new PATA layer to access the underlying devices.
switched to sata, assigned to Alan.
Need the start of the trace and the probing messages to see why it may have gone busy and stayed that way. If you can attach the output of lspci -vvxxx as an attachment as well that would be useful too.
Created attachment 18022 [details] lspci output lspci -vvxxx output
Created attachment 18023 [details] dmesg output dmesg output -- sorry I missed this before!
Thanks - can't tell from the trace what triggered the error but the drive then gets stuck (or the controller does) with data wedged. This looks like another case which needs Mark Lords pending data draining patch.
I'd say most probably the controller -- I get the same issues when a HDD is linked to it and the sata layer driver is handling the controller (hence the CMD PCI IDE card that the HDD now runs off...)
That summary change wasn't a prompt for me to try something out was it?
No its just so that I know where I am with this bug 8)
