There is a commit related to link init failures in the final karmic kernel which may be relevant.

While trying to work around spurious detection retries for non-existent devices on slave links, commit 816ab89782ac139a8b65147cca990822bb7e8675 incorrectly added link offline check logic before ata_eh_thaw() was called. This means that if an occupied link goes down briefly at the time that offline check was performed, device class will be cleared to ATA_DEV_NONE and libata wouldn't retry thus failing detection of the device. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Karmic) Milestone: None => karmic-updates ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Karmic) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Jaunty) Assignee: Andy Whitcroft (apw) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Intrepid) Status: In Progress => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Intrepid) Assignee: Andy Whitcroft (apw) => (unassigned) -- Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Andy- The tests I did were mainly with the mainline kernel. I got the same issues I had with the (-generic) kernels. Two more updates here: 2.6.29.4 - SRST failed 2.6.30 - SRST failed Still not fixed in 2.6.30, obviously. I think (in 2.6.29.4) my kernel sees my drive as an sda/sdb device. It doesn't work either way, unfortunately. I think the root of the issue is the kernel not being able to softreset the hard drive, which eventually results in a timeout and the kernel doing _something_ to manage to reset the HD and eventually boot the system.

Oddly enough, I had this problem constantly when I was running the 2.6.27 kernel and above (getting the SRST failed. I decided to switch from Ubuntu's kernel to the mainline Linux kernel for now (and am running 2.6.29.1 at the time) and it seems to have partially fixed the problem. The only weird thing from viewing dmesg output in 2.6.29.1 is that the CPU stalls out for ~14 seconds.

Has a cause been identified? I can certainly help with that part! Here's some more I dugg up (attached) Bootcharts from my intrepid install directly before upgrading And from the jaunty directly after upgrading (luckily, bootchart was alwyas installed on my system) Lvm seems to be taking an awful long time *and* displaying the odd disk activity in bootchart that I described. I wouldn't know what lvm is doing in that time, and thus why it might longer than expected. I guess I will try to get rid of my snapshots - just to see whether that changes the pathological behaviour. I'll also be digging around for an older kernel/initrd that I might have on backup somewhere to see whether I can pry them apart to find relevant differences.

[Bug 290153] Re: Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt
Added findings: (1) i was overly optimistic when I said that exiting the initramfs shell immediately helped. It often requires a wait of 30-60 seconds to succeed. (2) an added observation that could shed some light: the hard-disk activity led lights up continously since 'booting' the grub selection. This continues *even after* getting the busybox prompt. Watching the activity light for inactivity is a very reliable indicator for 'disk readiness'. In other words, booting succeeds as soon as the hard disk activity has died down. Perhaps there is some disk scanning activity involved that takes a long time, locking the disk? Is there anyway to telling what the system is doing during that long period of disk activity? Ok, so what should happen for this issue to get more attention? All I can see now is that this ticket is 'Invalid' and various other confusing states in a large number of packages(?).

[Bug 290153] Re: Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt
Have this problem since my Jaunty upgrade. Upgraded from existing intrepid install. Config identical to hostname config. In fact I can still boot into a snapshot of the pre-upgrade intrepid (have backups, at all times). Immediately exiting the busybox shell works all the time. Did anyone investigate whether all reporting users use LVM? It seemed so to me. Note: LVM, not RAID per se. (I use LVM with no encryption, striping, raid or whatever. Plain LVM+xfs for ease of administration). Note that I also have the same problem now when booting into that intrepid install (using the same kernel/initramfs 2.6.28-11-generic). I can guarantee (lvm snapshot isolation) that it wasn't touched *EXCEPT* for the shared /boot partition. This narrows it to a kernel/initramfs change in the kernel for Jaunty Beta (09 aprl 2009) vs. intrepid latest kernel? I do recall that there had been a kernel upgrade in the 'regular' updates for my intrepid box yesterday. I *have* rebooted the intrepid box without problems *after* that particular kernel update but *before* the dist-upgrade to Jaunty. I have *not* seen a smooth reboot since dist-upgrading to Jaunty. I did also note that the dist-upgrade seems to use a deviant method of rebooting after install? It seems to bypass the BIOS and instead invoke the boot-loader code directly (no BIOS POST screens appeared). This might not play well with my hdparm settings since I auto-suspend most of my disks after some 15 seconds and this easily leads to timing issues when disks need to be awoken. However, the same issues also arise when doing cold/BIOS boots.

[Bug 290153] Re: Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt
I'm exhausted. I wanted to try out Ubuntu after going back to Windows a few months ago. I DL and burned Ubuntu Ultimate 2.0. I am aware of problems with bad burns (been there), so I burned the disk at 2X. Popped the DVD in yesterday and came up with this error also. I have spent the last 24 hours, almost straight, troubleshooting everything I could imagine. I am a computer tech, and I do have a little experience with Ubuntu and other Debian based distros. For what I do know about Debian and Ubuntu, NOTHING worked for me. First I thought it was a HDD issue, so I swapped drives...4 of them and all IDE. Nothing, busy-bastard error every time. I read through some forums and tried all the posted workarounds...nothing again. Tried then different DVD drives...same on all. (There is some speculation that bad DVD drives are to blame...BS) Something interesting though; On one occasion I pressed F6 to edit the boot command, I took out the quiet splash command and pressed enter. It showed the modules initiating and giving a general "OK" to everything, until it got to my USB 2.0 hub. There it froze and immediately gave the bastard box error. Conflict/error while loading the USB driver or hub? Anyone resolve this by removing a USB mouse and/or keyboard and using PS2? Just a though...probably nothing. When I am at the initramfs error and I type exit I get a listing of root directories that are not "found", but this IS a live CD, as I am not trying to install the OS, yet. Seems like maybe* the live cd is not able to create those virtual directories...for whatever reason. My burn is good, burned at 2X. Memory test comes back fine. I run TinyMe, Puppy and Backtrack 2&3 on this hardware on a regular basis. Also installed Ubuntu 8.10 just a couple of months ago...NEVER any problems like this. I LOVE Ubuntu and am very fond of the Ultimate builds,,, but this is a little more than discouraging. Another reason I know this DVD is "Good". I installed this on VMware with both the .iso image, and the DVD it's self as the source. No problems and it runs find on VMWare. Oh yea... I did FIRST get the initramfs error, but by default VMWare creates every virtual disk as SCSI. I went back and switch that to IDE, fired up VMWare and no problems. If I had a SATA or SCSI drive, I would try that... but hell. Im tired. Frustrated. Here is a rundown of my hardware. Maybe it will help...someone.

Hello. I experienced the same problem with an ASUS A6Rp, but I can add some (hoping) useful infos: the system is unable to boot only after the sequence: suspend -> failed resume -> forced poweroff (I did not tried with hibernate). I faced with the problem while testing suspend/resume for finding correct quirks. Adding the option rootdelay=90 I was able to boot regularly; then I tried to reboot and all worked fine without added options. Considering that /dev/disk/by-uuid/ exists and points to correct device, maybe the problem is in some sort of inconsistent state of the controller/driver caused by failed resume (or something so). -- Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
