RE: ATA - Trouble mounting secondary master
I just rebooted on an August 11 kernel. My system still is happy with the disks. Hmm. I can't remember exactly where my tracing went, before I left off before, but the message you are seeing comes from /sys/i386/isa/diskslice_machdep.c, line 200 (version 1.35). What you will probably find, is that if you put a line that goes: goto reread_mbr instead of "goto done", you will find that, on the second attempt, it reads the mbr successfully. The above is a severe kludge, and that is why I never committed any code to do anything of the sort. I think the error is actually somewhere in the ATA code (sorry Soren). I don't want to patch around a bug. Now somebody remarked that after the probe, a drive status light stayed on - maybe, the probe is not doing something properly for some drives, or there is somethign timing out. -Original Message- From: Kevin Street [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 August 1999 03:10 To: Soren Schmidt Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ATA - Trouble mounting secondary master Kevin Street [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Soren Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hmm, damn, after the problem went away for Geoff I thought it to be solved since I've never heard of it anywhere else, and I cant reproduce it here no matter what I try.

Re: ATA - Trouble mounting secondary master
Also of interest - I have a seperate access light for each of my drives, as they're in removable bays. I notice the access light for the secondary master remaining on after the kernel driver has done its scanning. The light goes off on this, the failed first access. I believe the light for the primary slave stays on as well, but goes off on the first access to the primary master (which does -not- fail). --- Kevin Street [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Brian McGroarty [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: In using the ATA driver, I'm unable to automatically mount a partition on a master drive on the secondary controller. fsck complains that device rwd2s1e isn't configured and exists. Immediately mounting by hand works perfectly. Nice timing, I was about to send a message with a description of a similar (the same?) problem. The first access to any IDE disk (except the one I'm booting from - wd1) fails with 'device not configured'. This affects swapon for wd2s2b during the boot as well as the first mount for wd0 which happens to have only dos partitions on it. So the problem is not restricted to ufs partitions or to the secondary controller. Repeating the swapon or mount command works normally. I've been seeing this problem for about a month, but I've been away on vacation so am just beginning to look into it. I made changes to all my drives and put them in LBA mode at about the same time as I began seeing this, but I'm not sure if that is related. ata-pci0: Intel PIIX4 IDE controller at device 4.1 on pci0 ata-pci0: Busmastering DMA supported ata0 at 0x01f0 irq 14 on ata-pci0 ata1 at 0x0170 irq 15 on ata-pci0 ata0: master: setting up UDMA2 mode on PIIX4 chip OK ad0: WDC AC310200R/17.01J17 ATA-4 disk at ata0 as master ad0: 9787MB (20044080 sectors), 19885 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S ad0: piomode=4, dmamode=2, udmamode=2 ad0: 16 secs/int, 0 depth queue, DMA mode ata0: slave: setting up UDMA2 mode on PIIX4 chip OK ad1: FUJITSU MPC3084AT/6021 ATA-3 disk at ata0 as slave ad1: 8063MB (16514064 sectors), 16383 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S ad1: piomode=4, dmamode=2, udmamode=2 ad1: 16 secs/int, 0 depth queue, DMA mode ata1: master: setting up UDMA2 mode on PIIX4 chip OK ad2: WDC AC36400L/09.09M08 ATA-4 disk at ata1 as master ad2: 6149MB (12594960 sectors), 13328 cyls, 15 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S ad2: piomode=4, dmamode=2, udmamode=2 ad2: 16 secs/int, 0 depth queue, DMA mode acd0: MATSHITA CR-586/KS15 CDROM drive at ata1 as slave acd0: drive speed 5515KB/sec, 256KB cache acd0: supported read types: CD-R, CD-RW, CD-DA acd0: Audio: play, 256 volume levels acd0: Mechanism: ejectable tray acd0: Medium: CD-ROM 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked _ Do You Yahoo!?
