boot fails after 4th icon is lit using default ata stack

[rudolfc]

The boot stops after lighting the fourth icon.

apparantly this is the problem: "ata 0 error: timeout waiting for interrupt"

Booting fails with default enabled DMA, but succeeds with disabled DMA.

tested on build hrev32839.

[rudolfc]

failed boot with DMA enabled

[rudolfc]

succeeded boot with DMA disabled

[rudolfc]

Attached are two syslogs, the first of a default but failing boot. The second is of a disabled DMA boot (failsafe boot option).

Both boots were done from the same USB stick in the same USB port. Hardware wasn't changed between boots.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[marcusoverhagen]

please test hrev32878 from trunk with DMA enabled and attach syslog. thanks.

[rudolfc]

hrev32884 with disabled DMA - succesfull boot

[rudolfc]

Today I tested hrev32884. I only have a disabled DMA log on the stick, so I just posted that.

With DMA the boot still fails.

Would this suffice? (I only have access to this system at certain moments..)

Bye!

Rudolf.

[rudolfc]

hrev32884 boot fail, DMA enabled

[rudolfc]

Anyhow, just got a chance to try booting again on this system. Just uploaded the syslog from a failed DMA enabled hrev32884 boot.

Note: I entered the failsafe options menu, but did not modify any setting.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[marcusoverhagen]

Please try hrev32921 in DMA mode and attach another syslog.

How many SATA/PATA ports do you have?

Thanks.

'failed' DMA boot with latest ATA driver

[rudolfc]

Hi again,

Tested with the lasest ATA adapter. Situation seems to remain the same. This time I walked away from the system trying to boot, to have a coffee break. The system boots fully up in the end, it just takes about 20 minutes or so. I expect the previous version would have done the same if I stayed away long enough.

Anyhow: situation unchanged unfortunately.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[rudolfc]

Hi again.

Just opened up the PC case: It's a ShuttleX PC with a mainboard called 'FB65V1.0' It has two SATA connectors, and two PATA connectors.

It seems to have a AGP slot and a PCI slot.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[rudolfc]

And: SATA1 has a HD, PATA2 has a DVDROM (samsung SD-616). The other two connectors are unused. The system has one floppy drive.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[rudolfc]

OK, HD is ST380013AS. BIOS says SATA is in auto mode. (autoselect old/new style setup I take it). Windows running is SP1, so old style boot is required by windows.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[marcusoverhagen]

please try hrev32978 from trunk

[stippi]

I can boot again without disabling IDE DMA from the boot loader (from a SATA drive), but when I insert a CD into the IDE connected drive, the system freezes up. When I press the eject button on the drive, the system reboots. When booting from the CD, the system also seems to freeze up at the forth icon again (but I have not waited for very long), when pressing the eject button the computer reboots.

hrev32978 ata manager and generic driver with dma - fail

[rudolfc]

Hi again,

I still can't boot with DMA on hrev32978 from trunk. Without is OK.

BTW: the SATA HD is detected bt the bios as being master, the PATA DVD ROM is detected as master as well.

Rudolf.

[marcusoverhagen]

Hi Rudolf,

can you join the IRC channel for a debugging session? New syslog shows that DMA is working, but interrupts are lost.

[rudolfc]

Hi there Marcus,

The system in test is my computer over at the company I work for. If you need this debug session with me running on that computer, we need to plan it as I need to go over at the office in an evening (could be done though).

Thursday evening might be an option, say around 19:30u. Otherwise it's going to be next week some evening, the coming weekend I have no time to do it I'm afraid.

Please let me know what you want to do.

Thanks,

Rudolf.

[marcusoverhagen]

Perhaps it's easier if you check these things first.

step 1) Make sure that you are really using "ata" bus_manager AND "ata_adapter" (generic kernel addon) from trunk, hrev32978 or anything newer.

step 2) Enable on screen debug output (serial output would be better) and boot. When you reach the end that looks like:

666	loaded driver /boot/system/add-ons/kernel/drivers/dev/zero
667	[35mahci:[0m ahci_supports_device
668	[35mahci:[0m ahci_supports_device
669	ata 0 error: timeout waiting for interrupt
670	ata 0 error: RecoverLostInterrupt: lost interrupt, status 0x50

enter KLD (ALT+S-Req+D) and use the ints command. then the continue command.

Wait for a minute or two until you get a few other "timeout waiting for interrupt" messages.

Then enter KDL again, use ints command again, and look where interrupts happen. They should be on 14 and 15. if possible attach output to this bugreport.

step 3) in build/config_headers/tracing_config.h

#define ENABLE_TRACING 1 #define ATA_TRACING 1

get hrev33010 of ata_adapter.c and modify #define INTERRUPT_TRACING 1

rebuild and install. when boot stops with timeout, use KDL traced command and view the ata debug output the timeout.

[rudolfc]

hmm,

How is that again, this new shortcut? I don't have a 'Req' key on my keyboards? And: should I press all four keys simultaneously?

I am not able to drop to KDL.

Rudolf.

[pulkomandy]

This is only 3 keys. "SysReq" is usually the Print screen key, actually :)

[rudolfc]

boot with DMA enabled, ints dumped

[rudolfc]

Thanks pulkomandy. That works :-)

Anyhow: log uploaded. From what I gather is that int 14 and 15 are assigned to the ata manager, int 15 happens, but is unhandled. ???

The second test (with debug logging enabled) will have to wait probably until coming Monday.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[rudolfc]

debugging enabled failed dma boot - traced

[rudolfc]

Hi Marcus,

Sorry for the delay. Anyhow: Here's the log from a boot. I enabled atapi, ata and ata-dma debugging. Also interrupt debugging is enabled in ata-adapter.

I hope this gives you the info you need.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[marcusoverhagen]

this might be fixed in hrev33626. please test.

[rudolfc]

Hi Marcus!

It's fixed indeed! Nice job, and thanks. :-)

You can close this ticket I'd say.

Bye!

Rudolf.

[marcusoverhagen]

fixed in hrev33626
