Bob, Kushal: ping?
Sorry for not responding earlier. I think this one is a wild goose
chase at least in my case it was like that. Also, I don't have access
to the system anymore exhibiting the problem. Most likely this seems
to be a BIOS/Firmware bug.
Thanks.

Jonathan,
Thanks for checking. Actually we were able to resolve this issue at
the BIOS/Firmware level. There was some resource allocation issue in
the ACPI's PNP devices. But just wanted to make it clear that we
started seeing this issue from 2.6.32 onwards and hence the BIOS fix
was necessary if
Weird. Do you mean that you changed some setting in the BIOS to fix
this, or that you applied a BIOS update? Is there somewhere we can
read about the firmware update (e.g., a BIOS changelog) to see if
there is anything Linux could or should be doing to avoid similar
problems in the future?
I have verified that this issue still occurs on the latest stable
kernel (2.6.37)
from kernel.org and obviously on Debian Squeeze too.
What would it take to report this bug upstream?
Thanks!

It seems that upon passing the kernel boot parameter
libata.force=40c solves the problem. Should I still report this
upstream?
Thanks!

I have found the same problem. The system waits for a keyboard input activity
to boot further. Also I have found that it happens during shutdown also.
Also this happens more when you disable Periodic SMI option in the BIOS.

let me know if you want any other kind of logs or if you would like me
to do some additional testing.
Thanks

I think I had the same problem.
See this:
http://blogs.koolwal.net/2009/05/11/tip-debian-linux-kernel-firmware-issues-ethernet-drivers-missing/
Basically add non-free to sources.list and then do:
apt-get update
apt-get install firmware-linux

or a kernel
issue.
How about a fixed bios?Bastian - I do have access to the person who writes the
BIOS for this computer. I am not a BIOS expert by
any chance but can you give me some idea/hint as to what should I be asking the
BIOS guy to look into in
order to fix this issue?
Thank you.

Package: linux-image-2.6.30-1-686
Version: 2.6.30-1
Severity: normal
am using Debian 5.0 with 2.6.30 kernel. I see the following messages during
kernel boot. Here is the relevant dmesg output:
[ 4.368333] ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x6
[ 4.368424] ata1.00: BMDMA stat
Package: linux-source-2.6.28
Version: 2.6.28-1
Severity: minor
Not sure if this is intential or not, but after unpacking linux-source-2.6.28,
I found a file patch-2.6.28.5-6.bz2.sign in the root of source directory.
Never saw this in previous kernel sources - so just thought to report it.

Also I am not a DD so I might not be aware 100% of the freeze policy as I ask
this question.
Thanks
