Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

While trying to migrate to the 2.6.18 kernel today (I've been using 2.6.17-emission8 from the aur) I've realized that I can't get any other kernel to boot. I've tried booting two different kernels, the vanilla kernel26 one and also 2.6.18-viper from the aur and both have the same problem. When booting, mkinitcpio goes fine unitill it gets to sata detection and then does this:

ata2: Sata link up 1.5Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata2:00 qc timeout(cmd 0xec)
ata2: failed to Identify (I/O error, err_mask 0x4)

or something along those lines. I can't find any errors in any logs, so I'm going by what I had time to write down during boot. It tries to detect several more times, and then I get a kernel panic. I've tried playing around with several different hooks in mkinitcpio, but nothing has worked. I even tried adding the contents of a mkinitcpio -M run from my kernel that does work to the modules=() line but that did not work either.

The sata controller is a VIA Technologies Inc.|VT6420 SATA RAID Controller according to hwd, and I'm using sata_nv and sata_via according to lsmod.

If anyone could help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

I've been working on this and have had a little bit of success. I can get kernel26mm to boot further than previously, but not I get a kernel panic. I get past initramfs, and then I get this:

:: Initramfs Completed - Control Passing to kinit
IP-Config: no devices to configure
kinit: Cannot open root device dev(0,0)
kinit: init not found!
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I'm kind of hoping this is an upstream thing with the kernel (thats why I tried the 26mm kernel) because I really have no idea whats going on here. If anyone had some ideas it'd be greatly appreciated.

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

Hi barebones,
I have the same problem here with my SATA drive and reiserfs. The only difference to the error message is Cannot open root device sdb1(8,17).

Does your fallback image work? Mine works and I can't figure out what is the significant difference between the two images. I'm using kernel 2.6.18-ARCH and didn't have this problem when I had arch on my ide drive with ext2 fs.

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

Can you post the filelist for your broken image(s). You can get it with the command

$ zcat /path/to/broken.img | cpio -t

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

My fallback image is the one that gets me past mkinitcpio but then crashes.
This is what the file list looks like for it:

I added ext3 (my root fstype) and reiserfs (which is what my home partition is, I know I don't need it, but I'm just grasping for straws at this point) to the modules="" line in mkinitcpio.conf.[/code]

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

For me that my fall-back works I tried the Persistant block device naming since I have ide and sata disks on my pc and now the error from

Cannot open root device sdb1(8,17)

changed to

Cannot open root device dev(0,0)

I'll post the filelist later today ... since I don't know what else to do..

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

Similar problems here.

Running software raid0 with 2 SATA drives and reiserfs using kernel 2.6.18-ARCH.  I have found it necessary to do the full raid detection during boot, simply using a raid0 module does not work for me.

With full detection, as used by fallback-img, I can usually boot, but sometimes I can't for no apparent reason (kernel panic).  Nothing is changed and then it will work again spontaneously.  Does this suggest some sort of timing problem?

I am also getting intermittent shut-down for no obvious reason.  Sometimes it can run for 12 hrs or more without problem then just turns itself off.  Temperature is OK, RAM seems to test OK, not overclocking, power supply ???.  This may or may not be related to the raid problem but I am suspicious.

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

brain0, do you think this is just a config problem, or should I be adding this to the bug tracker?

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

Tempting to add a bug report, but what exactly is the bug? Its somewhat vague at the moment.  Probably best to leave it just now.

Since my last post, I was upgrading to kde 3.5.5 and the machine shut-down in the middle of installation - result, a corrupt pacman database!  So, I have taken the opportunity of de-raiding the system and re-installing from scratch.  So far it has been running for about 10 hours without fault.  Once I have the machine back to a reasonable state I intend to try raid0 again using 2 different drives in a separate system.  I'll report any findings.

Re: Having trouble booting kernel, boot hangs at sata detection

I'm still having difficulty getting anything but my current kernel to boot. I've made some headway though, I can get other kernel's to boot occasionally. About 9 out of 10 times I'll get the same error mentioned above, but sometimes it will indeed boot. So far, I've tried kernel26 (vanilla) kernel26mm and kernel26viper, all of which have the same problem mentioned above. I've seen people complaining about via chipsets, could that be my problem, in conjunction with the new libata2?

Also, I tried an fairly recent Ubuntu live cd this morning, and It also did not reconize the sata drives. There wern't even nodes for them in /dev, so It (unfortunatly) looks like this isn't an arch specific configuration problem.
