yes, it worked with me on 2.6.22-14-generic, too

I updated firmware SS03 march 2007 using Samsung tool under xp. The firmware 
upgrade fixed lockups and the 'ata1: port is slow to respond'-problem'. 
Hardware: Medion MD 98000 CoreDuo T2300 notebook with Intel 82801GBM/GHM SATA 
AHCI controller, drive to flash: 
Samsung SN-S082D SLIM DVD-RW

Still open is that know issue SATA drive on. SATA initializes quite
often, every 5 min for some seconds without lockup. I can't find any
dmesg event coresponding to that behaviour.  See also

If someone has a solution for that, please let me know.

Finally got around to upgrading my firmware to SC04 with -nocheck option and 
SUCCESS :)
No more lockups. No more 100% CPU usage. And no more coasters being burnt :)
Fantastic. 
Many thanks for all your help.

Hey,
I didn't have the original file, but I had it extracted, so I zipped it up for 
you, together with flashing utility for dos. I used those 2 and everything is 
fine. I don't have acer firmware though, as I have Asus myself. But you don't 
need it for cross-flashing. Here's the link:

Hi guys,

Refering to bug#84603 : https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84603

There is yet another way to flash your drive.

Note that you need windows. 
Got to http://www.toshibaer.com/firmware/index.php?path=TS-L632D/

get the latest package TS-L632D_AC01_Acer_OEM.zip  , also get TS-
L632D_SC03.zip

Now, we are going to cross flash the drive with the .BIN from TS-L632D_SC03.zip 
.
In order to get the flasher to accept croos flashing, you need to launch it 
from the command line with -nocheck switch like:
sfdnwin.exe  -nocheck
qnd choose the TS... .BIN file

If I remove ata_piix I can't get my kernel to boot, it hangs on mounting root

Would recommend people to back up their ata_piix.ko ;) and to have

thanks a lot, it's much better having the ubuntu kernel working. By the way, 
the black list method described in 
 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/84603/comments/30
 
didn't work for me. I've simply run:

rm /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/drivers/ata/ata_piix.ko 
update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.20-15-generic

@live_linux_secure
you can manually install a kernel downloading the *.deb files and running dpkg 
-i file.deb, but the solution above is much better.

To you mean that debian etch kernel's kernel does not trigger the error?


If so, this is going to be a matter on patching the actual kernel, I would like 
to confirm this behaviour.

Sorry, this timeout setting doesn't work.
The freezes are pretty obvious, everything except the mousepointer seems

After that you can see timeout errors in dmesg.

2007-03-26 Thread Travis Reitter
I'm getting the same problems on:

Feisty (fully updated as of this post, and regularly updated in general)
Linux 2.6.20-13-generic
Core 2 Duo
00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE Controller 
(rev 02)

Every once and a while, some things will hang for 30 seconds (until the
driver times out and it does a soft reset).

A few kernel versions back, my Intel WiFi hardware would die
sporadically, and I believe I got kernel messages about hard drive
issues at the same time. So, these timeouts are better than forced
reboots, but it's still really irritating.

Nobody else seems to have mentioned another strange thing I noticed:
'df' lists my data partitions as hdaN, while only /dev/sda* exist.
This could just be because I've got my partitions mounted by UUID, and
'df' assumes PATA if they aren't mounted by device name, or something.

Hi,

thanks for the tip with sysfsutils.

Sorry that setting the timeout doesn't work. I got no timeout until today  
since
a week and it seems that the number 30 in the timeout setting is just a  
coincidence.
I don't know what this timeout setting is for, then. The dvd-rw drive has  
a timeout of 0.

nice one.
concerning sysfs, you have sysfsutils. Install it and add:
bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/timeout = 1
in /etc/sysfs.conf

I'm going to try it out with a timeout of 10, will leave it running and
update with the results.

Re: [Bug 53754] Re: ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset

2007-03-06 Thread Christian Mayrhuber
Hi, again!

I expirienced what I assume is a harddrive reset unter MS Windows.
The harddisk makes a noise like it is parking it's heads at arbitrary
points in time. Somtimes, I notice a short delay in mouse movement during
the noise period. I think the windows driver works around the system  
freeze
by using a smaller timeout than Linux. In theory the same should be  
possible
on linux through sysfs.
Issuing as root user (or adding it to /etc/rc.local):

echo 1  /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/timeout

will set the timeout from 30s to 1s.
I tried suspend to ram (and wakeup) with this setting and it still worked..

I'll report back if there are any sideeffects for me.

Cheers, Christian

PS: Is there any tool like sysctl, which sets parameters in /proc, to set  
parameters in sysfs?

I have recently begun using the same laptop I had the problem as my main
computer (for the past 3 months I didn't use it much), and apparently
updating to Feisty solves the problem. If the involved computers are not
mission critical I'd reccommend you to update to Feisty (there's the
ocassional  breakage, but overall it is rather stable).

I do have a CD in the drive. I haven't yet researched what happens if I
remove it.

Best regards, Jose

[Bug 53754] Re: ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset

2007-03-02 Thread Paul Sladen
François: I'm glad the link was helpful!  :)

I don't think we know the root cause of this bug;  I know that a set of
Lenovo ThinkPads suffered something similar to do with the PATA-SATA
bridge---I have one of the affected laptops.  The workaround for this
was that they patched the firmware *on the hard-drive*.  (Which also
means that if you swap the hard-drive it doesn't make it very far
through the boot-process)...

Not sure how to solve this one;  the fact that upgrading the firmware on
the optical drive has an effect gives the impression that there is
something fairly wrong with the hardware itself.  It's likely that this
was worked around in any MS Windows drivers shipped with the machine,
and that is what we'd have to do under Linux ...when the actual problem
can be tracked down.

Are there any kernel versions that /don't/ have this issue?  I think
somebody mentioned a recent Gentoo kernel that may have had some extra
IDE patches.

using a disc, I don't have any freezes.

I believe since 2.6.19, freezes happens more rarely than it used to be
on edgy. If I remember well, on edgy, freezes were happening almost
every 30min-1hours.

Hope to see this fixed in the coming release. In the meanwhile, I keep a
CD in the tray.

Hi,

I have to report that I still have freezes from time to time (during  
normal desktop work):
- ca. 2 a day without a CD in the drive
- ca. 1 a day with a CD in the drive

However prior to the firmware update I had around 5 times more freezes per  
day.
I'm currently running 2.6.19 on feisty. I first thought that this freezes  
were gone, because
I had none during the first days after applying the firmware update, don't  
know why.
The kernel versions from 2.6.17 on till 2.6.19 didn't make much of a  
difference.

Sorry, that I cannot say anything more positive.

Note that a firmware upgrade may destroy your DVD drive and void the  
warranty.

Cheers, Christian

errors come back! It doesn't mean that I keep the same cd in for the

Hi bonsiware,

I cannot confirm, but after installing a new firmware on the TS-632D
DVDRW drive which I found on
http://www.toshibaer.com/firmware/index.php?path=TS-L632D/
those ata timeouts completely disappeared on my Aspire 9412AWSMi, so
I suppose this is not a kernel bug, but rather was a firmware bug.

I found out that my DVDRW drive had revision AC00 on it, the bin file in  
the
zip file is revison AC01. I used TS-L632D_AC01_Acer_OEM.zip

You need Windows to flash the firmware, though. Be aware that flashing a  
new
firmware on your DVDRW drive may destroy it if flashing fails or you flash  
a
wrong firmware.

Exactly the same here.

I have a new laptop: Wortmann Terra MOBILE-BUSINESS M 8400
iC-T2500/15.4 GLARE

Is there any hope that it will be fixed soon?

2006-09-01 Thread José M . López-Cepero
Sorry for not answering earlier - I have been without internet
connection.

I have found what seems to be a workaround. Don't ask me how it is
supposed to work, though :D

Apparently, when I boot up using the Edgy CD I downloaded and choosing
Boot from first hard disk from the menu, the CD gets put in the mrw
address space DMA (whatever that is) and the system may go on happily
for days (very rarely I get a hangup, but it would be like one in a week
or so. I don't know why that happens (note that the only thing from the
CD that gets executed is the bootloader), but it seems to be reliable...

Cheers

well, lately i updated my edgy box and the stable kernel wasn't stable
anymore.

I finally spotted (i guess) which software messed it up:
*hal
*libhal-storage1
*hal-device-manager
*libhal1

stables version for me are:
hal_0.5.7.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb
hal-device-manager_0.5.7.1-0ubuntu5_all.deb
libhal-storage1_0.5.7.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb
libhal1_0.5.7.1-0ubuntu5_i386.deb

josé, you might be able to get thos from ftp://ftp.port80.se/ubuntu

hope this helps

well, kernel 2.6.15-23-686 is definitely stable on edgy, but not on dapper.
This is exactely the same .deb package so I start to believe that something 
else interact with the sata drive and create the slowing down.
Maybe some power management software. I couldn't point this out so far.

lately i tried an older kernel, 2.6.15-23-686 that I could download from
ftp://ftp.port80.se/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.15/ .

It seems to be stable on my edgy system (I did'nt get any ata1 is slow to 
respond).
The same kernel on dapper kept on freezing up.

A new dump if it can help.

Well, the dump start with a hibernation, he computer came back from hibernation 
fine.
Did some reboot to try out alternatives and then let my computer turned on 
overnight. Even though the computer was not doing much task (simply turn on), 
there were a slow to respond issue about once every hours :s.

same here again.
2.6.17-5 (if I remember well) don't boot at all, it uncompress the kernel, load 
essential modules and then hang on mounting root filesystem.
the timeout could be changed in include/linux/libata.h
bu modifying ATA_TMOUT_BOOT, it is then used in 
drivers/scsi/libata-core.c

check this out, might be a solution.

[Bug 53754] Re: ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset

2006-08-09 Thread José M . López-Cepero
A small update. Today I have struck a lucky chord: it's already almost
5h uptime and not a single hang (and, therefore, my wireless connection
is working happily). If I do a dmesg, the following suspicious lines
appear:

[17179641.092000] cdrom: sr0: mrw address space DMA selected
[17179641.116000] Assertion failed! qc-n_elem  
0,drivers/scsi/libata-core.c,ata_fill_sg,line=2531
[17179641.376000] cdrom: sr0: mrw address space DMA selected
[17179641.38] Assertion failed! qc-n_elem  
0,drivers/scsi/libata-core.c,ata_fill_sg,line=2531

Whatever that means, I have not seen them before (and I don't remember
updating the kernel from yesterday to today). The system seems to work
perfectly fine, with no evident negative consequences of the failed
assertion, and with no hangs. The CD works seemingly OK, and copying
large files out of it doesn't clog the CPU, but the maximum transfer
speed seems to be around 2 MB/s. I'd rather endure that than the hangs.
If any of you know of any way to force the mrw address space DMA, that
might be a good enough workaround for the moment...

I'll leave the computer running overnight to be sure, and then reboot
and see if it magically works again...

Please try one of the Edgy Knot CD's. You can boot liveCD and check if
it operates your hardware correctly.

2006-08-08 Thread José M . López-Cepero
Edgy Eft LiveCD Knot 1 won't boot. The process hangs rather early in the
bootup sequence: in the initrd, while trying to mount the root
filesystem. After a few seconds, it bails out to a BusyBox prompt
complaining that it does not have access to the tty because job control
is turned off (or something similar). The MD5sum of the CD is correct,
so it is not a recording problem on my side.

Any other ideas? :(

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your reply. I'm rather confident I'm current with all
updates. The kernel package I'm using is

linux-image-2.6.15-26-386
Version 2.6.15-26.46

It is indeed from dapper-security; I can't seem to find a way for
synaptic or apt-cache to show me the date, though.

I have seen that Edgy has a slightly more advanced kernel version, and
that building custom kernels in Dapper and below is rather discouraged.
Do you think updating to Edgy would help? (I have quickly glanced
through 2.6.17 changelogs, but found nothing libata related). I have run
Breezy and Dapper already before release, but not this early in the
release cycle.

Thanks again for your reply. If there is any other test I can carry out
for you, please let me know.

[Bug 53754] Re: ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset

2006-08-06 Thread José M . López-Cepero
Just wanted to let you know that this bug has a _really_ nasty
interaction with the wireless chip on the laptop (a fairly common
ipw3945). When one of these hanges occurs, the module may crash with a
PREEMPT, which essentially means that wireless is lost unless the
computer is rebooted. The probabilities of this occurring are seemingly
related with the network activity at the time of the hang. For instance,
if I run aMule and have some downloads going on (nothing too speedy,
maybe 30 kb/s between upload and download) the wireless connection will
rarely be up for more than 1 hour. (No exaggeration - it actually just
went out as I was writing this report - total uptime is 12 _minutes_).

I'm a little frustrated at not being able to use my favourite distro
effectively on my computer. I understand that maybe this is not the
correct place to report the bug, or that I should provide more
information, or that you are just very busy at the moment, and that's
why there are no advances on the issue. In that case, I'd  really like a
pointer to what to do next to help you, or to the correct libata
mantainer. As I said before, I like to think that I'm a rather savvy
Linux user, but if it comes to low-level kernel debugging, I'm totally
at a loss.

And sorry (again). When the CD error occurs, it is always (or at least
the times I have noticed) a read TOC error such as the one above. But
there is no disc in the drive to read the TOC from. I don't know if it
is usual to issue read TOC commands in empty drives...
