System completely freezes at the moment HTP302 controller is probed. The only way to boot is to pass 'hde=noprobe hdf=noprobe hdg=noprobe hdh=noprobe' to kernel, rendering the IDE controller unusable. This can be reproduced with: - Gentoo 2005.0 minimal CD - Gentoo 2006.0 LiveCD - gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r{5,7} - gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r{2,3} - vanilla-sources-2.6.17_rc2 System boots just fine with - WinXP SP2 *cough* :P - Ubuntu 5.04 x86 install CD (detects HTP302 and the drives just fine) lspci -v output: 00:0e.0 RAID bus controller: Triones Technologies, Inc.

So, even when HPT support is built as a module and not autoloaded, the system still crashes on boot? Or only when the module is loaded?
(In reply to comment #4) > So, even when HPT support is built as a module and not autoloaded, the system > still crashes on boot? Or only when the module is loaded? Only when the module gets loaded (or when the driver is built into kernel and controller gets probed). I've been debugging the thing w/ johnm, last working kernel is 2.6.10.5 (that's what Ubuntu 5.04 install CD has); 2.6.11 already fails. Didn't trace it to a particular patch, since these old kernels are not in git, so bisect is not useful. :(
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/old-2.6-bkcvs.git The granularity isn't great but you can bisect that

Erm... unless someone has a brilliant idea here, I'm giving up. Even the Ubuntu CD kernel freezes once I load ide-generic. Also, if I unset CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC in any 2.6 kernel version, hpt366 gets loaded during boot - but still requires noprobe passed to kernel to successfully boot (tried w/ gentoo-sources-2.6.16-r4), otherwise it freezes. After that, if I rmmod -f hpt366 (rmmod doesn't unload the module w/o -f), it can't be modprobed any more until reboot - only the following appears in /var/log/messages: kobject_register failed for HPT366_IDE (-17) [<c02a5d0b>] [<c031a382>] [<c02b2a0b>] [<f10b0177>] [<c0132cae>] [<c01443ee>] [<c0114dc1>] [<c0102e7f>] So, unless you have some ideas where to, just close the bug - no idea where to start debugging this. So far I've tried lots of kernels starting from 2.6.10 u to 2.6.17 and none of them makes it possible to use the drives connected to that controller.
There are a few things you can try: Enabling soft lockup detection under kernel hacking Using the nmi watchdog (see Documentation/nmi_watchdog.txt) Setting up a serial console and seeing if anything is logged upon freeze
Reopen if you ever decide to follow this up :)
