https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270233 ------- Comment #3 from volker3204@paradise.net.nz 2007-05-01 03:58 MST ------- The big part of the ata_piix delay comes from a timeout, and 2 more retries after 5s with another timeout each. This does not occur if there is actually a disk in the cdwriter. There was no disk in the dvdrom, so that drive doesn't have timeouts. The cdwriter is a SONY CD-RW CRX225E. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=270233#c10 --- Comment #10 from Volker Kuhlmann 2007-06-24 00:00:07 MST --- This is with the installed system. Booting without media in the optical drives and booting with a CD in the cdrw drive makes no difference. No slowdowns when ata_piix is loaded. All 3 drives are found: [0:0:0:0] disk ATA SAMSUNG SP0802N TK20 /dev/sda [0:0:1:0] cd/dvd ASUS DVD-ROM E616 2.0 - [1:0:1:0] cd/dvd SONY CD-RW CRX225E QYB1 - However, there are no block device entries in /dev for either of the optical drives. The only block devices are for fd0, loop, mdN, and sda. There are /dev/sg[012] corresponding to the 3 drives. A CD in the cdrw can be accessed with cdrecord Media in either optical drive can not be mounted due to a lack of a block device to mount them from. No scdN or srN around. Inserting media in either drive after booting with empty drives does not cause any more block devices to appear in /dev or any more output of dmseg. # grep -i suse /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 10.3 (i586) Alpha5 Linux ruru 2.6.22-rc4-git3-2-default #1 SMP 2007/06/12 15:00:04 UTC i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # cat /proc/cmdline root=/dev/md2 vga=0x317 resume=/dev/sda2 splash=silent # lsmod | grep pii piix 12932 0 [permanent] ide_core 121412 2 generic,piix i2c_piix4 12300 0 i2c_core 27648 1 i2c_piix4 ata_piix 18820 4 libata 118964 1 ata_piix Is this a separate bug or a symptom of the same problem? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Additionally, the block devices ram0 and sr[01] are created. /dev/sr0 can be mounted ok. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You reported that you were seeing a loooong delay.
