            Bug ID: 176931
           Summary: ata failed to IDENTIFY, suspected regression
           Product: IO/Storage
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.8
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: IDE
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
        Regression: No

I have a old hard drive that shows up as this in lspci:

IDE Interface: NVIDIA Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] SATA Controller (non-AHCI mode) (rev a1)

When I try to boot the machine with kernel 4.8, it will tell me that it cannot mount /dev/sda3 on root, and that the available choices only include sr0. The output before that says something along the lines of

ata1: failed to IDENTIFY

However, the exact same kernel .config(using default options when make prompts) with kernel 4.7.6 works fine.

I can offer SSH(root) access and type commands manually for you if that breaks(but I can only type manually during EST non-business hours). SSH is set to autostart if you need to reboot the machine. I have a live CD on hand. The machine has no important data on it so you don't have to worry about breaking something. Send me a public key if you're interested.

--- Comment #1 from Tejun Heo <[email protected]> --- Does booting with "irqpoll" boot option change anything?

--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- Thank you for your help, it seems that it works with or without irqpoll on linux 4.8.1. I'm not sure if 4.8 still matters anymore. Tell me if you still want to test on 4.8
