Description

Exactly the same problem on an HP d530 CMT. Enabling or disabling these unused ports in the BIOS does not seem to make any difference. I can confirm this on Optiplex 270. It also happens on Dell OptiPlex GX620 with sata drives installed in the first interface, but no sata drives on the second sata interface. Lspci list the sata interface as follows: 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family) Serial ATA Storage Controllers cc=IDE (rev 01). It seems that something is unhappy with sata interfaces which have no drives. Also, this bug seems to be a duplicate of #211591: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211591 I can confirm this error on a Dell Optiplex GX280 using kernel 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5smp. Also, many people seem to have the same problem on FC6. For more cases, see: http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=657291 Following comment #2 here and my post for #211591: in my case I do have a disk attached to one the sata channels, but the other channel is empty. The disk gets detected OK if the BIOS enables it, otherwise it doesn't. Still, I get the exact same boot messages for both channels regardless whether the disk gets detected or not. I also tried to boot without the disk (it's not the boot drive), but I get the same result. So the disk does not seem to matter. Also, the system works all right despite this nuisance at boot time. Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on.
