Description Frank Cox 2007-06-01 18:52:54 UTC

Description of problem:
I updated this computer from FC6 to Fedora 7.  Now when
I first boot it, immediately after printing the "Starting Red Hat Nash" line,
it pauses and over the course of the following two minutes or so it prints the
following error message three times:

ata1:00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)

After that it continues booting normally and everything appears to be working
as it should.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot computer
2.Wait for Red Hat Nash message
3. Error messages follow.
  
Actual results:
One error message repeated 3 times with several second pause between each,
followed by the rest of the bootup process.

Expected results:
No error messages.

Additional info:
dmesg file attached.

Comment 2 Frank Cox 2007-06-01 21:08:41 UTC

This appears to be a bios issue of some kind. I switched my IDE-Config in the
bios to "legacy" from "enhanced" (which was the default) and set it to "SATA
P0/P2,P1/P3" and my computer now boots normally without that error message.

However, on what seems to be a related note, I have discovered that my CD burner
is missing. It doesn't show up anywhere with any IDE-Config setting, either
legacy or enhanced.

(Other settings under "legacy" are "P1/P3,PATA" and "P0/P2, PATA" but none of
them make the CD drive appear.)

FC6 worked fine with the bios set to "enhanced".

Comment 3 Frank Cox 2007-06-01 21:10:04 UTC

Oh yes, one of those other bios settings that I listed above (P1/P3/PATA or
P0/P2/PATA) doesn't allow my computer to boot at all.  It just requests a
bootable media when that is set.

I'm having the same error messages at boot time that Frank has.  Here is my
dmesg output.

Comment 5 Frank Cox 2007-06-02 05:00:11 UTC

I have been doing some further experimentation with IDE-config bios settings.

The default bios IDE-config setting of "enabled" worked fine with FC6; the
computerbooted off of the hard drive and found the cdrom and everything.

However, the "enabled" setting doesn't work well with Fedora 7.  It gives me a
"ata1.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)" error message repeated three
times over the course of about two minutes immediately after the Red Hat Nash
line, before it continues to boot up normally.  The cdrom is not detected
after boot-up.

Changing the SATA setting to "legacy" gives me several choices.

1. SATA P0/P2, PATA detects the hard drive and the cdrom in the bios, but gives
me the above "ata1.00:failed" error just the same as the "enabled" setting.  It
also boots from the hard drive and works, but doesn't detect the cdrom after
boot-up.

2. SATA P1/P3,PATA won't boot at all and doesn't detect the cdrom in the bios.

3. PATA ONLY works just the same as #2 above.

4. SATAP0/P2,P1/P3 doesn't detect the cdrom in the bios but boots up from the
hard drive without the "ata1.00:failed" error.  It doesn't detect the cdrom
after boot-up either.

Another bios setting on the same screen, "IDE bus master", doesn't appear to
change anything if it's set to either enabled or disabled.  The default setting
is enabled.

Comment 6 Eduard Vopicka 2007-06-03 22:07:07 UTC

I am experiencing probably the same problem. There are 4 timeout messages during
boot.

The workaround seems to be to add "irqpoll" to kernel boot line. After that,
there are no timeouts, but I am not satisfied with machine performance and
responsiveness.

It appears that this is maybe bug that is known and somewhat fixed for several
months. Reference:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ide@vger.kernel.org/msg03088.html or just
google for +"failed to set xfermode"

Here is an excerpt from my /var/run/dmesg which shows both timeouts messages and
disk/CD-ROM devices connected to my system.

Comment 7 Sven Neuhaus 2007-06-04 13:00:05 UTC

Try the boot option "noirqdebug" instead of "irqpoll".

Comment 8 Eduard Vopicka 2007-06-05 20:15:55 UTC

2 Sven Neuhaus: Many thanks for your suggestion, but noirgdebyg alone does not
help, timeouts are back.

Maybe the best solution is to boot without both noitgdebug and irqpoll, be
patient during timeouts and once the machine boots, it runs fine. Of course,
such a long timeouts during boot are *BIG* annoyance. Hope this will be fixed in
the next kernel update.

Brgds,

Ed

Comment 9 Martin Jürgens 2007-06-06 22:27:30 UTC

Same issue with Liteon 52x CD Burner. This bug could be related to bug 242387.

Comment 10 Sven Neuhaus 2007-06-09 15:03:19 UTC

I think this bug is related to bug #242561.
It starts with "qc timeout", then there's "failed to set xfermode" and after 3
tries it gives up: "ata2.01: disabled"

Comment 11 Come David 2007-06-10 19:55:03 UTC

I have the same problem.
After "Starting Red Hat Nash" line , I have 3 messages :
ata1:00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)

However the message number 4 is :
ata1:00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40)

And as same Frank Cox, my cd-rom is not detected on F7.

PS: Excuse me if my message is not very good or if bad unterstood what you said
 , but I'm french and I'm  young.

Comment 12 Eduard Vopicka 2007-06-16 12:19:59 UTC

kernel-2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 seems to fix this for me.

Comment 13 Rodney Brown 2007-06-16 12:59:59 UTC

Concur with comment #12, Kernel-2.6.21-3228.fc7 had no delays or atax.xx errors
at bootup.

Comment 14 TJ Hoye 2007-06-21 15:46:49 UTC

I've had this problem ever since I began mixing pata and sata drives and linux
kernels later than 2.6.15 or thereabouts.

This problem meaning a three-minute boot-up delay followed by missing ide
entries in /dev.  I eventually found that the irqpoll kernel option solved *my*
problem. 
My hardware that contributes to this, I think, is (1) an Intel ICH5 'sata'
driver in a Gigabyte mb; and (2) an ide Lite-on cdrw. I am unaware of any
performance penalty due to the irqpoll option in current Fedora or Ubuntu distros.

With Kernel-2.6.21-3228.fc7, I no longer need the irqpoll option in Fedora to
avoid the boot-up delay and the disappearance of ide assets.

Comment 15 Steve Kramer 2007-08-17 17:17:15 UTC

I've had a similar problem, but not quite the same.   When I installed f7 with
kernel 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7, (and rebuilt same kernel from Fedora sources) the
system booted fine.  With the yum update of 2.6.22.1-41.fc7, I get these errors
repeatedly:
      ata1.00: failed to set xfermode (errmask=0x40)
      COMRESET failed (-16)

This also occurs with the vanilla kernel.org 2.6.22.1 and 2.6.22.3 kernels.
The "irqpoll" in the grub.conf file had no impact on the errors.

So it looks like when others had their problems clear up on the newer kernels,
my system regressed.

I'm running a Dell XPS Gen 3 machine, 3.6Ghz, P4, 1Mb cache, with 2 disks, a
DVD-ROM, and DVD+RW. 

Here are some snippets from dmesg (with the f7 kernel that boots), with "..."

I'm getting the same problem. I am unable to access the CD/RW attached as 
master in my secondary IDE interface.

I started getting this problem after upgrading to FC7 using "yum upgrade" from 
an upto date FC6 (Up to date as of september 5, 2007)

the previous three comments are my corresponding attachments.

Comment 20 Raul Suarez 2007-09-11 04:14:09 UTC

Adding irqpool apparently made the problem go away

  kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet irqpoll

Although I'm wondering if it realy went away or I'm just sweeping a problem 
under the rug as this problem didn't happen before.

As already mentioned, it should work fine with an update Fedora 7 DVD from
Fedoraunity and with Fedora 8.

I solved the message problem on Linux luisraul 2.6.20 with irqpoll, but the 
disk access performance is very low such as 20MB/s which should be ususally 
above 40MB/s.
What should I do to resolve this performance problem ?

This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.

Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/

The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. 
Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not 
receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we 
are closing this bug. 

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version 
of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
