https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=242316 Summary: sata_nv (10.2) does not work on MSI K9N Ultra 2F (nForce 570) and prevents installation on SATA-disk; OpenSuse 10.1 does not have this problem Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hermanns@dirk-hermanns.com QAContact: qa@suse.de When booting OpenSuse 10.2 (x86_64 DVD, i386 DVD, and i386 live DVD) no SATA hard disks are detected. I have a MSI K9N Ultra 2-F (MS-7500, nVidia nForce 570; BIOS 3.30 from Dec, 2006), my CPU is an Athlon64 X2 4200+. Here are the correspondig lines from dmesg (i386 live DVD) --- cut --- scsi0 : sata_nv ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec) ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) ata1: SRST failed (status 0xFF) ata1: SRST failed (err_mask=0x100) ata1: follow-up softreset failed, retrying in 5 secs --- cut --- After that I sucessfully installed OpenSuse 10.1 (SUSE-Linux-10.1-Remastered-DVD-x86_64.iso) on my PC. Nevertheless I want to switch to OpenSuse 10.2 x86_64. Since Fedora Core 6 (2.6.18) behaves like OpenSuse 10.2 and Ubuntu 6.10 (2.6.17) behaves like OpenSuse 10.1, I think that the problems are related to the major changes of sata_nv/libata (switch from version 0.8 to 2 and from scsi directory to ata). Maybe the old version tolerated more BIOS- and acpi table flaws. -- 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.
