I'm running a 2.4.21 kernel on a redhat 9.0 system.
I'm having a problem when using serial ATA drives on an Intel 875P/ICH5
motherboard where the kernel will hang at approximately the same place
in the boot process about 25% of the time.
My system is an Intel P4 motherboard with 875P and an ICH5. The BIOS
setting for the disk drives is "enhanced" mode. The /boot partition is
on a parallel ATA drive (/dev/hda).
There are two Maxtor SATA drives (6Y120M0) connected to the two SATA
ports on the motherboard. These are /dev/hde and /dev/hdg.
The two SATA drives are a software raid0, the root filesystem is on
/dev/md0 on the two SATA drives.
So, about 75% percent of the time it works great, seems very reliable, but
I've only been playing with these SATA drives for a few days.
No anomalous behavior once it boots.
About 25% of the time it will crash, no fatal message, console messages
stop, and no response to keyboard input. The crash happens like this:
Machine boots from grub on /boot partition of PATA drive
Kernel correctly identifies PATA drive and PATA CDROMs
Kernel correctly identifies ICH5 SATA drives and reads partition
information
Kernel starts md0
Kernel starts executing /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit from root partition on
/dev/md0 using the two SATA drives.
The last console message is either
Checking filesystems (or)
Mounting local filesystems (or)
Enabling local filesystem quotas
This seems kind of weird to me, because the SATA drives are working,
the root filesystem is mounted and the startup shell script is running
from it, but it hangs because of something going on at this point
in rc.sysinit I think.
It seems to get "stuck" in the non-working mode and a crashing boot is
more likely to be followed by another crashing boot.
It also seems that this crash happens if I boot with a root filesystem
on the PATA drive. The cause of the crash seems related to the kernel
just finding an SATA drive. If I remove the SATA drives, I don't see
this crash. For the crash to happen, the kernel has to find SATA
drives:

Below are the messages from a typical boot.

Guilty. The sad thing is that's just the tip of my politically
incorrect iceberg.
The nvidia driver (and the attempt at agpgart) is loaded when X
starts, long after the potential SATA related crash. I changed my
default init level and rebooted a few times to verify the crash, so
I'm pretty sure that neither agpgart or the proprietary graphics driver
are involved in the problem.

It's not about politically incorrect. I could care less.

Except that without the driver source code, no one can be certain
that the NVIDIA modules isn't scribbling inappropriately in memory
and your particular setup just tickles an otherwise latent bug.
What's lost by *not* loading the driver?

Does the name Pavlov ring a bell?
I tried 2.4.21-ac4 to see if there were any ICH5-SATA related
changes. 2.4.21-ac4 does not seem to find the ICH5-SATA controller
or probe the SATA drives, (problems with ICH5-SATA on 2.4.21 are
described below).
Does anyone know what's up with SATA support on ICH5?
thanks,
jeff

Set the bios setting to legacy mode

Enable CONFIG_SCSI_ATA and CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX...

Thank you. That solved the problem, I've rebooted many times with
no failures.
It's a bit sad to be limited to 4 SATA+PATA devices, but ICH5 SATA
seems to work well on 2.4.21 if the BIOS is in legacy mode.

Thanks, I see. With -ac4 it looks like there is a new SATA
driver and the SATA devices appear as /dev/scdn.
With this new change does the BIOS (on an Intel 875P / ICH5
motherboard) still need the drives to be set to legacy mode, or can
it be set to enhanced mode to access the full complement of SATA
and PATA devices?

Yep, you can enable enhanced (also called native) mode for SATA, to get
the full spread of 6 devices normally possible (4 pata + 2 sata).

Wow, that's great, it works really well. I'm doing a software raid-0
across the two sata drives, I've been stressing it all afternoon with
no problems.
To see the CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_* options during configuration I had to set
CONFIG_SCSI=y (I had it set to CONFIG_SCSI=m previously.) Also, if
you want to boot from the SATA drives you should also set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y, or maybe load the module from initrd.
I enjoy having the drives called /dev/sd[ab], it makes me feel like I
paid more money for them.

Thanks!
I've been meaning to convert my main SATA test box over to softraid-0
running ext2. Man, I bet that thing will go fast...

Yep, good point.
FWIW, loading the module(s) from initrd works too.
