@stefan, I have already tested the behaviour with the mainline kernels closest to 2.6.27-14 and 2.6.28-11. I have not tested any version after 2.6.28-11. In all this cases, using the ahci module produces the timeouts, but ata_piix works fine. If only i could tell the 2.6.28 kernels to use ata_piix instead of ahci, i'd take the bug as solved through a workaround.
If you tell me how i can recover the complete dmesg log from the boot sequence, i'd be happy to provide one. actually, i'd love it if you could explain how can i recover the complete boot mesages that tipically go to tty8 after boot, as the ata timeouts are also printed there and it allows to see at which point in the boot sequence the disk starts to hang. In any case, i'm losing all hope with this bug, and i am still not sure if its not hardware related, but i have tested with smart tools and in windows and the drive seems to behave. thanks for your interest. -- entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem -- ata timeout exception with ahci libata driver (was with 2.6.28-11, but i confirmed it affewcts previous kernels too) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352197 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
