Public bug reported: When I installed kernel 3.6 (and later 3.6.1) I found it can't boot my system. But with kernel 3.5.0-17 (from distro) all is fine. Next messages appears during boot with kernel 3.6(.1):
ata7: ACPI get timing mode failed (AE 0x300b) ata7: ACPI get timing mode failed (AE 0x300b) ata7: ACPI get timing mode failed (AE 0x300b) ata7: prereset failed (errno=-19) ata7: reset failed, giving up ata8: ACPI get timing mode failed (AE 0x300b) ata8: ACPI get timing mode failed (AE 0x300b) ata8: ACPI get timing mode failed (AE 0x300b) ata8: prereset failed (errno=-19) ata8: reset failed, giving up Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/8e6ab4ba-b981-4821-8683-9fa908a748e5 does not exist. Dropping to a shell! BusyBos v1.19.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.19.3-7ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands (initramfs) Looks like kernel 3.5.0-18 uses pata_jmicron kernel module for driving controller, but since kernel 3.6 (and later) pata_acpi module used instead, and it's fail to work with controller properly.
