Hi,
For example someone has laptop with enabled in BIOS HDD password
feature. When laptop pass POST, user enters the password, LILO trying to
boot the kernel, kernel send RESET to SATA drive and password need to be
entered again - so the kernel panics because it cant mount rootfs. How
this problem can be solved ? Using initrd image and entering password
twice is somewhat ugly. Is this the HDD manufacturer bug ? Kernel is
stock Linus 2.6.23, HDD is WDC WD2500BEVS-22UST0, laptop Acer Ferrari 1100.
This is definitely an under-tested area, as most people do not enable
this feature.
Make sure libata module option 'noacpi' is disabled (0).
It sounds like a software bug, not HDD manufacturer bug, to me.
