 Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 10:02 am Post subject: Resolved: udev and IDE cdrom issues |
 |
|
Hi, all
I just got a new pc, and installed gentoo. Everything goes well except the cdrom.
The problem is when cdrom is disabled from bios, the OS can be started properly. But when this cdrom is enabled, most of the time, OS will failed to boot, leaving a message: "Waiting for uevents to be processed". I've tried to wait for several minutes, but without any result. What's more strange, when cdrom is enabled, the OS boots normally *SOMETIMES*, and cdrom works properly.
I've tried to set "udev_log" into debug in /etc/udev/udev.conf , and the boot process stuck at different places every-time when cdrom is not connected. And I've also tried to downgrade or upgrade udev to different versions, but this issue remains.
Following is some information about my PC and OS:

cdrom is not listed above, which is presented as VIA_PATA device in kernel.
udev: udev-151-r4
kernel: 2.6.35.3, with bfs patch from ck.
Any clues will be appreciated!

Is it an add-on card or something? For ATI chipsets pata_amd is the correct
driver.
How do you disable the cdrom in the BIOS? The usual way to set
one of the IDE controller slots to "disabled" doesn't affect Linux, since it will
load the driver for the PCI IDE device and probe for attached devices. The
BIOS settings usually only affect the BIOS, DOS or any other software which
uses BIOS calls to access block devices. |

It is IDE cdrom, connected to the ide slot of motherbord.

Yes, I just disabled the corresponding controller. And I know the probing of pci devices, more or less.
But, what is the cause of this issue? I can not figure it out.
To clarify that issue:
If the on-board IDE controller was disabled from BIOS, OS can boot normally, and CDROM can not be used.
Else if the IDE controller was enabled, there may be two results: OS book stuck for processing udevevent, OR it may boot normally;
It is really strange. |

what does "zgrep -E "IDE|DEPRECATED" /proc/config.gz" return
And make sure that boot order in the bios is "hd then cd"

I customized kernel on my own, and there is no "/proc/config.gz".
So I copied /usr/src/linux/.config to somewhere else, and created a gziped file.
Here is the result:
| Code: |
yyc@tubo ~ $ zgrep -E "IDE|DEPRECATED" config.gz
# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO is not set
# CONFIG_PARIDE is not set
CONFIG_HAVE_IDE=y
# CONFIG_IDE is not set
CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL=y
# CONFIG_FB_TRIDENT is not set
# CONFIG_SND_RIPTIDE is not set
# CONFIG_SND_TRIDENT is not set
# CONFIG_IDE_PHISON is not set
CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO=y
# CONFIG_ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED is not set
# CONFIG_PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT is not set
|
As to the boot order, cdrom was remove from the boot sequence.
Any ideas?
Thanks. |

I would say turn on the ide interface in the bios, turn off the cdrom (unplug the power from it) boot up and run lspci and see what drivers get applied to it.

You shouldn't be using pata_via at all, as the ide interface is being handled by "atiixp" according to the above.
what does grep PATA on your config file return |
I used to excute lspci in a livecd, and the result showed there are two IDEs, one is ATI controller, and the other is VIA controller.
But the result I posted here was derived with IDE controller disabled, so the VIA controller is not present.
Any way, I will try to deselect VIA_PATA and recompile the kernel.
Thanks. |

Well, I have to rescind what I said earlier, you will need the pata_via for the IDE drive.
What device do you have attached to it (cd/dvd), which model

what options do have in the bios that concern the ide other than turning it on or off.
You said you booted up from a live cd, were there any problems with the system hanging?
What drivers got loaded?

There is only one ide related setting in that bios: "OnBoard IDE Controller", with two possible options: enabled, or disabled.
| Quote: |

I used a Fedora 14 livecd, no problems occurred.
And I recompiled the kernel with PATA_VIA disabled, and then renable ide controller in the bios.
Then OS start up normally, but the cdrom can not be used. The /dev/cdrom dost not appear ether.
Now here is the result of lspci, related to IDE:

can you boot with the live cd, and run lspci and lsmod to see what is loaded, and uname -a

OK, thanks. |
The image of live cd was deleted by mistake. So I'll download a new one. That may task some time. |

This time, Fedora 14 live cd failed to boot too.
I recompiled linux-2.6.35.5, with PATA_VIA enabled , and added "CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y".
Then the it reported some "Section mismatch" in via_pci_probe(). So I followed this url:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2010/6/17/4584150, and used that patch.
(But it seems to be a patch for via graphic card drver ... )
Then recompiled, and reboot. I've test three times with this patched kernel, two of them succeeded to boot, one failed.
I'm trying the newer version, 2.6.35.7, to see whether it will work well or not. |

It does sound like the problem is related to the via chipset and driver interaction.
Not surprising as via doesn't release docs for their chips, as far as I know.
So it's trial and error.

Still the same result for linux-2.6.35.7.
It's too late, I need to goto bed.
May be I need to read kernel code of pata_via.c tomorrow to find what's going on ...
Thanks, roarinelk and Anon-E-moose.
If anyone has new idea, please let me know, if possible.
Thanks! |

Try this. It may be due to a conflict between the MBR on your hard drive a the fact that the bios is reporting your drive with a diff address after your cd rom config change.
Enable the cd rom in bios then boot with livecd.
Chroot to hard disk and also delete the 70-persistent* from rules.d under udev.
Then re install grub boot loader. |
