I recently wiped 7.04 and installed 8.04 on my storage/printer server. The install failed trying to boot the live CD, drops me out to busybox with the following error over and over again: ata1.00 FAILED TO IDENTIFY (I/O ERROR. ERR_MASK=0X4) failed to recover some devices unable to find a medium containing a live file system After a fair amount of searches I found out that the Dell Vostro's suffer from this same issue and there are two workarounds. You can change your Bios Sata type to RAID (even if you don't have a raid) or you can add all_generic_ide to the grub menu.lst file. The bios option did not appear to work (I don't have a dell, it's an asus A8V-MX motherboard) so I added the line to grub. This got me through the install and everything. I started to copy all my data from one sata drive to the other (about 320ish GB) and it is telling me that I will need to wait 44hours!!!!!! Obviously there is a performance hit when you use the all_generic_ide option. Can someone possibly explain how to actually fix this issue? the way I see it, I can research this for 2 days and if we can figure it out I'll still come out ahead! Thanks! Let me know what other information I can post! Last edited by mortalic; August 9th, 2008 at 06:44 AM.

gajo Member Registered: 2008-04-01 Posts: 93 Website long boot due to ata recognition problems [SOLVED] As the message says my boot is taking about 10 minutes, of which 95% of the time is spent trying to recognize ata4 device.I'm using the x86_64 version of arch, which works just fine on my laptop, and on my desktop - when it boots that is.Another thing that puzzles me is how am I getting those errors, considering I don't really have 4 ata drives, yet only two - hard disk and dvd rom.Anyway, this is my dmesg output :Linux version 2.6.24-ARCH (root@artin) (gcc version https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=883335 4.3.0 (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 30 10:50:22 CEST 2008 Command line: root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=791 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009f000 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000f0000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000007fee0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000007fee0000 - 000000007fee3000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 000000007fee3000 - 000000007fef0000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000007fef0000 - 000000007ff00000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=47039 Entering add_active_range(0, 0, 159) 0 entries of 256 used Entering add_active_range(0, 256, 524000) 1 entries of 256 used end_pfn_map = 1048576 DMI 2.4 present.

Post #1 of 2 (1224 views) Permalink ata errors on startup (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) Hello, I've recently made a few changes to my machine, and one of the unfortunate side effects http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/user/226964 is the following error. Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 7.396912] ata14.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1) Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 7.398906] ata14.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 7.706463] ata14: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300) Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 17.691838] ata14.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1) Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 17.742749] ata14.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O failed to error, err_mask=0x4) Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 17.792643] ata14: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 18.098235] ata14: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 48.103265] ata14.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1) Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 48.154184] ata14.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) Mar 5 17:15:32 localhost kernel: [ 48.509669] ata14: SATA link up 1.5 failed to identify Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) This causes my boot to pause while the kernel probes ports, which I'm fairly confident do not exist. I have x5 sata devices attached to my computer. They are all reported, and work great. I'm not sure where it's getting "ata14 from". I recently RMA'd my motherboard, and one of the first side effects I noticed was my ethernet (eth0) was completely missing. Through google, I found out udev had written the old device info from my previous motherboard in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Simply deleting this file and rebooting fixed that. Is it possible something very similar is going on here, but with my ata devices? I also swapped out a few disks today. I dropped an old raid0 in favor of an ssd, but everything went fine as far as I can tell. I'm not positive, but I think this error existed before I did this.
