https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176931 Bug ID: 176931 Summary: ata failed to IDENTIFY, suspected regression Product: IO/Storage Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 4.8 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: P1 Component: IDE Assignee: io_ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: be11f157cd19c4a2ba1e9c70a38b1a74@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No I have a old hard drive that shows up as this in lspci: IDE Interface: NVIDIA Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] SATA Controller (non-AHCI mode) (rev a1) When I try to boot the machine with kernel 4.8, it will tell me that it cannot mount /dev/sda3 on root, and that the available choices only include sr0. The output before that says something along the lines of ata1: failed to IDENTIFY However, the exact same kernel .config(using default options when `make` prompts) with kernel 4.7.6 works fine. I can offer SSH(root) access and type commands manually for you if that breaks(but I can only type manually during EST non-business hours). SSH is set to autostart if you need to reboot the machine. I have a live CD on hand. The machine has no important data on it so you don't have to worry about breaking something. Send me a public key if you're interested. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- 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
