Bug Description

With a default install of the current Intrepid kernel on systems with a HPET, and both a Via SATA and PATA controller, the kernel is unable to utilise any ATAPI devices attached to the PATA controller.

The kernel logs fill up with the following message every 30 seconds:
yagisan@doomguy:~$ head /var/log/kern.log

After examining the kernel source package, to understand the somewhat cryptic libata error messages, I realised the problem appears to be timing related. As older linux kernels worked on this system, I reasoned that a recent change to the timing system or libata is to blame.

Investigating the timing system first, I appended hpet=disable to the boot command, forcing use of the PIT. This resulted in the ATAPI devices being detected and functioning until a dvd was inserted.

This caused a slightly different error message which leads me to believe my workaround was successful, and that there are several bugs at play here.

The error message is now:

I'm getting a very similar message with the Intrepid amd64 kernel. I've also compiled 2.6.29.1 with SLAB and that also produces the error.

I have two Sony IDE DVD-ROM Drives that lock up as soon as these errors start appearing in the logs.

I've ended up working around the issue. I blacklist the pata_via module, and build my own kernels with all the old ide drivers as modules, loading via82cxxx for my pata devices. Unfortunately I haven't been able to convince my ppa to build those kernels (some sort of issue with ABI's and sadly the ubuntu kernel package is poorly documented on how to actually update that)

I'm quite certain that the timing code for the libata versions is broken, but it's not immediately obvious to me exactly where or how to fix it. all I can suggest is that the old ide driver and the new libata driver should be both closly examined and the libata driver should be adjusted as needed to match the ide driver.

I've got the same problem on jaunty with three machines with Via k9t890/k8m890 chipsets. ATAPI drives will work after boot but sometime after disappear (after suspend/resume?). It's incredibly annoying to have to restart the computer to mount a cd, especially given this problem didn't exist before feisty or there about.

In my case dmesg is full of with:

I went and tested a vanilla 2.6.29.1 kernel, and the problem still exists there. it isn't triggered by suspend or resume, as it's been affecting my server box, and I certainly don't use suspend and resume on that. You just need to leave the system running for a short while before you get the messages and can't use your atapi devices.

It doesn't occur with the via82cxxx module, but the ubuntu kernels do not build the old ide modules.

Yeah, you are right about it not being triggered by suspend/resume, I just rebooted to try and burn a cd and the bug stopped things after just 273 seconds of uptime. Again, this regression is really annoying.

Hi Yagisan,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 282536

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know whether this is EVER going to be fixed by the Kernel developers, after all it is hardly trivial! I'm having a problem with a Brand New Pioneer DVR-A18L Series drive. A work college with same VT8x chip-set has exactly the same problems with his two Pioneer IDE DVD drives (they work under Windows)

Bug is easy to reproduce, burn a DVD with K3B, get it to verify the DVD. DVD Ejects but when reloaded, nothing is displayed.

Problem does not seem to be apparent using an LG SATA drive (SATA chipset VT8251) although I do have pci=nomsi kernel parameter loaded. http://mylinuxramblings.wordpress.com/2010/02/04/linux-hell-via-southbridge-vt8251-sata-ii-controller/

I've got the same chip in an Asus board. Ubuntu fails to boot whenever I've got a second optical drive connected (hangs very early in device detection). In Jaunty, the workaround "hpet=disable" works, but in lucid it does'nt any more, other sources make me believe the parameter disappeared. The only workaround for me is to disable the APIC 2.0 stuff in my BIOS.

This bug is still present in Kernel 2.6.34-020634. Workaround is 'noapic' to kernel cmdline.

Hippman,
   Would you mind filing a new bug for your issue? This bug was expired due to lack of response from the reporter.

Thanks!

The reporter ceased responding as:
a) No one with the ability to fix the bug has looked at it
b) the bug didn't get fixed
c) it clearly has a lot of "me too" responses
d) it was confirmed in mainline before the useless "upgrade to the new version of ubuntu and then bother us if it's still broken" message
e) the reporter has come to the conclusion launchpad has become a place of bugs to languages and be ignored, rather than be fixed
f) the pata drives were removed and the system no longer runs Ubuntu so I could have a working system, in a timely manner.

I wish all thoses stilll experiencing the bug the best of luck resolving it - but I suspect where possible, replacing the hardware with non-pata versions would be the most expedient work around, as I honestly no longer expect this to be fixed.

For me it's fixed with Kernel 2.6.35-020635rc1-generic.
