Problems with 2.6.10

Problems with 2.6.10

[Fryderyk Mazurek]

Hi everyone!

I have so strange problem with kernel 2.6.10. Kernel works good, but
problem starts when I do reboot. On boot screen my bios can't detect
my disk. Bios stops and nothing. So without end. Button reset on my
towel can't fix it. To fix this situation I must turn off and turn
on my computer. Only it helps. With kernel 2.6.9 wasn't so problem.
How to fix it?

I send my /proc/cpuinfo (all these informations from kernel 2.6.9):

at first glance, I'd say hardware problem.

Are you positive you can't reproduce it with 2.6.9 or other kernels?

Does reboot work if the initial boot is with acpi=off?

The IDE code is meant to spin the drive down on poweroff but not on
"reboot". If the new power changes upset this then a few boxes will do
as you describe because the BIOS isn't bright enough to get the drive
powered back up.

Re: Problems with 2.6.10

[Fryderyk Mazurek]

Hello.

My kernel 2.6.10 I compiled two times. First with ACPI and second
fully without ACPI. And the same situation.
For me this situation is strange, because usually reset should help,
but not this time. I thought that maybe my BIOS is too old. But with
2.6.9 works. Therefore I don't know. Now I use 2.6.9.

Re: Problems with 2.6.10

[Fryderyk Mazurek]

Thank you for reply. My disk doesn't stop, when I do "reboot". I
hear as works (of course silently). Also when I turn off computer I
hear when spins the drive down. And one thing. I also saw that when
BIOS had detected disk (after 2.6.10) then light's disk went out.

Fryderyk.

PS. I want to say that my English is not good and maybe I did error.
If I did it, please forgive me.

With that system, perhaps acpi=ht would be better if he uses the HT. And 
pci=routeirq may help as well, although it told me it was disabling 
IRQ18 and didn't!

Re: Problems with 2.6.10

[Fryderyk Mazurek]

Hello!

I'm sorry, but acpi=routeirq doesn't work. But to my head came other
thing. I noticed that I on 2.6.9 (which correct works) I have this
part of dmesg:

hdb: Host Protected Area detected.
	current capacity is 66055248 sectors (33820 MB)
	native  capacity is 78165360 sectors (40020 MB)
hdb: 66055248 sectors (33820 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65531/16/63,
UDMA(33)

and on 2.6.10 I have:

hdb: Host Protected Area detected.
	current capacity is 66055248 sectors (33820 MB)
	native  capacity is 78165360 sectors (40020 MB)
hdb: Host Protected Area disabled.
hdb: 78165360 sectors (40020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,
UDMA(33)

How see, first is 32GB (33820 MB), and second is 40GB (40020MB).
Correct value should be 32GB, in spite that my disk is 40GB. I want
to say, that I have a little old BIOS and my BIOS detect only 32GB,
therefore I have limited size of my disk. And maybe kernel 2.6.10
influence on my BIOS and force to detect 40GB, which is not
operable, because my BIOS is too old. I think that maybe to fix it I
should force my kernel to detect only 32GB, how on kernel 2.6.9.
Maybe this is a BUG of new kernel?

Fryderyk.

Not surprised, that should be pci=routeirq, as in the original post. Do

Re: Problems with 2.6.10

[Fryderyk Mazurek]

Hello!

At last I fixed my problem! I changed source to not enable "Host
Protected Area". This means that on 2.6.10 I have 33,8GB disk, not
40GB, how on "true" 2.6.10. And now my BIOS detect my disk. But
question is, what does "true" kernel do, and why influence to BIOS?
Maybe this is kernel BUG?
Here is my diff's file. Maybe my patch is primitive, but it works.
Maybe somebody will do better patch.

problems with 2.6.10

[bil]

Hi,
I've downloaded, configured and compiled 2.6.10 for my IBM Thinkpad A21m.
I've installed quite a few kernels over the years, and while not a
kernel expert, thought I understood enough to get by. Sadly when I
tried to boot up the new kernel I get a few error messages which I
can't figure out. Also, once the system is up my keyboard is DEAD.
My only option is the power-off button! My 'base' system is Mandrake 10.0.
I have been running 2.6.7 with only minor problems (hence the desire
to upgrade to 2.6.10).

The error messages that I've been able to find in the log are:
(I'm including an 'expected' message to indicate roughly the context)

Jan  5 08:22:33 felix kernel: Loaded 23850 symbols 
from /boot/System.map-2.6.10.
Jan  5 08:22:33 felix kernel: Symbols match kernel version 2.6.10.
Jan  5 08:22:33 felix kernel: No module symbols loaded - kernel modules not 
enabled.

This is right at the start of the log. Not sure if this means that the symbols
for the modules are not enabled, as various module-provided functions do
seem to be working. I can't run lsmod to check as the keyboard is dead.

Jan  5 08:22:33 felix kernel: Mounted devfs on /dev
Jan  5 08:22:33 felix kernel: jbd: version magic '2.6.3-7mdk 586 ' should be 
'2.6.10 PENTIUMIII gcc-3.3'
Jan  5 08:22:33 felix kernel: ext3: version magic '2.6.3-7mdk 586 ' should be 
'2.6.10 PENTIUMIII gcc-3.3'

Not sure if these are significant. 2.6.3-7mdk is the original Mandrake 10.0
kernel.

Jan  5 08:22:18 felix usb: Initializing USB controller (usb-uhci):  succeeded 
Jan  5 08:22:18 felix mount: mount: fs type usbdevfs not supported by kernel 
Jan  5 08:22:18 felix usb: Mount USB filesystem failed 

This worries me - I definitely have usbdevfs marked in the config:

#
# Miscellaneous USB options
#
CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS=y
CONFIG_USB_BANDWIDTH=y
# CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is not set
# CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_USB_OTG is not set

Despite this, USB seems to be working OK, my mouse is USB and that was
responding when X11 had come up.

Jan  5 08:22:31 felix ifplugd(eth0)[1716]: Using interface eth0 
Jan  5 08:22:31 felix ifplugd(eth0)[1716]: Failed to detect plug status of

Jan  5 08:22:31 felix ifplugd(eth0)[1716]: Exiting. 

This is serious! If the ethernet had come up, there was a chance that I
could have logged in via ssh to debug further. The ethernet comes up fine
under 2.6.7

That's all the error  messages that I could find. Everything else seemed
to be much as normal. I can live with a few error messages at boot-up
provided things continue to work, but a dead keyboard is a major setback.

After I rebooted back to 2.6.7 I checked the .config file, and checked
to see what modules were around and thought I'd found something - the
'input.ko' module was missing. Checking through using 'make xconfig'
I discovered that there was no option for this - it's just displayed
as a heading. However, checking the .config file shows 

CONFIG_INPUT=y

so I presume that the 'module' has been compiled into the kernel.

I'm not a subscriber to the lkml (too much traffic) so I'd appreciate
a direct reply if anyone can help. 

Many thanks

Bill

I can see the reason why this happens: When you boot, your HDD will be in
a compatibility mode for broken BIOSes, but it will not enter compatibility
mode on reboot. (Is it supposed to work this way, or should the BIOS
completely reset the device?)

There may be two solutions for this problem:
 - Reset the drive (hdparm -w) before rebooting (just a quick workaround)
 - Remember the initial state during runtime and restore it before reboot

The first option may not work at all, I'm just guessing here.
The second option will require a feature enheancement to the IDE subsystem.

To quickly find out if option 1 is enough, you could boot a non-patched
kernel with init=/bin/sh. In the shell, enter:
# hdparm -w
# shutdown -n -r now

If it works for your problen, hdparm will probably disable propper access
to the HDD until reboot. (This could mean some other cases might be broken,
too.)
