BIOS Onboard IDE Operating Mode is set to "S-ATA", because i use only SATA harddrives. With 2.6.20-x i get something like
irq18: nobody cared disabling irq 18 ... hde: dma_timer_expiry dma status == 0x24 hde: DMA interrupt recovery hde: lost interrupt ... hde: dma_timer_expiry dma status == 0x24 hde: DMA interrupt recovery hde: lost interrupt in an endless loop during bootup. I attached a screenshot with these log messages because i cannot find them in /var/log/messages. If i set BIOS "IDE Operate Mode" to SATA and PATA i get the same, if i set it to PATA i get something similar but with "hda" instead of "hde". Strange thing is, my primary SATA drive has always been "/dev/sda". Now it seems to be recognized as "/dev/hde" and with "ls /dev" after booting from a herd3 cd, i do not see ANY sdx device. ** Attachment added: "screenshot of boot with lost irq" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6313534/screenshot_boot_with_lost_irq.jpg -- kernel 2.6.20-5 doesn't boot with sata-hd https://launchpad.net/bugs/78288 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
