The ata_piix/libata issue occurs ~95% of the boot attempts with openSUSE 10.2. 5% of the time it goes through without a hitch. Looking at the dmesg output of the original post, and my setup, there are some differences (eg. the issue is only occuring on my secondary bus, not the primary bus), and some similarities (I alos have an ST3xxx812A drive as the master device, and a PIONEER DVD-RW as the slave device). I tried a manually compiled 2.6.18 and 2.6.19.1 kernels, and I get the same level of success / failure. When I tried a manually compiled 2.6.17.14 kernel, the problem is not observed. I suspect the issue has been introduced with the change to the ATA drivers that took place in 2.6.18 kernel. In any case, I have a solution that works for me - though it's not ideal. I found that either a) removing the PIONEER DVD-RW solved the problem, or b) swapping the order of the ST drive and PIONEER DVD-RW on the bus solved the problem. As this is the secondary bus, I went with option b) - so now my PIONEER DVD-RW is the master device on the bus, and the ST drive is the slave device. With this modified configuration, the boots are nice and fast once more. -- 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.
