i need these grub options: irqpoll & noprobe=ata4 to boot


Steps to reproduce:
Comment 1 Andrew Morton 2008-04-17 02:56:05 UTC
urgh.  You have x86 and ata and possibly PCI and acpi problems all rolled
into the one report.

Oh well.  I randomly reassigned it to i386.
Comment 2 dino99 2008-04-17 06:46:00 UTC
hi,
i'm using generic kernel, not i386
what i have found: the kernel boot might know that the chipset Sil4723 linked on sata2 port is not an ata device and has not any device plugged on it .

So, the kernel might check: 1) what is or not a chipset ?  2) what is or not a device ? 3) after this step, is a device plugged or not ?, if not don't try to find one.

Hopping this can help !!!
Comment 3 Tejun Heo 2008-04-30 03:45:54 UTC
Aieee... My favorite p5wdh again.  Setting ahci mode should work around the problem.  I'll see whether I can make ata_piix mode work too.

thanks for all that job,

as i don't know how to apply this patch, please give me the way.
before to do that, i must say i have made some changes since the report bug: working with a dual boot, i found how to tell xp to work with ahci mode; so now booting is easier and close normal: irqpoll and noprobe=ata are no more needed.

but, lspci -vvnn still recognize and other mobo than mine :	Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. P5WDG2 WS Professional motherboard [1043:8178]

More  updated details on launchpad.
