Summary: Kernel fails to properly identify SATA drives Product: Platform Specific/Hardware Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: kernels from 2.6.24 to 2.6.25 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: blocking Priority: P1 Component: x86-64 AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected]Latest working kernel version: 2.6.22.9 and 2.6.23.17
Earliest failing kernel version: 2.6.24
Distribution: Ubuntu
x86_64Hardware Environment: Asus M2R32-MVP 580X SB600 (AM2)
AMD X2 4000+
4GB DDR2
SATAII HDD
SATA DVD R/WSoftware Environment: Ubuntu Gutsy w/ distribution kernel (2.6.22-14)
Problem Description: All 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 kernels fail to boot properly, with the following error looping indefinitely:
ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) ata2.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4)
The above correspond to my two SATA physical drives. All 2.6.22 and 2.6.23 kernels work perfectly on this same machine. Was there some type of change starting with the 2.6.24 kernels that is rendering my PC inoperable? I have tried looking for similar reports on this, and so far I have only found one entry on the mailing list that deals with the same issue. The problem was apparently solved by a BIOS flash to the latest revision, which I'm reluctant to do since the newest BIOS from ASUS has several bugs that renders my particular system unusable.

Steps to reproduce:
Using the 0906 BIOS revision for the M2R32-MVP motherboard and SATA drives.
I expect this regression is due to ata, rater than being caused by changes to the underlying platform support.

If it's a regression, are there any plans on a fix? Is the issue even known? Reason I ask is because I have been having a real hard time getting any straight answers on this.
