You will found the details in the specified Web Page, under the posts made by me, under the name of "e001754" (sorry for this stupid user-name, but it's my login at work, and I put it in everywhere I go to have only one to remember !) Extracts of the Web page : my mobo is an Abit IS7G (i865PE) and my HDC (which is my DVD drive) is not detected, exactly as described. The boot sequence gives me following : ide0 : I/O resource 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free ide0 : ports already in use, skipping probe BUT WHY ARE ALL MY DRIVES WORKING PERFECTLY WITH THE LIVECD (Gentoo Live CD, Mandrake Install CD, Suse Install CD, Fedora Install CD) ??? There should be a little something in a litlle somewhere that fucks everything up... I've got : 1 SATA Drive My CD/DVD are plugged on the legacy IDE port, as IDE3 and IDE4. Got an SCSI chain as well. What I noticed today make think I've found the way to reproduce the bug : if the 1st IDE drive on the second channel is spinning when the kernel tries to probe it, the kernel doesn't detect it (saying the resource is not free as written before). If I wait 30 seconds at the grub start, this let the time for the drive to stop spindling and then the drive is detected flawlessly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start the computer (1 SATA drive seen as the #1 IDE Drive on channel 0, 1 DVD as HDC (ide #1 on channel 1), 1 CDRW as HDD (ide #2 on channel 1), 1 UW SCSI Chain (3 hard-disks attached on it)) 2. Don't let the time for all drives to stop spindling (especially my DVD Drive) 3. Have the following message during hardware probe : ide0 : I/O resource 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free ide0 : ports already in use, skipping probe 4. The DVD drive will never again being displayed anywhere, except if you restart the computer and let the time for the drive to stop spindling. Actual Results: I have been able to use my DVD that I couldn't use for months under Linux ! :-) Expected Results: Having being able to detect the drive what could be ever it's spindling state. Or, waiting for the spindling to stop before probing (probably easier to program). bash-2.05b# dmesg Rev: S95E Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 scsi0:A:3:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.

1. you didn't say which kernel you are using, and which others you have tried 2. you didn't post emerge info as requested on the input form 3. you posted a big dmesg log when we have an attachment feature for that
Created attachment 45854 [details] emerge --info
Kernel = 2.6.7-gentoo-r11
I haven't try any other kernel. I have been booting a lot of time since I entered this bug. Now, I'm not so sure that the drive is not detected when it spindles, but, if I'm not waiting 30 seconds in Grub, the HDC isn't detected. I'm waiting 30 seconds and I don't strike any key to proceed faster. Perhaps is this that. I'll do some other tries and I'll let you know exactly.
2.6.7 is quite outdated now. I'd suggest that you upgrade to 2.6.9 as a production kernel. For the sake of this bug, could you please test development-sources-2.6.10-rc3 and see if its fixed there? Thanks
I tried with the kernel 2.6.10-rc3, and I have exactly the same problem as I had with the 2.6.7-gentoo-r11: The kernel doesn't detect my HDC drive unless I leave the timer in GRUB set to 30 seconds. If I don't wait for 30 seconds (perhaps less than 30 is possible), my HDC is not detected. If I wait, everything is ok : my HDC is detected and fully usable. Just let me know if you want more informations about anything on my computer.
Ok, thanks for the test. Could you please report this at http://bugzilla.kernel.org as this is not a direct problem with Gentoo's kernel. Thanks.
