OK, our system does boot 11.3 from the installation media OK, but it cannot find any hard drives ("No Hard Drives found").

I take it that this is because IDE has been removed from 11.3?

Yes, exactly.

How should we proceed?

Boot the media, switch to console 2 (C-A-F2), setup network (like dhcpcd eth0) and # mount /dev/sr0 /mnt # cd / # rpm2cpio /mnt/suse/i586/netcat-1-10...|cpio -i --mak # netcat IP 60000 < /var/log/boot.msg Prior that, run on another machine with IP: netcat -lp 60000 >dmesg And attach the captured dmesg here then. -- 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.

From the lspci, this is not a BIOS bug. I investigated further and it's caused by an ugly quirk code in pci_setup_device. Whenever a device is of IDE class,

But as 0x170 was previously granted to 00:1f.0 (by another quirk), pci_claim_resource complains about the conflict and zeroes the BAR 2. As a result, 00:1f.1 (the IDE controller) has completely bogus resources set. Let's remove the quirk from pci_setup_device, build the kernel[1] and find somebody who can build installation ISOs.

This is weird. Could you check what's in /proc/mounts regarding /dev/sda2 or /dev/root? If /proc is empty (not mounted), you need to: mount -t proc none /proc first. Also is it possible to mount it manually like: mkdir /XX mount /dev/sda2 /XX ? Are you able to cat -A /dev/sda2?

cat /proc/mounts gives: rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /proc /proc proc rw,relatime 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw,relatime 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,relatime,mode=755 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000 0 0 /proc was mounted so no need to mount manually, cat -A /dev/sda2 just gives a screen full of characters.

Why doesn't it mount then? (See Comment #62):

Dunno. Have you tried (from c#64):

mkdir /XX mount /dev/sda2 /XX ? Are you able to cat -A /dev/sda2?

Anyway, what's that machine?

And the kernel also fails to find a root pointer (RSDP) to ACPI tables. Don't you have ACPI disabled in BIOS?

Hmm, that seems like an overkill. What's the problem exactly? Is there a bug entry somewhere? (In reply to comment #76)

output from hexdump -Cv /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:1f.0/config

Hmm, ACPI_EN is 1 which means enabled but it shouldn't when ACPI is off -- is ACPI off in BIOS or only in the kernel? -- 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.

I can certainly file a bug for the interference of ACPI with VME interrupts. The reason I haven't is because it is hard to provide sufficient evidence without assuming a knowledge of the Tundra VME-PCI Bridge chip.

Why? There seems to be only ACPI IRQ routing broken... It is definitely a good idea to file a separate bug for that one (with the information I'm asking below).

we have also to disable APIC in addition to ACPI in order for VME interrupts to be received.

What happens if you enable ACPI and APIC in the BIOS and pass acpi=noirq to the kernel? And if that doesn't help, try to add noapic too.

We disable ACPI/APIC both in the BIOS and in the kernel ("belt and braces"). It doesn't matter which method we use, either or both produces the required state - VME interrupts are received correctly.

I understand, but I want to know whether the dump in the comment#76 was taken when ACPI in the _BIOS_ was disabled. I'm asking because the BIOS still reports that the ACPI base address is available (and correct). And it's not -- that's the IDE bug you are describing here.

If APIC/ACPI are enabled both in the BIOS and in the kernel, VME interrupts, generated correctly by the VME bridge chip are lost and not received by the processor. I believe this is due to a software fault in the Linux kernel.

(Or broken ACPI IRQ routing tables.) -- 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.
