Ysangkok , this is a VIA chipset, right? What I am noticing in your dmesg log is that the ACPI stuff isn't properly read in. Have you tried noacpi or acpi=off for testing? -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220706 You received this bug notification bec

Thanks, Leann. I also tested the vanilla 2.6.27 from kernel.org. Much to my surprise, this kernel gives me the old error (hard resets, then DVD drive not recognised). The code in sata_nv.c looks different then what Tejun had in his patch. Something has gone badly wrong here. -- Boot fails on a

Thanks for your post, Jmax. I have a similar thing here. I have 2 machines equipped with SATA DVD drives and swapped the DVD drives (both Pioneer). When I use the older DVR 212 in the machine with the Asus P5N-E Sli board (NVidia 650i), I can boot into the live CD (Ubuntu 8.10). During shut down

Robert, right. What _I_ find most annoying is, that Pioneer does not seem to support writing the firmware of their DVD drives using Linux (not even booting into DOS with a plain old 3.5" floppy drive). That sucks. -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220

Robert, 2.6.27-4 probably has the correct(?) patch from Tejun Heo for sata_nv.c. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/220706/comments/16 The patch went in. I know for sure it was in 2.6.27-rc7 from Linus. But at some later point in time, the sata_nv.c code has changed again. C

Robert, the Ubuntu team verifyied that the patch was in. Somebody else broke it. It is a tricky issue, since it appears that it *only* happens with certain NVidia chipsets and certain Pioneer DVD drives. Not so easy. Neither kernel developers, nor the Ubnutu team can test all HW combinations pos

After an upgrade of the firmware on the DVD drive, I can now confirm that the upgrade of the Pioneer DVR-215D (or DBK as in my case -- that is the same drive) to the current version (1.18) fixes the probem with the hard reset and the NVidia 650i (Southbridge MCP51) chipset. Thanks. -- Boot fail

Alpha 6 (Xubuntu Intrepid x86_64) boots on Asus P5N-E Sli (NVidia 650i chipset). No errors or warnings. Again: This is speciific to NVidia MCP51 (sata_nv.c). People with P35 or other chipsets are another issue. Thanks. -- Boot fails on ata3: SRST failed (errno=-16) https://bugs.launchpad.net/

In my case, the problem results from changes from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26 in the sata_nv driver (sata_nv.c). Applying this patch (which is only an experiment) http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/20/51 prevents the endless reset loops. And the DVD drive is usable as with 2.6.25. Still, I am surprised that I
