can compile the 2.6.22 kernel to get the reported problem or try to debug the problem in 2.6.22.8 or something else it fits the kernel-team. was my offer. As you did not answer that point (you answered other points) I thought it was useless to debug a problem that is not longer there. I still thing that way. The booting is apparently allocating port services at the point of freezing but not too close of the disk driver, that much I knew. regards Hernan -- Hernán Gustavo Solari, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.df.uba.ar/~solari - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Re: Serial ATA does not find partitions (Hitachi HD, new? ATI controller) where old SATA works
If you can set up a serial console, it would be better. If not, can you please take a photo of the crash and post it? I am running short of elements, no digital camera o movil phone for the case or serial link. However, what it is on the screen when it crashes follows: KERNEL 2.6.23-rc8 -begin screen dump PCI: Bridge: :00:14.4 IO window: a000-afff MEM window: d030-d03f PREFETCH window: 5000-53ff PCI: Enabling device :00:04.0 ( -> 0002) PCI: Enabling device :08:01.0 ( -> 0003) ACPI: PCI Interrupt :08:01.0[A] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23 NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP route cache hash table entries: 32768 (order: 6, 262144 bytes) TCP established hash table entries: 131072 (order: 9, 3145728 bytes) TCP bind hash table entries: 65536 (order: 8, 1048576 bytes) TCP: Hash tables configured (established 131072 bind 65536) TCP reno registered Simple Boot Flag at 0x36 set to 0x1 Total HugeTLB memory allocated, 0 Installing knfsd (copyright (C) 1996 [EMAIL PROTECTED]). io scheduler noop registered io scheduler deadline registered io scheduler cfq registered (default) PCI: MSI quirk detected.

Serial ATA does not find partitions (Hitachi HD, new? ATI controller) where old SATA works
Hello I am disturbing you with this problem because I think there is something to be learnt, I have no urgency or further-problem with my work-around. Description: trying to boot with kernel 2.6.22 the booting process stops not finding the root partition, in the previous line it gives an EMPTY list of available partitions. Disabling completely the (Serial) ATA driver and enabling the old SATA driver is my work-around (a regresion). Installing linux with debian 4.0 is possible (kernel 2.6.18.4-amd64), but ubuntu crashes silently after loading kernel and initrd.image (I guess it is the same problem). Description of the machine, dmesg output with kernel 2.6.22, lspci, modules, cpu, iomem, ioports, acpi-table as well as instalation story at http://www.df.uba.ar/~solari/acer.html Hitachi 120Gb drive scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA Hitachi HTS54161 SBDO PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 ATI controller 00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc 4379 Serial ATA Controller (rev 80) (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Unknown device 010f (pci.ids are up-to-day) The acpi system does not work either, but I have reported the problem to a more specific list. I can test patches in case you want. thanks for your attention Hernan -- Hernán Gustavo Solari, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.df.uba.ar/~solari - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
