gigabyte GA-MA78lm-S2h motherboard will not boot, stops at ATA

[stargatefan]

I am attaching screen shots from initilization to where it stops at ATA fialure. Since IO-APIC this is the farthest the board has gotten.

Note this is from 41704 gcc2 hybrid ISO.Just to clarify its never booted this far before. Not that the IOAPIC broke the board. That was poorly worded. It does boot from usb and the hard disk just fine. Tested after looking over the error.

Not that I can contribute much - but did encounter something similar on another Gigabyte as well as an Asus board. Putting the HDD controllers in ACPI mode via BIOS did help. With one board, the successful setting was RAID, although I would not set up a RAID array.

[stargatefan]

I think this maybe a edge case, but it could be a bios configuration issue.

I attached the syslog.

I have the same issue with 890FX chipset, SB850 ATA controller.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

hrev41818 works with SATA controller in IDE mode, local APIC disabled.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Trying to boot hrev41816 in AHCI mode results in endless loop of the following:

achi: Port Connect Change
ahci: AHCIPort::InterruptErrorHandler port 0, fCommandsActive 0x00000000, is 0x00000040, ci 0x00000000
achi: ssts 0x00000000
achi: sctl 0x00000301
achi: serr 0x04080000
achi: sact 0x00000000

I think this is related to #3999. I was having similar trouble on mine until I disabled C1E support in the BIOS.

Just making a note that the same fix works for me on an Asus M4A88TD-M/USB3 (AMD 880G/SB850).

Would you please help to try the patch in #8111

[tqh]

The patch is applied in hrev44025. Please test with nightly that has this change.

[kallisti5]

Verified that the AMD boot blocking issue in #8085 no longer exists after hrev44025... however I still need to disable AHCI for Haiku to boot.. otherwise I get the same AHCIPort::InterruptErrorHandler errors.

[x-ist]

I get the same AHCI errors, however booting works without problems, at least since hrevr1alpha4-44643. Did you try to repeat your test recently?

[waddlesplash]

Still exists after the AHCI rework?

[waddlesplash]

Assuming fixed, as commenters say it is.
