This includes latest kernel-debug

(sorry for the delay)

I have run with debug kernels for a number hours without problems (the
machine otherwise runs windows from a sata drive).

I've tried with a minimal .config kernel 2.6.28.rc2 latest git -- same
result, though it survived bonnie++ and took all of 21 minutes before
locking up. Same config with the debug options from fedora enabled seems
to be working (1h+) though I'll test it some more.

I'll look into trying different compiler. The rc2 test was with gcc Red
Hat 4.3.2-6 and Ubuntu 4.3.2-1ubuntu11 in a distcc thing.

Could it be hardware related? The HD in question is oldish -- rest of
machine is new. Still, it seems 100% stable with those debug options
turned on.

Is there anything I can do to find out what is happening here? I can
patch the kernel easily enough, or look into using kgdb, but I really
have no idea what to look for.

For the record:
2.6.28.4-47.rc3.fc10.x86_64 -- bad (3 min uptime)

New lockup, with a complete break in pattern:
1. 2.6.27.4-51.fc10.x86_64.debug (all debug kernels so far had worked)
2. SATA (sata_nv) dmraid (raid-0 nvidia ntfs ro) instead of main PATA-IDE ext3 
(which kept working)

Lockup was for ~15-20 minutes(?), then worked again for ~8 minutes, then
locked up again.

I cannot seem to get main drive to lock up like that with this kernel.

I cannot tell if this is new to this kernel, I only recently set this
up. (The dmraid did not activate out of the box). It locked up within
minutes on this kernel after working for a few hours on a 28.rc2-git
thing.

I am having the same problem. I have built a machine around an Asus P5N-
EM motherboard. I am running a 32-bit kernel, not 64-bit.

Originally, I had an IDE boot drive with Fedora 10 installed on it, and
a spare SATA drive for server disk space.

I had this install of F10 completely updated with the latest "yum
update" but can't access that drive now to see what kernel version it
had - it was whatever version was current this week (ca. Jan 20 - I
worked on this problem off and on all week).

The machine would run for a few minutes, and then the disk light would
come on and stay on. The machine still ran, but disk I/O quit working.
Anything in memory (cached, I guess) would still work - I could open
xterm, and read files like "messages" that were not yet written to disk.
But new commands that were not in cache would not work (said
"Input/output error." at the shell prompt), and I could not ctl-alt-F8
to the text console and log in as root.

Suspecting a hardware problem, I spent a lot of time running diagnostics
like smartctrl and booting from Hiren's boot disk and running Seagate
and Maxtor utilities. Every single disk diagnostic comes back clean. The
problem is not in the IDE drive itself, or if it is, it's a problem that
diagnostics can't find.

Today, I unplugged the IDE drive, and put a base install of F10 on the
SATA drive which has 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686. The machine no longer locks
up while it is running. But it prints this message every 10-20 seconds:

This machine was built back in November/December, and worked fine for a
while - but I never had time to finish doing anything with it. This
week, I booted and ran the "yum update" and it was the first time I
noticed these problems. However, they could have been there all along,
but it certainly didn't lock up as it was running.

I have installed CentOS 5.2 on this machine, and have no ATA errors like
this.

What bothers me is this is the third SATA bug I've encountered where a
working system breaks for no apparent reason because of an upgrade. One
was fixed, and the other two are open. I have a Blu-Ray burner that is a
brick because of one of these errors. All three of these are situations
where Fedora worked fine on the hardware, but an upgrade broke the
existing system. The first one was a year or two ago, and was eventually
fixed. But these two are open and inactive. I can't live with this any
more, so this is the end of the line with Fedora for me. I have to run
Fedora for some IBM software I develop with, but will try to see if I
can get it to run on SuSE, or CentOS. I've used Red Hat since 5.2, but
can't deal with these broken systems any longer.

I could understand if Fedora had bleeding-edge new stuff that wasn't
working. I don't have any problems with that. But I have problems with
existing, working code suddenly breaking to the point the systems aren't
usable.

Hi to all,

I'm having the same troubles ,as in comment's 14 16 17  18.


For note 12 ,I now for "sure" ,that the main disk never gets 

locked that way. In my experiences ,the disk witch contain the '/'

never gets involved in this .I say for "sure" because I do shuffle

a lot with disks ,file systems ,and partitioning schemes .
  

In my case ,the "normal" disks set-up is :

sda ,sdb ,sdc = sata build-in HD's

ata 5 = DVD-RW (Aopen)

the '/' is on sdb ,
/tmp ;/var/tmp ;/var/spool ;/var/cache/yum ;/usr ;/usr/lib64 ;/usr/share ;
and some other subdir's are all in there own partition divided over the
3 disks .All of this for flexibility ,performance (by using parallelism) etc.

For now ,since the update 2009/02/23 ,disks sda and sdc are no longer
locking as

in message 17 . But ata5 (DVD) does .

Because ,from time to time ,I also use other disk's and file-systems
,I'm

"nearly sure" there is no hardware ore file system issue .

Also noteworthy is that there is "something & somewhere" polling via the
D-bus

all of the time ,which slows down seriously other system functions.
 
It seems the D-bus is occupied by this problem ,but I can't find a clue .  



OS = F10 x86_64 all in ext4 except /boot ,latest update yesterday.

I also have a machine around an Asus P5VDC-MX motherboard.

Is there a solution somehow ?

Thanks a lot

So the bug should fixed in the newest updates of fedora kernel
(2.6.27.21 based). Johan could you confirm that ?

BTW: Johan in your dmesg are lot of messages like that:

attempt to access beyond end of device
sdc: rw=0, want=625160072, limit=312581808
Buffer I/O error on device sdc1, logical block 78144752

sdc: rw=0, want=625160072, limit=312581808
Buffer I/O error on device sdc1, logical block 78144752
attempt to access beyond end of device

It is serious problem which can cause data corruption. It can be something wrong
it the software working on the top of ata devices (filesystem, device maper) or 
maybe in ata itself or a hardware problem (memory corruption, chipsets etc...)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'

please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
