As anyone seen "IOATAController device blocking bus" in the
system.log? I did a google on the message but can not find any
references to this anyware. I started getting this error message on
two different laptops after upgrading it 10.3.2. When I get these
messages the hard drive is making a nasty clicking sound and all disk
IO is blocked. Doing a clean install makes the problem go way for a
while but it does come back after a few weeks.
I don't know how my experience relates to yours, but:
I have seen this several times, on a 500Mhz Firewire/USB G3 laptop,
while trying to mount a CD. In each case, I fixed it expeditiously
:-} by waiting until the dust settled, opening the CD tray, and
closing it again. The nasty clicking sound, in my case, seemed to be
CD-related.
For me it's not CD related and it seems to be new with 10.3.2. It's
happened on both my TiBook 667Mz (Without DVI) and a iBook G3 500. It
seems that after the problem going on for a while I am unable to boot
and I start getting bad disk errors and am forced to do a clean
reinstall. It does not seem to be filesystem related as if I use
firewire disk mode the drive is just fine and everything can be read
and recovered without any issues at all.
From looking around it looks like the message is from
IOATAController::handleExecIO() line 922. I may see if I can get it to
recompile with the ATA debug messages enabled to see if it turns
anything up. I have not had a chance to run diff's between the 10.3.2
and 10.3.1 versions yet.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or is just that my laptops don't like
me ;-)
