Latest working kernel version: i don't remember Earliest failing kernel version:2.6.26 Distribution: Archlinux Problem Description: When using kernel 2.6.27, the hdd sata doesn't work and is not possible to use the sata_nv.patch because it's in conflict with the -arch patch. I have create a bug report here http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12361 this is the kernel.log ---> http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12361?getfile=2781
Switched to IO/storage, ata.
Can't follow the patch link, it's broken. Is upstream 2.6.27.8 still broken?

It's already fixed in upstream. You'll have to ask arch linux to incorporate the fix into their kernel. Rejecting as INVALID. Thanks.
Created attachment 20125 [details] kernel.log
I have tested the 2.6.28.2 and the new 2.6.29-rc3. But is not fixed. This is the log of kernel.log with 2.6.29-rc3:
Can you please test 2.6.28.4? Also, please post the output of "lspci -nn". Thanks.

2.6.28.4 is still broken? Can you please capture the failing kernel boot log and post it? You'll need one of root on working device, serial console or netconsole.
Created attachment 20192 [details] the kernel.log of kernel 2.6.28.4 Yes, it is broken.
Created attachment 20193 [details] nf2-nohrst.patch Does this patch fix the problem?
cc'ing Robert. Robert, hardreset on nf2 seems completely broken. Ah... I'm really hating these nv controllers.
Thank you for the patch. The problem is fixed with your patch.
Patch posted upstream. Thanks.
