Hello, Jesse. There is a pretty weird ahci init failure[1] reported by Reinhard Max against openSUSE 11.3 on Dell Optiplex 960[2]. It looks like something between the cpu and the controller isn't properly set up and register reads on the controller return garbage values. The problem appeared somewhere between 2.6.33 and 2.6.34-rc3 and is still present in -rc5. The following log from -rc3 seemed :-) relevant to me. <3>pci 0000:00:1f.2: no compatible bridge window for [mem 0xff970000-0xff9707ff] <4>Expanded resource reserved due to conflict with PCI Bus 0000:00 <7>reserve RAM buffer: 000000000009e400 - 000000000009ffff <7>reserve RAM buffer: 00000000cfdffc00 - 00000000cfffffff The full log from -rc3 is available[3]. Any ideas? Thanks. -- tejun [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598520 [2] https://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=356199 [3] https://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=356197 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
