 Upgrade from Etch to Lenny. The computer has an IDE tape attached to

 2.6.18.
 
 Under 2.6.26 ide-tape hangs during boot at:
 [5.776016] ide-tape: hdd - ht0: Seagate STT3401A rev 3
 After about 180 seconds the boot continues somehow, but as I understand 
 it, the cdrom task is still frozen, so the tape and more importantly the
  CDROM are not working.
 
 So, the problem is threefold:
 - long delay on boot
 - tape no longer working
 - cdrom no longer working
 
 I found a report on LKML that looks to be describing exactly the same
 problem:
 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/21/148
 
 The situation is dire since we have this same tape drive on many systems
 and so far I haven't found a way to at least disable it via any 
 configuration means. The hdd=none boot parameter has no efect. 
 Blacklisting ide_tape in modprobe.d also doesn't affect it.

Hi,
The next release of Debian (6.0, code name Squeeze) will be based
on 2.6.32. Please test the current 2.6.32 from unstable/testing and tell
us whether the problem persists. If so, we should report it upstream
to the kernel.org developers.

The 2.6.32 kernel is available from packages.debian.org and can
be installed in both Debian stable, testing and unstable
installations.

Thanks,
Moritz

OK. I will test some time next week and get back to you. The problem has
become less serious in the meantime because hardly anyone uses ide tapes
anymore...

Hi Tzvetan,

 Under 2.6.26 ide-tape hangs during boot at:
 [5.776016] ide-tape: hdd - ht0: Seagate STT3401A rev 3
 After about 180 seconds the boot continues somehow, but as I understand 
 it, the cdrom task is still frozen, so the tape and more importantly the
  CDROM are not working.
 
 So, the problem is threefold:
 - long delay on boot
 - tape no longer working
 - cdrom no longer working
 
 The situation is dire since we have this same tape drive on many systems
 and so far I haven't found a way to at least disable it via any 
 configuration means. The hdd=none boot parameter has no efect. 
 Blacklisting ide_tape in modprobe.d also doesn't affect it.

For me blacklisting the ide_tape module works.

I also don't experience the long delay at boot, it did delay before I
blacklisted the ide_tape module.

My cdrom drive also works normally, I didn't test the cdrom without
blacklisting the ide_tape module. My cdrom is a burner so I also
blacklisted ide_cd module, not sure whether that changes the behaviour.

I also posted a bugreport about this issue in the Debian tracker [1].
