dom0 hangs on boot

[nheinen]

Updated Ubuntu Hardy Beta Fresh Install amd64 xen-server
I have also tried 32bit.

Chipset: Nforce4 Sli

Booting the Xen image hangs with this

ata3: Sata link up 1.5Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)
ata3: timeout waiting for ADMA Legacy clear and IDLE

I've tried booting with

noapic
acpi=off

Same result

I've also tried booting with sync.

Is there a way for me to get the boot logs? (It never mounts root)

Also root is sitting on a lvm partition (ie /dev/lvm/root)

Confirmed. I have very similar hardware and I get the same timeout error. The system goes in to a loop constantly rebooting.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

The Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Beta release was most recently announced - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/intrepid/beta . It contains the 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. It would be great if you could test and verify if this is still an issue. The status is being set to Incomplete until we receive further feedback. Thanks.
