This "dead at boot time" issue is impacting the general ability to test
patches against latest -git in time for the current merge window.
In the meantime, does the patch I sent out help people?
Your patch from this posting http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/17/285
does not seem to make much difference here.
It still crashes at exactly the same place.
However, Jens's patch from that same thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/17/269
..allowed me to boot and post this followup message from -git12
Jeff: try that one.
That's already in my upstream kernel, here. commits
ba951841ceb7fa5b06ad48caa5270cc2ae17941e and
a3bec5c5aea0da263111c4d8f8eabc1f8560d7bf.
sata_mv and sata_nv still reliably poop themselves here, whereas its
rock solid with 2.6.23.1. Sounds like different issues from yours, as I
see a stream of SATA errors on the bad kernels, errors which are often a
symptom of something whacked in the DMA engine (misprogramming causes
the silicon to generate bogus FIS's, which the device then chokes on)
