Check the error bits in the interrupt status register. According to the AHCI 1.2 spec, "Interrupt sources that are disabled (‘0’) are still reflected in the status registers.", so this should work even though grub uses polling This fixes the following problem on a Fujitsu E744 laptop: Sometimes there is a very long delay (up to several minutes) when booting from hard disk. It seems accessing the DVD drive (which has no disk inserted) sometimes fails with some errors, which leads to each access being stalled until the 20s timeout triggers. This seems to happen when grub is trying to read filesystem/partition data. The problem is that the command_issue bit that is checked in the loop is only reset if the "HBA receives a FIS which clears the BSY, DRQ, and ERR bits for the command", but the ERR bit is never cleared. Therefore command_issue is never reset and grub waits for the timeout. The relevant bit in our case is the Task File Error Status (TFES), which is equivalent to the ERR bit 0 in tfd. But this patch also checks the other error bits except for the "Interface non-fatal error status" bit.

This is GRUB 2, the second version of the GRand Unified Bootloader. GRUB 2 is rewritten from scratch to make GNU GRUB cleaner, safer, more robust, more powerful, and more portable. See the file NEWS for a description of recent changes to GRUB 2. See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install the GRUB 2 data and program files. Please visit the official web page of GRUB 2, for more information. The URL is <http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub.html>. More extensive documentation is available in the Info manual, accessible using 'info grub' after building and installing GRUB 2. There are a number of important user-visible differences from the first version of GRUB, now known as GRUB Legacy. For a summary, please see: info grub Introduction 'Changes from GRUB Legacy'
