Hello all, My Inspiron 8000 ICH2 (i810) P3/700 UP has a hard time booting 2.6.29 things: [loaded init, shell stuff] ... ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 ata1.01: configured for UDMA/33 ata1: EH complete ... Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 [LAST LINE, FULL STOP] ---> hangs with IDE LED solidly on! <--- NOTE: kernel did NOT hang when accidentally running rc2-git1 w/o any modules loaded! (IOW, probably a module-related hang) disabling sr_mod.ko will make a boot proceed a tiny bit, then hang anyway Could be mutex deadlock (CPU hot, 100%?) no log errors whatsoever latest known working: .28-rc6 (admittedly somewhat old; DOES work currently) earliest known buggy: -rc2-git1, -rc4 also, -rc5 also no SysRq available (notebook keys: no workey, /proc/sysrq obviously not available either) Should I test 2.6.28.5? Every build will take two hours though... Not ATA-SFF 32bit bug problem, right? (already committed?) http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123254501314058&w=2 CONFIG_LOCK_STAT is NOT set/guilty here http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/16/5 Will try disabling CD-ROM drives in BIOS or so. Any other promising ideas/patches available? libata logging? mutex logging? CC'd Tejun since he's been a miracle to work with recently concerning all things ATA ;) On a related note, -rc4 works nicely on my Aspire One, despite me betting that it would end up with at least two new major issues again... (note: plus full UDMA/66 after resume! - Tejun) -rc5 on a P4HT blue skies, too... Maybe kernel quality doesn't actually degrade after all...
