T500 w Vista hangs light w HDD and event log error iastor with ID 9 (Device\Ide\iaStor0)

Summary

Edited: This problem was finally resolved by Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver 8.6.3 sent by Lenovo, January 13, 2009

It is an intermittent problem on 500/T400 with XP or Vista 32.

Vista 32: the HARD drive light stays on for several minutes, sometimes never goes. The machine crashes immediately, or it may continue to work for a while sometimes sluggish performance w. In all cases the operating system stops not completely so that the HARD drive light is forcing a hard stop with the keyboard, button on / off.

XP: random BSOD of iastor.sys.

In the log window of the events is an event of error each time passed than the HDD light grip. Source is iastor, Id is 9, and the text is "the device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not in the expiration time. See below for a description of how show all events iastor error 9 in your event log.

The problem has appeared since the second or third week of December. The likely source is an update of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, driver version 8.6.0 delivered on 4 December.

This driver has been after December 4, distributed via Thinkvantage System Update. T400/500 made in December were also shipped with this driver installed. Since then, lenovo has withdrawn the driver, drivers, T400 and page software here and the T500 here page now shows the driver for Vista 32 and XP as version 8.2.4.

The experience is that this problem is solved in the restaurant or by installing the 8.2.4 version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver. If the 8.6.0 driver was installed through system update, go to Device Manager and open the Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller. On the driver tab, make sure that 8.6.0 is installed, and then click the roll back button.

If the T400/500 has been shipped with the 8.6.0 driver installed, first driver to download the 8.2.4 and run the extract in the c:\drivers folder. Update driver then choose Device Manager. On the second screen appearing to ensure you choose "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on the computer' - in the case otherwise, he will tell you, best driver is already installed when you click Next. In the next screen, select Intel(r) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller and click on "disk" and on the next screen, specify the path c:\drivers\win\imsm.

PS review iastor in case connection error messages comparing them to the update system install history as follows:

1. in Control Panel, in administrative tools, open the Windows event log. If this is not the first time, you use the newspaper, you may need to select the local newspaper - the top left - line for the Summary window to open in the Middle, you can maximize this window down.

2. Select the error line in the Middle window and click Show all instances of this event on the right side. All error events are now listed in the Middle window.

3. click on filter the current view on the right side. In the new menu, enter 9 in the field of event ID, select ok and then Yes.

4. you should now have a list of all occurrences of the error in iastor event. Scroll through the list and note the timestamp of the first occurrence of the error.

5. open Thinkvantage System Update, then select historical spectacle of installation. Scroll the window to the right you see the timestamps. Examine your updates, just before the message in iastor appeared first in your event log.

Original entry

My new T500 a few days after the execution of the first update of the system began to hang once or twice every 24 hours with light on HARD drive and "the device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not in the expiration time" in the registry.

,

iastor is the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (MSM) for their device RAID/AHCI controllers. The Intel AHCI controller listed in as installed for the T500 shows version 8.6.0 Device Manager, which is the current version according to the Intel web site.

There are zero warnings to disk in the event log errors, I ran the drive diagnostic - the drive is healthy. I don't think that this is a problem of DVD or disc, it's the MSM which is a failure.

Googling on the MSM error message there is a certain. A batch is since last year and concerns of Intel THAT MSM supporting properly - l/min, this has been fixed in MSM 7.5.0 see http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-025783.htm

A second batch was held earlier this year for Dell laptops that, without looking into the details, seems to have been caused by an incompatibility between the BIOS and the MSM reported. (Update system to update my BIOS to 1.20 - 1, 01).

Other solutions to this problem found on the web include the removal of iastor/MSM settings in the Windows registry to disable l/min and turn off AHCI in the BIOS.

It would be nice to be able to verify that this isn't a hard drive problem by disabling the AHCI and therefore the Intel controller. How to do that in T500 BIOS Setup and what are the implications on the performance of my drive (Hitachi 160 GB at 7200 RPM)?

    Additional information from http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-025783.htm

    "Timeout errors reported by iastor or iastor (v) in the Microsoft Event Viewer.

    "A change was made by Microsoft in the Windows Vista installation process. The result of this change is that the register Intel® Matrix Storage Manager LPM parameters which were intended for mobile installations are added for both office facilities. These LPM registry settings are added to both the RAID Intel® Matrix Storage Manager driver on the installation Windows Vista, as well as for all the added drivers disc during installation.

    Serial ATA desktop devices such as hard drives and CD/DVD drives have been reported that do not comply with the specification Serial ATA LPM and display erratic behavior when LPM is enabled.

    Because changing the configuration means that LPM is enabled by default for all Windows Vista platforms, using a device that does not completely respect the specifications may cause one of the problems listed. »

    I'm at Version 8.6 Intel Matrix Storage console well beyond the recommended version to solve this problem.

    Other research indicates that a registery hack is needed to solve this problem because the Intel driver is not yet certified (?).  The question is why a laptop power management setting is defined in a desktop computer.  It seems that these registry settings cause the hangs and the loss of the DVD player.  See http://derek858.blogspot.com/2009/01/windows-7-intel-sataahci-lockups.html

    The registry entries are for all ports are: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iaStor\Parameters\Portx] "LPMDSTATE" = DWORD: 00000001 must be zero.  I have not yet tried it.

    Chris,

    Yes, the problem has not reoccured since the installation of the latest Intel Matrix Console now known as Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) v9.6.0.1014.  I ran for ten days with the plague of your Player DVD which disappears and the EventID 9 [qualification] 49156 log records.  It seems to identify iastor.sys with this version of the code as the fixer of the problem and the culprit in earlier versions.  I don't see anything on the Intel site that explains the difficulty.  One would think that they could speak and help those who have the same problem.

    Thanks to all who helped.

  • Is there a complete list of the event log error codes and their meanings

    I found a number of online search tools, but I just want a sheet of calculation/text file that lists all event codes view log.

    Anyone know where I can find this information?

    It does not exist.

    For reports on Windows XP Event Viewer and older versions of this web site are as useful as any:
    http://www.EventID.NET/

    For Vista and Windows 7 Google is the best source of information. Search for selected text in the Description part of the report (not of the particular words of phrases) that "this exact word or phrase" Gets the best results. Focus on Social Technet and Microsoft Answers reports in the last 12 months. Look elsewhere if a response is difficult to find.

    Here are some notes on the event viewer reports that can help you. When you have a lot of mistakes, you need to focus on system errors and warnings, even if it's the applications that are giving you grief. Problems with the first sorting system can do the easier application problems. Note the time that the computer is started last and deal first with those at the beginning of the boot. Correct previous errors can be solved later.

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes four major newspapers in Windows. These are application, security and system with Applications and Service logs as a source more details... For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the button copy on the general tab allows you to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.

    Hi 1 year perateth.

    In order to solve the problem, I would suggest that you backup the data present on the system then format the hard drive and reinstall Windows Vista.

    Note: In a new installation, existing data on your computer are deleted. These data include data personal, settings, information about the hardware and software drivers. After installing the operating system, you must also reinstall all programs. Make sure that you back up data personal disks or other external storage devices before you perform a new installation.

    You can check the following items to install Windows Vista.

  • Satellite U400-15B hangs on the Internet and make multimedia keys touch

    Hi all

    Had two problems with my U400-15B which I hope to solve.

    (1) the first problem is that I noticed that my internet sometimes seems to weigh on Internet Explorer, when using the Web site who have a couple of images e.t.c.
    It freezes but the rest of the laptop works very well - I want to say you can go to the start menu and other programs very well. However, if you open Microsoft Word, while this is the case, it will take a little more time to load than normal upward. Anyone know what this might be or how I can fix this problem?

    I use Vista Home Premium 32-bit and the laptop has 4 GB of RAM / thus, Intel Centrino 2 P7350 - is powerful enough.

    (2) the second problem is that when I press the 'sound' button, the white lights and the white bar above the touchpad become informed. When I press on it again once the lights come back but he is not mute. Only when the laptop is put in standby mode and then woke up once again, the key work properly. All the others work fine. Does anyone know what is the cause?

    I exchanged this laptop 3 times now and each of them did question (2), but surely this isn't normal.

    Any help or advice to address these problems are very much appreciated.

    Thank you

    (1) have you tested a different internet browser? For example, Firefox.
    I use Firefox for years and never had any problems with it. I like Firefox over Internet Explorer, it s faster and you will get a lot of modules useful for her ScrapBook.

    My computer hangs up in the window "Logging Off" and will not be closed which needs to be cut.  This only happens if I used once sleep or hibernation.  If I turn on your computer and later to arrest him without using the sleep or hibernate closing occurs normally.  This problem occurred before my first date of system recovery, so I can't use this corrective method.  I suspect that the problem is related to the propulsion.

    Are you running Vista 64-bit? And the R5C822 and the R5C592 are Ricoh drivers. Do you have more information or can you say that you have installed the Ricoh devices? Maybe look in the Device Manager. Probably a card reader or camera?
