Re: [Linux-parport] [PATCHv3 2/2] Add force_epp module option for parport_pc.
Hi, this thread has been very interesting. I feel that I'm one of the "instigators" to solve this f... bug in the kernel. But, it seems that it's quiet difficult, more because the kernel developers than the bug itself. But well, to be honest, the kernel developers do a great and complex job, so probably they have good reasons to react in that way. Think that it's the second time that a patch to solve this bug is rejected. Thanks Matwey for the patch and the afford to solve this bug. I have several boxes in the lab where I work (Dell 745) that suffer that false positives. Also, there's some pci card that also suffer that. I think that we have one. But, I'm not sure. So, I can check whatever could be necessary. Best regards, Leopold -- -- Linux User 152692 PGP: 05F4A7A949A2D9AA Catalonia - A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

Now, I have tested the 2.6.21-rc1 with the same result. Not boot I have one doubt, and maybe Mr Garzik could answer it. The changes in the ahci.c and sata_via.c for the 2.6.16 that I commented in a previous mails are incorporated in the next versions? Because all of us has presumed that yes, are equal and maybe not .

Thanks for > testing and reporting. Hi people, arriving to this state. What do you recommend? I have the box more or less working with irqpoll but with a lot of messages: APIC error on CPU0: 08(08) and the box doesn't boot without the irqpoll option. Do you think that the 2.6.21 have some kind of changes in this area? Thank's for all for you patience and your messages.

Does giving 'irqpoll' parameter to kernel make any difference? yes. Now it boots. However I'm having a lot of messages: APIC error on CPU0 and I begin to have problems with the network card. > 2. Can you give a shot at 2.6.20? yes, I'm doing it now. Thank's a lot. But, why with irqpoll works and without no?

Sata_via problems in a Vintage2-AE1
Dear people, I have a barebone Asus Vintage2-AE1 [1]. This box has a mobo Asus A8V-MQ. The board has: - the Socket 939 for AMD Athlon 64FX/Athlon 64. - North Bridge: VIA K8M800 - South Bridge: VIA VT8251 - VIA Graphics Integrated - IDE 2 x UltraDMA 133 - 4 x Serial ATA ... I'm using the bios version 0206. The 0210 doesn't show me the vga card, so I don't have graphics mode. I think that is a buggy bios. The bios is configured with vt8251 in AHCI mode and bios boot up activated, so the hd is recognized in the beginning. I don't have any raid, only one hd. The hd is a Maxtor 6V250F0. I'm using a debian etch but the i386 version. The only way that I can use the hd is using a 2.6.16 standard kernel with the modifications explained in this page [2]. Basically you have to use their ahci.c and sata_via.c. The modifications are small from the original code from Mr Jeff Garzik. I have tried to use the 2.6.18 and 2.6.20rc6 and the result is the same. The kernel boots, but when arrives at the ata3, scsi2 : ahci ata3: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) ata3.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x104) repeated some times ... scsi3 : ahci ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) scsi4 : ahci ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) scsi5 : ahci ata6: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) Done. Begin: Mounting root file system... ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ide0: I/O resource 0x3F6-0x3F6 not free. ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe. ide1: I/O resource 0x376-0x376 not free. ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe. Done. Begin: Waiting for root file system ... . but the /dev/sda doesn't exist so I cannot boot. using the 2.6.16 with lspci -M I obtain the info attached below. Please, could you look on it?
