Here my first bugreport on the linux kernel: [1.] One line summary of the problem: SATA Problem: port is slow to respond [2.] Full description of the problem/report: The following messages appear while booting/in dmesg [1]: [...] ata2: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) ata2: port failed to respond (30 secs, Status 0x80) ata2: softreset failed (device not ready) ata2: softreset failed, retrying in 5 secs ata2: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) ata2: port failed to respond (30 secs, Status 0x80) ata2: COMRESET failed (device not ready) ata2: hardreset failed, retrying in 5 secs ata2: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80) ata2: port failed to respond (30 secs, Status 0x80) ata2: COMRESET failed (device not ready) ata2: reset failed, giving up scsi2 : ahci [...] This of course means extra long booting time :( [1] http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/dmesg_2.6.19.3.txt A further issue which - imho is coupled w/ this one - is that my cd/dvd+rw (also sata) combo drive simply does not work: firstly there is no indication in dmesg that it was found and secondly it behaves like dead: it does not open if i press the button and it does not blink; it can be opened until these message appear on the screen. I need to unplug and the replug it after shutting down/reboot so that on the next bootup the bios is able to find it (else it would still behave like dead)! The drive itself is ok i guess (a least it works fine on a differen OS). I found a debian bug report where the problem (but unfortunately not a solution that worked for me) is described: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=391867 [3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel): SATA, ATA [4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version): Linux version 2.6.19.3 (root@kvpc31) (gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)) #2 SMP Thu Feb 15 02:59:14 CET 2007 [8.1.] Software (add the output of the ver_linux script here) http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/ver_linux.txt [8.2.] Processor information (from /proc/cpuinfo): http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/proc_cpuinfo.txt [8.3.] Module information (from /proc/modules): http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/proc_modules.txt [8.4.] Loaded driver and hardware information (/proc/ioports, /proc/iomem) http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/proc_iomem.txt http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/proc_ioports.txt [8.5.] PCI information ('lspci -vvv' as root) http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/lspci-vvv.txt [8.6.] SCSI information (from /proc/scsi/scsi) http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/proc_scsi_scsi.txt [X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds: Also it seems that the System is not capeable of recongnizing the HDD: hdparm -i /dev/sda HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device A user on an German mailinglist suggest to uses pata_atiixp instead of atiixp but yet again this does not work for me: http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-mobile-de/ 2007-01/msg00001.html All the information i collected can be found at: http://wieland.homelinux.org/hp_dc5750/ I've tried several kernel version in the meantime, starting w/ the standard debian testing i386 kernel, then tried different vanilla versions 2.6.18.6, 2.6.19, 2.6.19.3 which are all affected in the same way. However 2.6.20 behaves differently: there is another error message which scrolls over the screen so fast that I'm not able to read it, the only thing i was able to catch that it also concerns (s)ata, looking like 'ata2.0: [...] failed [...]' Please CC I'm *not* subscribed!
