Pata_amd takes forever to load hanging at "[solved]

kernel26beyond 2.6.19.beyond1-1
Basically its a kernel 2.6.19 problem for me, where udev takes forever to load. I've narrowed it down to the problem module and its pata_amd. loading it with modprobe -v showed no errors, just takes 2 min or so to load. I've tried to blacklist the module, and oddly enough my hd works fine but my network doesn't work anymore "no route to host".
Using DFI nforce 4 (so no intel controller). sata II HD. turned off my cdrom in the bios (ide) just to be safe.
Here's some errors I noticed in logs
dmesg:
ata5.00: ATAPI, max UDMA/33

basically just gotta blacklist pata_amd and ata_generic. for some reason only blacklisting pata_amd would break my internet. *shrug*

Strange, I have a similar setup and pata is not loaded when using the following hooks:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata filesystems"
But if this still does not work, blacklist pata_amd and load amd74xx via rc.conf.
I'm speaking mainly from memory, I'll check it out when I get home from work. It aperantly failed booting up this morning, so I can't ssh in to try and fix it
Thanks for the help so far btw, been going crazy about this problem.
EDIT: Update (figured I won't make a new post)
Ok basically I tested it out a bit with different results:
Kernel26: takes 2-3 min at udev then boots up and works fine.
kernel26beyond1: takes 2-3 min at udev then hangs at "mounting filesystem"
kernel26beyond2: takes 2-3 min at udev, then boots fine, but internet doesn't work.
Disabling pata_amd: breaks internet.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect sata scsi filesystems resume"

  • Devices and Printers Menu takes forever to load

    Devices and Printers Menu takes forever to load in WIndows 8.1.
    For some reason the green bar goes all the way across the top of the screen before the devices and printers
    menu will load. It then loads without an issue after waiting for almost two full minutes.
    This is a core I7 Win 8.1 PC with 16GB of ram and an SSD so it screams otherwise. 
    I do have a lot of devices on my home network but my windows 7 PC which is on the same network loads the devices
    and printers menu almost instantly. If it were a device hanging up you would think that the Windows 7 PC would also be affected but it isn't. I will say that Windows 8.1 does identify a whole lot more devices that fall into the category of "multimedia
    devices" on the network than does windows 7.
    I have tried accessing the menu from safe mode both with and without networking and it takes just as long
    to load.
    I have noticed that most of the devices in Devices and Printers also show up in file explorer under network.
     There is however no delay accessing that menu.
    I don't really have a good feeling as to how to go about troubleshooting from here?

    Hi,
    For the issue, it seems one of services related to device stopped.
    I suggest you check the services to see if they start.
    Please refer to the following link:

    Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.
    We can try testing if the method in Windows 7 can work on Windows 8.1 computer.
    If it doesn't work, I suggest you remove all device to test it.
    Meanwhile, let us try SFC tool to check the result.

  • File encoded with x264 takes forever to load in Encore CS 5.5

    I use Encore mostly because it takes h.264 video encoded with the x264 compressor, which provides much higher quality than any other compressor. The problem is that these files take forever to load. For example, right now I'm trying to load a video that is about 1 hour and 20 minutes long, encoded at 38 Mbps, and the file is 20.9 GBytes. Now it's 3 PM and I imported this file along with the AC3 file over an hour ago. The Encore process shows as not responding, but when I open the Windows 7 Resource Monitor, in the disk tab it shows that it's reading the video file at a rate of about 45 MB/s, so I didn't kill the Encore process. I know eventually it's going to stop and load the file, but I don't understand why it takes so long. The encoding parameters that I used in x264 are these:
    x264 --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --preset slow --bitrate 38000 --keyint 30 --min-keyint 2 --open-gop --weightp 0 --slices 4 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --rc-lookahead 40 --tff --output "output" "input"
    This comes from a family video that is 1080 59.94i. This time these two parameters appeared because I selected Blu-ray as the target:  --bluray-compat and --open-gop, which I don't normally use, but still, even when I don't use them, video encoded with x264 takes forever to load. Does anybody here know what could be the problem?

    What's weird is last year I encoded a file that was almost two hours long and Encore took it without trouble, although it was CS5, not 5.5. Since I had kept the avs and bat files, and also the x264.exe from that encode, I brought them into the current working folder and I just modified the file names in the avs and bat files to point to the new avi and encode to the new h264 file. So I encoded this file, I imported it into Encore, and it still hangs. Maybe it was a change from CS5 to 5.1 that introduced a problem. x264 has been certified to be Blu-ray compliant since over a year ago, and I already put this file to a Blu-ray with TSMuxer, since it was a family video and I didn't really need menus, and it plays perfectly fine in my Blu-ray player.
    But I'm sure there must be something, one or two parameters that would make it compatible. For example, after encoding the file again the last time, now I can import it into Encore, and it doesn't stay frozen forever, but it doesn't show me the video and as soon as I try to move the timeline cursor it freezes and doesn't let me do anything for several minutes. So still it's not usable. But it's a change from the first encode where the progress dialog would be there for several hours and do nothing at all.

  • No matter what wi-fi I'm connected to or browser I'm using, webpages take forever to load or they never load at all. Other computers do not have any problems. How can i fix this?

    I've tried safari, chrome, firefox...I've cleared the cache as well. This has been going on for several months and used to be tolerable as it was not every website. Now it has become every website and is impossible to deal with. My roommates computer and my cell phone connect fine. I'm fully connected to the router yet websites don't load. I'm using 10.7.5. Thank you!!

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Small Quicktime movies & music show as 'Q' icons - take FOREVER to load

    I have a site - joelplimmer.com (I created a re-direct - it's my iWeb .Mac site really) and the Quicktime content is taking forever to load - it USED to load fairly quickly - I have gone into 'package contents' in my 'domain' file in application support and looked at which files are too large - strangely, most are < 10 meg, but many of those are ones that take forever to load. I've minimized some of the larger files I had on the site - still no luck on .Mac (it looks fine when I publish to a folder, of course). So, I tried deleting EVERYTHING in my joelplimmer.com folder on my iDisk and re-publishing from scratch, STILL the same thing. I have tried this from different computers, both Mac & PC - with the same result. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

    Of course it takes ages to load.
    4 movies on a page, 6 audio files on a page, I lost count. I left before the encore.
    Most problems are not technical.
    Just using your brain will solve them. Try it.

  • Facebook games take forever to load and all 'items' never show on screen

    i have updated to Firefox (safe mode), have updated flash player and have gone through pages and pages of help articles, but any and all of my facebook games (farmville, petville, farmtown, etc.) take forever to load and after loaded move extremely slowly AND never load fully. Only 1/10 of actual "items" ever load. When I click on the normal things I have to "perform" when playing the game, it takes effect minutes later, never immediately as normal and buildings, gifts, etc., never let me use them at all.....

  • Takes forever to load YouTube or anything else. Network works fine on iPad and iPhone.

    My new Apple TV takes forever to load up you tube or any content
    Using wifi.  My network is fine and all other devices have no issue
    Loading same content. I have updated the latest software
    and did not help.

    Spent 1.5 hours with a Senior Apple Advisor. Apple practically turned my iMac inside out determining nothing is wrong.  He said the key phrase to tell Verizon and earthlink is that the ping does not respond.  Ports 110 & 587 do not respond.
    1 hour with a Verizon rep who initiated a 3 way call with earthlink.
    2 hours with an earthlink person who claims the only ports to use are the ones I have.  I don't believe that.
    Problem is still not solved. 
    At this point earthlink has opened a ticket and is supposedly looking into this.  I do not have much hope of a response from them.
    Does anyone have an alternative mail client to rec'd?

  • Firefox (for android) takes forever to load or doesn't load at all

  • Quicktime videos take forever to load on my system

    Is it me alone, or does anyone have the same problem? I have a excellent system, and nothing takes forever to load on it, only Quicktime videos. The only reason why I use quicktime on my XP machine is to watch the videos that are downloaded from my Kodak camera memory card since the camera saves its video files as quicktime videos, but it takes forever for the video files to load after I have downloaded them and saved them into a folder on my system. When I want to go back and view the videos, the folder freezes until all the videos, even if it is only one video in the folder loads. Why is that? Other video files load immediatley from avi,wmv,to divx,etc.
    Does anybody have a solution?

  • Nothing is working right, it freezes all the time and takes forever to load

    The first time I switched to Firefox 4 it worked really fast but since then it takes forever to load, the pages freeze, some sites don't recognize 4. It is very irritating trying to just get on the internet. Facebook will load slower that ever and freeze constantly. Other sites partially load then freeze. Typing anything will often freeze in mid word. I hate this. What is going on?
    What is all this stuff at the bottom in the "Installed plugins" section?

    Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

  • Question 1: new website takes forever to load.

    I just published my first website. The first page is all words and yet it takes forever to load. Why is this?
    The site is: http://shortpoem.org/
    Any suggestions on how to speed things up? Thank you.
    (The credit page mentions Sandvov, however I removed those pages.)

    It could be that the audio track is the biggest part of the file size. CD audio (AIFF format) is about 10MB's per minute and, if that's what you used, reducing the quality and adding compression could dramatically reduce the file size.
    iTunes can open AIFF and convert it to AAC or MP3 formats. Use half the frequency (22050) and a bit rate of 96 to get it down in size.
