However this cold boot issue might be a different issue from this kernel crash. According to debug messages first a "Set Features" (0xEF) is being sent. My guess is that this set features issues subcommand (0x07): spin up media. And later on the "Identify Device" (0xEC) is sent. When I correctly read the Hitachi specification the Spin Up (Set Features) should be sent after "Drive Identify". For this Hitachi HDS5C3020BLE630 the Drive_Identify (# sg_sat_identify -v /dev/sdb) word 2 outputs "738c" (hex), which translates to specification "Need Set Feature for spin-up after power-up Identify Device is complete" according to HGST specification page 127. Is there a boot parameter (or similar way) to load the mvsas driver without sending the "Set Features" (0xEF) command? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
