[Kernel-packages] [Bug 810791] Re: Softreset failed (device not ready) with Gigabyte motherboard

2020-02-01 Thread cdgoldin 
I had a similar problem. It turned out to be a bad cd-rom drive (or a
bad IDE-to-SATA adapter that the drive was using). I disconnected both.
The problem disappeared. I installed a new SATA drive. The problem has
not re-appeared.

Title:
  Softreset failed (device not ready) with Gigabyte motherboard

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I originally reported this in Bug 285392.   However, I'm not sure that
  this is the same bug, or a different one with the same symptom.

  I am seeing this problem on a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 motherboard. I
  have tried changing the BIOS setting for both AHCI and IDE modes. I
  get the same error upon boot.

  After a reboot I have been seeing this error randomly all the time.  
Sometimes it seems to work ok, sometimes not.
  I have done 2 dist-upgrades from Lucid (10.04.2 LTS ) to Maverick ( 10.10 ) 
to Natty ( 11.04 ).  This bug has been present in all of these versions of 
Ubuntu.

  Boot messages follow:

  The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present
  Continue to wait; or Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery
  [ 1.740026] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready)
  [ 1.740032] ata6: softreset failed (device not ready)
  [ 1.740058] ata5: softreset failed (device not ready)
  [ 1.740062] ata4: softreset failed (device not ready)

  init: udevtrigger main process (467) terminated with status 1
  init: udevtrigger post-stop process (471) terminated with status 1
  init: udevmonitor main process (466) killed by TERM signal
  udevd[453]: specified group 'camera' unknown

  Ever since Lucid, there are 2 problems with this motherboard that I've
  been having:

  1) It doesn't seem to boot correctly from the first HDD if USB-HDD or CDROM 
are anywhere above in the boot priority list
  2) Every so often I still get the "softreset" and "The disk drive for /home 
is not ready yet or not present" errors (This is random.. it's usually /home, 
/, or whatever other partition happens to complain).

  AHCI vs IDE modes in the BIOS don't change anything. I'm guessing it's
  a Gigabyte motherboard issue, or something to do with the ATI SB7x0
  chipset. So far I haven't tried compiling a new kernel with
  "CONFIG_SATA_PMP=n" yet... but that seems like it might work...

Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1750232] Re: Linux Mint/Ubuntu is taking modem off-hook during logon

2018-02-20 Thread cdgoldin 
As stated earlier, this "issue" began with the upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04, and 
remained until 16.04. Now it has recurred, as a result of an update/upgrade, 
but 
I don't know which one, as I only noticed it on 15th February 2018. I did try 
booting from Linux kernels 4.4.0-101.124, 4.4.0-103.126, 4.4.0-104.127, 
4.4.0-108.11, 4.40-109.132, as well as 4.4.0-112.135, but the problem didn't 
disappear.
I am unable to test the 4.16 kernel[0]. I don't understand the complex 
"instructions", and I doubt that v4.16 will work on my system, since it has not 
been offered as an update.

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.16 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Linux Mint/Ubuntu is taking modem off-hook during logon

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As of 15 February 2018 (and possibly earlier) the following bug has
  been reintroduced:

  When Linux Mint (Cinnamon OR Mate) OR UBUNTU starts up (_after_ the
  login screen), the Smartlink internal modem is taken off hook, and
  remains off hook (disabling the telephone line) until such time as the
  system is shut down or rebooted (in which case it goes off hook again
  after login).

  This annoying bug was introduced with Linux Mint 17.0 Trusty, and also
  occurs with Ubuntu 14.04. It disappeared with Linux Mint 18.0 Xenial
  (which is based on Ubuntu 16.04). Now it is back, possibly as a result
  of the latest updates, possibly earlier.

  Yes, since Linux no longer supports the Smartlink modem, even with the
  modifications to the kernel that previously worked, I could simply
  disconnect the internal modem. But I dual-boot to Windoze, and DO use
  it without problem in Windoze, so it is more than an annoyance.

  I can understand Linux not supporting hardware, but it is unacceptable
  that Linux is sending commands to unsupported hardware whihc cause it
  to malfunction.

  As a Linux USER, I have no way of isolating the component causing the
  bug. It will require a trace of what is written to the COM port(s)
  during login. But, since it was fixed before, there should be some
  record of the cause and solution.

With such an overly-complicated and counter-productive "bug reporting"

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem.
While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel)
please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1750232

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable
to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change
the bug status to 'Confirmed'.
