[Bug 594282] Re: kernel fails to boot, SRST failed (errno > = -16) but will boot after first booting windows

 

pdgtips, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  kernel fails to boot,  SRST failed (errno > = -16) but will boot after
  first booting windows

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My problem is on this particular hardware the kernel does not boot, as
  it fails to talk to the hard disks and I see a SRST failed (errno =
  -16) error messages. I have just been through my old Ubuntu cds and
  the last kernel I have that boots is 2.6.24-16 generic SMP x86_64. All
  kernels I have later than this have the above problem. I am currently
  on 2.6.32-22-generic SMP x86_64 I used rootdelay and all_generic_ide
  to get some later kernels to boot but recently even this does not
  work. I bought new hard disks as I thought this may be a motherboard
  hard disk incompatibility but I still have the problem.

  I have found that if I boot windows first, current kernels boot every
  time without any special options, so it looks like something is not
  getting set in the motherboard by later kernels that windows is
  setting

  I have also tried 2.6.34-020634-generic SMP x86_64 and it also fails
  to boot unless I first boot into windows
