Everything is fine, except the idea is to run my laptop without disk but it seem BIOS and kernel(?) are very stubborn there shuld be a HD, and wastes extreme time waiting for it even though it is not listed as boot device in BIOS and is not in fstab.
First, it take many extra seconds before it load GRUB.
Then, mageia waste a minute trying to reset ata1; i see on screen building line by line with variable time apart
(first number seem to be time in seconds) :
- Code: Select all
[ 20.427073] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16)
[ 20.427073] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16)
[ 30.472003] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16)
[ 73.427073] ata1: SRST failed (errno=-16)
[ 78.427073] ata1: reset failed, giving up
And then it boot to desktop in 20 seconds.
Worst thing is that i get a delay both when entering and returning from both hibernation and standby!
And during that time i have only a black screen.
The delay in BIOS i we can not do anything about.
(I have searched BIOS settings, no hd settings except boot order and i have removed everything except CD and USB disk.)
But for mageia, can I pass some kernel parameter or make a setting in a file to have it not touch (p)ata?
Verificaton: When i plug in a HD it boots, hibernates, standby impressively quick.
(But this is a laptop where i do not want to carry extra weight nor waste energy)
(and it do not have sata so no modern SSD fit. This Sandisk Extreme 32GB is fast enough - faster than original IDE)
