pata_amd takes forever to load hanging at "[solved]

kernel26beyond 2.6.19.beyond1-1

Basically its a kernel 2.6.19 problem for me, where udev takes forever to load. I've narrowed it down to the problem module and its pata_amd. loading it with modprobe -v showed no errors, just takes 2 min or so to load. I've tried to blacklist the module, and oddly enough my hd works fine but my network doesn't work anymore "no route to host".

Using DFI nforce 4 (so no intel controller). sata II HD. turned off my cdrom in the bios (ide) just to be safe.

Here's some errors I noticed in logs

dmesg:

basically just gotta blacklist pata_amd and ata_generic. for some reason only blacklisting pata_amd would break my internet. *shrug*

I have the exact same problem. It seems to be a bug in the pata subsystem in the kernel. I posted a bug report.

Same here; you should use the old amd74xx-module till this problem is fixed.

What'd be the best way of doing that? just adding it to the modules in mkinitcpio.conf or rc.conf? or do i just drop down to the 2.6.28 kernel?

Not using the pata-hook should help. Udev doesn`t load the pata-modules automatically.

I don't use the pata hook, its actually being loaded under sata. I've disabled my ide cdrom drive from the bios. All I have are 2 sata hd's connected to the mb, and a floppy.

Guess i'll have to blacklist it and just add.
lib/modules/2.6.19-beyond/kernel/drivers/ide/pci/amd74xx.ko
to the modules? (is that the correct module btw)

Strange, I have a similar setup and pata is not loaded when using the following hooks:

HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata filesystems"

But if this still does not work, blacklist pata_amd and load amd74xx via rc.conf.

I'm speaking mainly from memory, I'll check it out when I get home from work. It aperantly failed booting up this morning, so I can't ssh in to try and fix it

Thanks for the help so far btw, been going crazy about this problem.

EDIT: Update (figured I won't make a new post)

Ok basically I tested it out a bit with different results:
Kernel26: takes 2-3 min at udev then boots up and works fine.
kernel26beyond1: takes 2-3 min at udev then hangs at "mounting filesystem"
kernel26beyond2: takes 2-3 min at udev, then boots fine, but internet doesn't work.

Disabling pata_amd: breaks internet.

HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata scsi filesystems resume"

me too~
but i saw someone used sata hard disk only have no problem.
he also said his cdrom changed sc0,so i have no idea the problem is in fstab or not
