[gentoo-dev] drive timeout

[gentoo-dev] drive timeout

[Robert Cole]

Sorry for the cross-post but no one in gentoo-user seemed to know anything 
about this. Not sure if it's a kernel setting, bug, or what yet but I figured 
the best way to find out is toss it to the devs. :)

I have only one drive on the raid controller right now but the kernel wants to 
keep looking for another drive and it takes a LONG time. Is there a way to 
get it to not keep looking?

SiI3112 Serial ATA: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:02:04.0
SiI3112 Serial ATA: chipset revision 2
SiI3112 Serial ATA: 100% native mode on irq 21
    ide2: MMIO-DMA at 0xf8806000-0xf8806007, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
    ide3: MMIO-DMA at 0xf8806008-0xf880600f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
hde: ST3120023AS, ATA DISK drive
ide2 at 0xf8806080-0xf8806087,0xf880608a on irq 21
hdg: no response (status = 0xfe)
hdg: no response (status = 0xfe), resetting drive
hdg: no response (status = 0xfe)
hde: max request size: 7KiB
hde: 234441648 sectors (120034 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63, UDMA(133)
 /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 p4


Each of those no responses take about a minute to come back.

This is a 2.6.0-test10-mm1 kernel but it does the exact same thing on the 2.4 
kernels.

Also note this is a SATA drive and the only SATA connections on the system 
board are to the raid controller which doesn't allow disabling just the one 
drive port.

I never found a way around it, I eventually just disabled the drivers in the 
kernel and used pata. You may have luck with the libata drivers. I never 
tried those.

Add the following parameter to your kernel line in lilo/grub:
  hdg=none

And it'll happily ignore hdg on startup. :)
