ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Hi all,
I'm trying to improve my *nix skill installing this amazing distro on my laptop (Acer Travelmate630).
At the moment I'm not able to solve a problem which makes slow the boot.
I receive a lot of "timeout" when the HOOK udev is loaded.
I've seen that this behaviour has been already discussed

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=35847
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=29043

but the tips discussed don't solve my problem.

Do you have any idea?
Thanks in advance.

a part of my dmesg

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

There is no ata hook, your HOOKS line should be "base udev autodetect pata filesystems". Rebuild the image with mkinitcpio -p kernel26.
Also, I need "pci=noacpi" for my TravelMate512. Add that to the kernel line in grub.

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

You are right byte,
when I did the last pacman -Syu
I received an error saying "FATAL there is not ata option" (or something like that) when mkiniticpio precessed the new kernel (testing version 2.6.23.13-1).
Now, I've tried to rebuild the image following your suggestion,
but the boot ends because it is not able to find the root device.
So I've tried to modify the grub menu.lst and the fstab changing any /dev/shXX in /dev/hdXX 
but again the system doesn't start.

Do you have any suggestion?

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

No, it's using the libata framework and thus your drives are always /dev/sdX.
Well, it shouldn't happen. Does the -fallback image work? How does your menu.lst look like?

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Thanks again for your help,
no, the -fallback doesn't work at the moment, it crashes when tries to access to /dev/sda2 (the root).

That's my grub menu.lst

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Any suggestion?
Otherwise, I think, I have to reinstall all the system from scratch.

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

There is no one who could help me solving this trouble?
Actually, the problem is not long the boot duration,
but a wrong "mkinitcpio -p" who generated a new image unable to find any device.

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Hi lloeki,
I can't try your suggestion

if you don't want to flash the drive, as a workaround once booted you may want to try to disable hal polling with 'hal-disable-polling --device /dev/sr0' (check the man page) but you will loose automount on insert.

because the system doesn't boot correctly now.

Thanks anyway for the support.

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Hi Ecatonchiro,

I also use an Acer Travelmate 630 and experience exactly the same TIMEOUT problem during boot with OpenSuse 10.3. As per my quick searches, this also happens with other distros (Zenwalk, Ubuntu).
What could I try first? acpi off didn't give me faster boot; should I do something in my BIOS about IRQ?
Thanks to anybody who should put me on the right way.

Hi Bouherve,
unfortunately, I've not fixed the problem right now.
But I'm reading (and reading and reading...) searching a tip or something can help me.

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Ecatonchiro,

I found in Italian, (just for you):

Risolto il problema agiungendo "libata.pata_dma=1" nel menu.lst, senza ricompilare il kernel. L'avvio risulta adesso veloce e funzionano i cdrom collegati.

This comes from:
http://www.suseitalia.org/modules/newbb … c_id=15614

I'm not on my machine for the next 2 days to try this. If you do it, please, inform me.

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Bouherve,
I've just finished the new install from scratch and I've tried your suggestion.
Unfortunately this tip doesn't fix the sloooow boot sequence.

Maybe, you'll be more lucky.

Just in case:
I've found the original documentetion talking about "libata.pata_dma=1"

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ide@v … 09849.html

Thanks for your time.

PS. I've tried with "sda=nodma", but without success...
I don't know what I can invent to solve it.

The new kernel is 2.6.23.14-1 and it is still affected by the same behavior.

Just a question,
reading my dmesg I see that all timeout is followed by
"ata2.00: limiting speed to UDMA/25:PIO4"
"ata2.00:configured for UDMA/25"

So, do you know if it is possible to configure a priori this setting?

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Hi !
The program to test / report / change I/O transfers to drives is hdparm.
A nice article here:
http://www.articles-hub.com/Article/158575.html

I cannot do more for the time being, just searching...

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Here is my solution to this problem:

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop, with this same ALI Chipset, and i'm having the exact same problem..

The solution is in using the old IDE drivers instead of pata ones, and this is how to:

Change this on you mkinitcpio.conf

MODULES="alim15x3 ata_generic"

HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide keymap filesystems"

Change your fstab, all "sd*" to "hd*", and the same in your menu.lst, and after that, remake the kernel26.img, with

mkinitcpio -p kernel26

and that's it, problem solved.

Hope it helps

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Thank you Pon, last time I did mkinitcpio -p my system stopped to work,
so now I need to know about
MODULES="alim15x3 ata_generic"
Can you explain me both these parameters?

Thanks in advance

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

before it said pata_ali, right? pata_ali is the new "pata" driver, does the same, but in a different way.
by setting it to load "alim15x3", which is the old "ide" driver, your whole system will use IDE drivers instead of PATA, and load fast and beautiful.

That exact setting is working here in my laptop, and as I see, the same is happening to you (by reading your logs).

I hope it works fine smile

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

did you try exactly the Pons' suggestion

mkinitcpio -p kernel26

and that's it, problem solved.

'cause from your dmesg I see you have our Ali chipset and the previous tip solves completely the long boot delay.

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

Hi and thanks for the answer. I tried to do all that Pons said and my arch didnt start. I will do it again. Now I made all mkinitcpio.conf changes. My fstab file is:

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>

none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0


/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0   vfat   user,noauto   0      0
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext2 defaults 0 1

When I tried Pons tip, I changed sda3 and sda4 to hda3,hda4 and my arch didnt start! my menu.lst is:

title  Arch Linux
root   (hd0,3)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda4 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

# (1) Arch Linux

My edited mtkinitcpio.conf is:

Re: ata2 exception Emask (timeout)

libata version 2.21 loaded.

is in your last dmesg, so what dmesg are u showing us? the one where u changed things as pons said or what u have after u did the changes and then changed everything back?

Sounds like u got mixed up somewhere, I am sure if u retry pons advice it will probably work, but remember to change the root=/dev/sda4 to root=/dev/hda4 when u make the changes in fstab. that's probably where u messed up to begin with.

When I tried Pons tip, I changed sda3 and sda4 to hda3,hda4 and my arch didnt start! my menu.lst is:

My edited mtkinitcpio.conf is:

MODULES="alim15x3 ata_generic"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide keymap filesystems"
Thanks

and rebuild the kernel image.
