Steps to reproduce: install gentoo and try #emerge gcc or some IO load. HDD- samsung 80 Gb 100% working. I try change - same result. Help only downgrade from 2.6.26 to 2.6.25.11 If need some add info - question is welcome )))))
Created attachment 16943 [details] it is working config for 2.6.25.11 it is working config for 2.6.25.11
Created attachment 16944 [details] it is working config 2.6.26 with this config disk hung on havy load. config similar to 2.6.25.11, difference not relative to IO system.
Ah... strange. Your drive is timing out FLUSH. Can you hook up a serial or netconsole can capture full log from boot to hang? Also, please post the result of "lspci -nn" and "smartctl -a /dev/sda".

Its home computer, sorry, I do not have netconsole at home (((( I afraid run 2.6.26, And I afraid again loss FS. My steps to determine sourse of error. 1. I change HDD to same disk, also samsung. Problem present. 2. I change HDD to maxtor (no HW ahci) - works FINE. 3. Install back Sansung (ahci) and after boot, # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth == WORKS FINE when AHCI disabled manually. In log files - no errors. OKay. Step 4. I replace sata cables. /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth = 31. Error present, when ahci is enabled ((((. I downgrade kernel from 2.6.26 to 2.6.25.11 (now 13). Error present, but hdd not freeze. It can restart, as you can see in part of my log files. Log from 2.6.25.13 (part) Problem still present.

Ah... long output. Please attach as text file next time. With lines wrapped and all, it becomes pretty difficult to follow. I'll try to summarize. Please point out if I got it wrong. 1. The problem only occurs with p80 samsung drives when NCQ is enabled and you tested two of them. 2. You also tested a maxtor drive which doesn't support NCQ and it worked fine. 3. The symptom is drive timing out 0xE7 and sometimes EH fails to recover from that. Your controller being ICH7 AHCI, I tend to think it's not driver or controller problem. It's one of the most tested ones. Can you please do the followings to rule out hardware problems? 1. Can you please test another drive (different generation or from different vendor) which can do NCQ and see whether the same problem exists? 2. Timeout on FLUSH and following filesystem corruption often indicates power problem - disk pulls more power trying to write out the buffer content, power fluctuates, disk checks out briefly and lose data. There are two ways to rule this out. * If you have access to another power supply. Power it up without motherboard and connect only the harddrive to the PSU, which is safe to do in SATA and see whether the problem disappears. http://modtown.co.uk/mt/article2.php?id=psumod * Another way is to see whether SMART counters record such event. Boot the machine, record smartctl -a output, trigger the error condition and after it run smarctl -a again and compare the output. Power related failures often show up as incremented start stop, power cycle or emergency unload count. Thanks.
Latest test result: Kernel-2.6.25.15 working fine. Kernel-2.6.26.2 NOT working. Answers for yours questions: 1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Yes. May be it depends of method of reset in diferent kernels? How to possible trigger or debug it? (sw/hw reset) )) I know this hack with PSU. I ferquently use it. But I think, this problem is not a power supply depended. One kernel work, & another no. I use relatively good PSU, not *made in China* or similar. I use 500W ~$100 PSU. To MB connected 1 HDD only. Not included keyboard, mouse and videocard (GeForce 6600 GT). 500W PSU must be good for this configuration, I think. But I remember, one kernel work, one no. Investigate SMART counters before & after failure do _nothing_. I compare it via diff command. Only change time of power. I know, samsung p80 is a not best choice for storage, but I don't have another.((( Or, where I can read about changes in IO system from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26? May be this is bug not ahci related? I my life, I frequently see, how to bug in one subsystem or HW depend of another, not directly depended... Any idea? P.S. Heo, thank you for you time)))
Hmm... The only significant difference between 2.6.25 and 2.6.26 is that 2.6.26 uses hardreset by default while 2.6.25 uses softreset. This shouldn't make any difference for ahci tho as its initialization sequence include controller reset which implies hardresets. Just in case, can you please try 2.6.27-rc5 w/ the following kernel parameter? "libata.force=nohrst" It will force libata to use softreset instead. Thanks.
Thanks, it working )))) it help ))) But I must say, Samsung SpinPoint P80 not normal working with Asus P955X MB. I try 2 hdd same models. I replace hdd to segate ST3300831AS & I resolve ALL problem with AHCI ))))) Wery thanks )))))))
Created attachment 18283 [details] ahci-reset-debug.patch If you still have the drive for testing, can you please apply the attached patch and post the resulting kernel log? Thanks.
Ok, wait pls few days. I take back P-80. I present it to my niece ))
