[Bug 222253] Re: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Kernel does not support VIA C3 CPU
I have made custom kernels before, but I have no idea what to say in make menuconfig to get around this on an old HP laptop. I can boot of the cd and get to a /dev/sda1 shell prompt and look around, but there appears no solution yet that I've been able to find. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/53 Title: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Kernel does not support VIA C3 CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/53/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ysangkok , this is a VIA chipset, right? What I am noticing in your dmesg log is that the ACPI stuff isn't properly read in.

[Bug 220706] Re: Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
Thanks for your post, Jmax. I have a similar thing here. I have 2 machines equipped with SATA DVD drives and swapped the DVD drives (both Pioneer). When I use the older DVR 212 in the machine with the Asus P5N-E Sli board (NVidia 650i), I can boot into the live CD (Ubuntu 8.10). During shut down however, I still get messages with SRST. So, looks like there is at least _also_ a problem with the hard reset behavior of the Pioneer DVR 212 / 215 drives. Can be that the NVidia chipset is doing fine, but Pioneer screwed hard reset up. -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 220706] Re: Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
Robert, right. What _I_ find most annoying is, that Pioneer does not seem to support writing the firmware of their DVD drives using Linux (not even booting into DOS with a plain old 3.5 floppy drive). That sucks. -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 220706] Re: Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
Robert, 2.6.27-4 probably has the correct(?) patch from Tejun Heo for sata_nv.c. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/220706/comments/16 The patch went in. I know for sure it was in 2.6.27-rc7 from Linus. But at some later point in time, the sata_nv.c code has changed again. Changed, so that the hard reset is back on NVidia. I pointed to that. The final vanilla 2.6.27 from kernel.org *does* the hard reset. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/220706/comments/22 Shit happens. -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 220706] Re: Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
Robert, the Ubuntu team verifyied that the patch was in. Somebody else broke it. It is a tricky issue, since it appears that it *only* happens with certain NVidia chipsets and certain Pioneer DVD drives. Not so easy. Neither kernel developers, nor the Ubnutu team can test all HW combinations possible.

[Bug 220706] Re: Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
After an upgrade of the firmware on the DVD drive, I can now confirm that the upgrade of the Pioneer DVR-215D (or DBK as in my case -- that is the same drive) to the current version (1.18) fixes the probem with the hard reset and the NVidia 650i (Southbridge MCP51) chipset.

[Bug 220706] Re: Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
Thanks, Leann. I also tested the vanilla 2.6.27 from kernel.org. Much to my surprise, this kernel gives me the old error (hard resets, then DVD drive not recognised). The code in sata_nv.c looks different then what Tejun had in his patch.

Alpha 6 (Xubuntu Intrepid x86_64) boots on Asus P5N-E Sli (NVidia 650i chipset). No errors or warnings. Again: This is speciific to NVidia MCP51 (sata_nv.c). People with P35 or other chipsets are another issue.

[Bug 220706] Re: Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
Tested with Xubuntu Intrepid alpha 5 x86_64. I tested again on Asus P5N-E SLI board (BIOS rev. 0901) , 4 Gb RAM, Core2 Duo 8200. Pioneer DVR-215D. Again I the DVD drive is not recognised. Error messages have changed somewhat. The hard reset loop is now gone. The boot process just halts. dmesg: ata4: SRST failed (errno=-16) ata4: link online but device misclassified, retrying ata4: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=-19) ata4: SRST failed (errno=-16) ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) == Device can handle max 1.5 Gbps anyway ata4: link online but device misclassified, retrying ata4: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps ata4: SRST failed (errno=-16) ata4: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) ata4: link online but device misclassified, device detection might fail (2 more messages) I contacted Tejun Heo asking him about http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/20/51 (same as patch attached) and he said this patch would go upstream, since the early Nvidia chipsets have problems. Here is an explanation from Tejun Heo: Well, it looks like some of the earlier nv's just can't cope with hardresetting. It was okay before not because hardreset worked but it wasn't simply used. Hotplugging doesn't have any direct dependence on hardreset as long as PHY event is delivered. Hotplug and hardreset usually go together as virtually all controllers which support PHY events implement SCRs which can be used to hardreset. Anyways, without hardreset, the only lost functionality is to handle some exotic malfunctioning device cases and ability to unlock some limitations BIOS has put, both of which should be too big a problem in most cases.

[Bug 220706] Re: Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16)
In my case, the problem results from changes from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26 in the sata_nv driver (sata_nv.c). Applying this patch (which is only an experiment) http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/20/51 prevents the endless reset loops. And the DVD drive is usable as with 2.6.25. Still, I am surprised that I am the only person with this particular mainbord / DVD drive combination. -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
