Given what I've seen of Ashley's symptoms, it may be more BIOS related than chipset related, and I think the only OSB4 chipset board with a PC-style BIOS I have is the FORCE CPCI one; I checked my other boxen that are currently running, and the only other ServerWorks board I have up right now is a Dell 1600SC server, and it's an OSB5. I think I have four boxen with dual PIII's that probably have OSB4's, but they are oddballs that boot into Sun-style OpenPROM x86 (Network Appliance NetCaches; would love to get a Linux on them, but, AFAIK (and I'd love to be shown that I'm wrong), only the SPARC Linux distributions can boot from OpenPROM (used on virtually all Sun SPARC boxen) and don't have a PC-style BIOS). And even then if it's a BIOS issue that won't help any.

Restoring the BIOS to default settings is something the update does by default. In fact, it completely clears the CMOS, updates the BIOS and upon reboot a message pops up saying the CMOS isn't set and it's reverting to default values. The only thing I changed after that was to set the power failure option to 'power on' when AC is restored. Everything else is at default. That was one of the things I tried early on too, just to make sure it wasn't me that messed something up. And I also did just boot up, with no parameters at all, after the update. Then slowly started adding stuff ... The acpi=off was one of the first parameters I added after the first boot failed. By now I've seen so many different iterations of the lock up, I couldn't tell you where exactly it locked up. There are other hardware quirks that I've discovered throughout all of this. For example, if I were to disable the on-board SCSI bus, it pegs the HDD light to on at all times. No clue why. Leaving the SCSI bus at the default 'enabled' state, the HDD light works as expected. I'd rather disable it since it's not being used at all but if I do that, someone else will inevitably call me at 3 in the morning just to tell me the machine is overloaded because the HDD light is pegged on. Not a phone call I'm willing to take and he or she who called will not want to face me the next morning. Floppy drive? What floppy drive? By default that's turned on in BIOS, as is the bus itself (yes, this board allows you to disable one or both) ... disabling the floppy is a two-step process: disable it on the main screen, exit out of it, go back in just to see it enabled again, select disable again and now it sticks. So you see, I know the motherboard has issues, issues I had hoped would eventually get fixed through BIOS updates. I gave Intel the benefit of the doubt and upgraded from 1.1 to 1.3, then 1.5, then 1.7 when I stopped. And then today to 1.13 ... the quirks are still there (and they know about them too because I have a rather lengthy thread from them about these problems.) With the machine now in full production, and having "settled" if you will, I'm more inclined to just say 'To hell with it.' And move on. I have other servers to tend to - like a second RH7.3, also from the same era, but completely different hardware. All in all, I have 9 servers that need an upgrade, some more urgent than others. This was the first one, and was supposed to take all of about 4 hours, not 4 days. :) Now as for sticking around, that I will. As you pointed out, there's a possibility that someone else might have a completely different take on the problem and suggest a different approach, like Lamar.

Do not worry, be happy. You are a brave girl - the way you read all that extended output proves that your are a pro :-) I am afraid you have to give it a shot or two more. Firstly, the reason you updated BIOS was to potentially fix ACPI as well. But you tried F13 with acpi=off kernel parameter ... So, back to a drawing board :-) Once again, remove all parameters, except debugging-output: ignore_loglevel initcall_debug Run it. Secondly, as I asked you before, take a look at BIOS. Just for a kick, every menu (there may be some new stuff as well due to update), do not try to change anything, just get a sense of it all. Then consider if restoring all defaults would be an option, or selecting automatic (where available), or giving up any unnecessary/fancy manual option. Run it. As above. Thirdly, stick around the thread for many days (even weeks) - there is a good chance somebody will have time (like Lamar next week) and come up with a good idea. Or F15 devs will deliver new code that will fix these things in a few months. Do not expect wonders - yes, some of these guys are true pusycats, but these devs are heroes as well - they do not have access to specs, have to deal with proprietary code (like in your case) - but look Ma, they come up with a working software, again and again.

Re: [Fedora] Re: FC14 Installation Hangs
Well, with the confetti guns at the ready, I tried FC13, no dice. Boot options were: ide=nodma noapic acpi=off ignore_loglevel initcall_debug It quit at the same point it has been lately, which is giving me garbage on screen like my image posted yesterday, and ata3 times out, same error as yesterday. By now I have tried: FC14 & FC13 First CD install FC13 First CD install FC14 CD netinst FC14 & FC13 DVD install FC14 & FC13 DVD Live CD-Drive (at least 3 different ones) DVD-Drive (two different ones) Different IDE cables Nothing, it seems stuck at either 'waiting for the cows to come home' or it goes past it but then fails with ata3 timeouts which eventually bombs. I'm not willing to continue trying older versions. So, I'm giving up. CentOS boot disk worked, install worked, the system is up and running and stable, so far. It will remain like that till the day the hardware fails completely and I push the thing off of the back dock. Thank you everyone who tried helping. While there's been no solution to the problem, I'm glad for the help and learned that things don't always work. And when they don't, move on to something that will. In this case, CentOS won the battle. Oh, and that sharp piece of metal that left a nice gash in the palm of my hand while swapping drives for the umpteen times. The machine can now claim to have my DNA on it. Tomorrow is another day, and possibly another battle. Hopefully one with a much better outcome.

Now we're starting to get into the more cryptic stuff ...
1st run:
On tty0, it gets past the 'waiting for the cows to come home'
message and gives me a blue screen, asking me to test the Media. If I
let it test the media, it goes nowhere. The screen also has some junk
on it [1]. If I tell it to skip it, the dialog box goes away, and
that's as far as it goes. When I switch to tty2 to see what's going on,
I see this:
Detected stage 2 image on CD (url: cdrom:///dev/sr0:/mnt/stage2)
loader: stage 2 url is cdrom:///dev/sr0:/mnt/stage2
ata3: lost interrupt (Status 0x58)
ata3: drained 65536 bytes to clear DRQ.
ata3.01: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen
sr 2:0:1:0: [sr0] CDB: Read(10): 28 00 00 00 4f 40 00 00 40 00
ata3.01: cmd a0/01:00:00:00:fc/00:00:00:00:00/b0 tag 0 dma 131072 in
res 40/00:02:00:0c:00/00:00:00:00:00/b0 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
ata3.01: status: { DRDY }
ata3: soft resetting link
ata3.00: configured for MWDMA2
ata3.01: configured for UDMA/25
ata3: EH complete
This repeats 3 times, and eventually it bails with a few lines of:
Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block [various]
Then cycles back to the top error section.
Ok, so perhaps I have a bad disk. Perhaps the drive itself is also
bad even though it ran the CentOS install just fine - I did it through
CD install, and it read all 7 disks with no problems, no errors, nothing.
So, I ripped the drive out, put in a DVD drive instead. Burned a
DVD install disk and powered up the machine. It gets as far as 'GRUB
Loading stage2..' on screen and that's it. The drive's light is
blinking non-stop and it's been sitting there for about 15 minutes now.
Worse than before.
Back to the CD drive and a *new* install disk, just in case the old
one was indeed fubared ... No dice, same thing as posted above. And I
made sure the checksums passed.
Now on to run 2:
Same thing!
As the machine is now in production (running CentOS), it's more
difficult to go through rebooting the thing every time to try and figure
this out. Just saying. I'm willing to keep trying things, but I have
to limit the amount of times I reboot this time every day (and
eventually stop alltogether.)

[Note that there is quite a list of things below to look at, but do look at the bugzilla entry at the very bottom and try that, possibly even first.] On Monday, January 24, 2011 02:09:52 pm Ashley M. Kirchner wrote: > What I don't get is how this dies with FC14 but not with CentOS 5 > ... did they figure out something that the FC developers haven't? No. The Fedora kernel is much newer than the C5 kernel, in terms of kernel version and IDE/ATA driver stack. CentOS 5, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, are somewhat akin to Fedora *6* in terms of the versioning of the kernel. This does not mean security fixes since that kernel version have not been applied; they have been backported by Red Hat. What it does mean is that 17 versions of the 2.6 kernel (half of the versions to date) have passed, and the IDE/ATA drive handling has gone from the older IDE/ATA driver stack to the new libata driver stack, which makes the IDE/ATA drives be handled in the SCSI layer (and thus they become /dev/sdX# instead of /dev/hdX#). I find in the file "/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.35.10/Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-piix4" the statements: +++ If you own Force CPCI735 motherboard or other OSB4 based systems you may need to change the SMBus Interrupt Select register so the SMBus controller uses the SMI mode. 1) Use lspci command and locate the PCI device with the SMBus controller: 00:0f.0 ISA bridge: ServerWorks OSB4 South Bridge (rev 4f) The line may vary for different chipsets. Please consult the driver source for all possible PCI ids (and lspci -n to match them). Lets assume the device is located at 00:0f.0. 2) Now you just need to change the value in 0xD2 register. Get it first with command: lspci -xxx -s 00:0f.0 If the value is 0x3 then you need to change it to 0x1 setpci -s 00:0f.0 d2.b=1 Please note that you don't need to do that in all cases, just when the SMBus is not working properly. Don't know if you're hitting this or not. Although I think I actually have one of those Force Computers CompactPCI boards; I'll have to check, if so I can test this there, at some point (not this week; too busy). Your dmesg shows you do, in fact, have an OSB4-based system, so this might be a part of the problem. Check to see if RHEL6 support is available for this system; if so, there might be a workaround for RHEL6 that might apply to the kernel in F14. Hmmm, looking closer at you C5 dmesg, I find: [snip] type=1404 audit(1295620090.833:2): selinux=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 hdb: ATAPI 48X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, (U)DMA Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 piix4_smbus :00:0f.0: Found :00:0f.0 device 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html [snip] Yeah, the line right after the CD-ROM line, which is where F14 is hanging, is a callout for the piix4_smbus init. Doesn't mean that's the culprit Another possibility is tracked in the thread, and kernel bugzilla, started here: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2010/8/13/4606665 Can you see if F13 will boot up? F14 shipped with 2.6.35.6; F13 with 2.6.33.3. You might be hitting a variant of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665109 There is some specific advice in that Bugzilla entry to try. It seems some of these machines with this chipset actually have ACPI, but it's not exactly 'all there' and a workaround has to be used. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

Current kernel line is: xdriver=vesa nomodeset ide=nodma noapic acpi=off ignore_loglevel enforcing=0 initcall_debug That doesn't give me anything I don't already know or have seen - it looks up after discovering the main drive and CD.

If I try to boot with *just* 'ignore_loglevel irqpoll', same thing, it dies like above.

The critical thing to capture if it hangs is the last value dumped by the initcall debug before it hangs. That's the one that says what the last initialiser (the one that hunge the box) was.

Perhaps this parameter will help give us a hint. Well now this is interesting. The very last line just after the CD-ROM part, and also where it hangs, is: sdd: Which indicates one of the drives, and in this particular case, it would be the main drive (primary bus, master) based on the specs it's listing a few lines above. So a) why is it being listed as sdd and not sda? b) why is it hanging? The CD-ROM is being listed as sdc ... So what happened to sda and sdb? When I boot into CentOS, it correctly sees sda and sdb for the primary drive and CD-ROM, then it moves to sde, sdf, and sdg (which are all on the add-on card). Is it possible that Fedora 14 is somehow reading the add-on card first and assigning sda and sdb to two of the drives there? And if so, then why is it ignoring the 3rd drive that's also on the add-on? I should point out that I have tried various other drives as the primary boot drive when I first started experiencing these lock ups, before I starting posting to the list. So I'm fairly certain it's not the drive itself (otherwise the other 4 that I tried would also be defective, and 2 of those were brand new out of the box.) At this point, I'm inclined to just keep it as is, with CentOS. The machine's been off the net for 24 hours now and I have to get it back into production. So unless someone has a eureka moment, or a burst of bright ideas, I'm going to continue configuring the machine with CentOS and have it in production by Monday. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
