[Bug 116996] Re: SATA disk is in PATA mode with kernel 2.6.20-16-generic (piix claiming SATA controller on ICH4/ICH5 Intel chipsets)

2007-06-05 Thread phsyco_ant
I have an ICH5 chip and my hard drives run off SATA and DVD+RWs on IDE

I could not boot with 2.6.20-16 (the kernel would hang on the first step
[find boot media or something])

After adding the irqpoll option to the kernel and disabling SATA to IDE
emulation in BIOS (ie enabling SATA RAID but not actually RAIDing the
drives) my system boots.

I use UUIDs for the hard drives and the system will boot with the drives
as sdax and sdbx with the ata_piix driver.

I believe the problem is to do with the BIOS emulating the SATA
controller as IDE 3 and 4, and possibly the order in which the kernel
polls for devices.

I hope this helps.

I just realized you still think this is related to the debian Bug.

This is incorrect

A subset if Intel core host controllers was deliberately switched over by the 
kernel devs in an attempt to fix some CD rom issues , in the process hanging 
everone else out to dry.

there is some discussion going on why this was done under the pretext of

2007-06-04 Thread Andrew Waldram
klmonz  :

My laptop has a distinct lack of Sata drives .

My point was the Great rename bug is the same for my Pata controler...

under kernel 15 my IDE was controlled via ata_piix and therefore
/dev/sdxx

under kernel 16 my IDE is controlled via piix and therefore /dev/hdxx

Yet Sitsofe who also tested a ICH6 chipset MB didn't get drive
renaming..so I assume his modules.pcimap output would still show
ata_piix assigned for his chipset id.

I agree that for me its not such an issue my Pata drive is still working
fine yet for Ubuntu's supposed target audience .. their screwed.

my response was to the original title of your bug '(ata_piix disabled
for ich4/5), where we had some discussion whether ICH6 variants were
also afflicted.

I don't want to be in the situation where everyone is switched back
except me ;-)

Sitsofe:

didnt think of that with my ICH6

lspci -nn

00:1f.1 IDE interface [0101]: Intel Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW
(ICH6 Family) IDE Controller [8086:266f] (rev 03)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic# grep "266f" modules.pcimap
ata_piix 0x8086 0x266f 0x 0x 0x 
0x 0x0

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic# grep "266f" modules.pcimap
piix 0x8086 0x266f 0x 0x 0x 
0x 0x0

So that pretty much confirms that there are some ICH6 affected to.

I'm thinking the most of the stuff under the - can go. Mentionting ata_piix 
and piix and using lspci to find your IDE chipset may be useful though.

Sitsofe:
as mongo replied, you don't have to change cabling, unless the IDE port 
you are mapping the SATA drive to already has a drive (cable) attached - 
in this case you would have to remove it.

bug description: do you mean the headline or my first entry?
pls advise which part you'd like go get changed, no prob for me

I just want to check something. Are the drives that are being renamed
connected to the motherboard using PATA or SATA cables?

klmonz:
Interestingly your newest /proc/interrupts shows that the IDE controller is no 
longer sharing an interrupt with the USB controller...
On another note, could you clean up the description of this bug a bit?

thanks a lot, I did the same and now I can access my sata drive at under
2.6.20.16 without irqpoll and with no performances loss. I love ubuntu,
it makes me able to promote linux among my friends, I hope this serious
bug fixed soon, this distribution has got a good reputation and it is a
pity upsetting so many user. Thanks to all mantainers and volunteers

Thank you for the help


I changed

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic root=UUID=2e377e54-c424-4774
-84fe-1bf63a128ac1 ro quiet splash locale=de_DE

to

kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic
root=UUID=2e377e54-c424-4774-84fe-1bf63a128ac1 ro quiet splash
locale=de_DE irqpoll

and now the system boots "normal" (a bit slow)


my ide drive was under 2.6.20-15 sda and now it is hda

the sata drive sdb is now hde
the sata drieve sdc is now hdg

is it going to stay this way that sata drives are now hdX or will it be
sdX again after the next update???

Why was it changed at all??

just noticed according to boot screen shot swap is on disk 3 partition 2

you have tmp on the 3rd partition and root on the fourth

this doesn't seem to match your grub ???
