[Bug 53754] Re: ata_piix problem with Intel ICH7 chipset

Mon Mar 26 07:02:15 UTC 2007

Hi all i didn't try the "echo "1" > /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/timeout" but i tried to search why it was freezing and i saw somewhere (maybe is it stupid?) that it was due to the ata_piix  driver which control both SATA and PATA. From this i thought that i could try to add a boot option like "noata_piix". I thought that it wouldn't boot but it booted...
Sadly it was still freezing. But i tried with a cd in the drive, i'm running for 20hours now and no freeze... What's your method to detect freeze you also use dmesg?
I'm running ubuntu feisty beta with the generic kernel 2.6.20-12-generic and with Acer AWSMI (i think).
