 Posted: Tue Feb 06, 2007 3:15 am Post subject: [SOLVED]Kernel-2.6.20: What is the best settings for GA-DS4 |
 |
|
EDIT: you need to have SCSI disk support, SCSI CD-ROM, and SCSI generic enabled in the kernel settings. No need for the old ATA/MRL support.
Hi.
I want to put this in the past one and for all. (Gigabyte P965-DS4)
What would be the best kernel settings for this lspci:
| Code: |
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82P965/G965 Memory Controller Hub (rev 02)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82P965/G965 PCI Express Root Port (rev 02)

05:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 08)
|
Please take a special note to the SATA/IDE setting.. I always seem to get something wrong which makes one of my hd fail to mount...
I just want to have all my SATA/IDE ports to work. (Total 8 SATA Ports and 1 IDE port)
Thanks!
Dekel

I have a DQ6, which is almost 100% identical to the DS4. On 2.6.20 to get access to your drives goto: Device Drivers => Serial ATA and enable Intel PIIX/ICH SATA Support, Jmicron PATA support, and to be safe enable Generic ATA and AHCI SATA support.
I have not yet tried the SATA ports on the Jmicron controller, but they seem to be found fine in dmesg. I'll be getting more hard drives in the next month or two to fill up all 8 ports so we'll see how that goes. Everything else works greats.
I disabled all of Device Drivers => ATA support except for floppy support, all the drives are handled in Serial ATA.
For sound support, goto Device Drivers => Sound => ALSA => PCI => Intel HD Audio
For network support, goto Device Drivers => Network Device => Ethernet (1000 Mbit) and select SysKonnect Yukon2

Thanks, Say, What about your bios settings?
Do you use AHCI?
Do you use: Native or Legacy mode for the IDE?
And finally, what do you use for the SATA Ctrl Mode? AHCI, Raid or IDE?
Thanks again,
Dekel

Ok, First try and it seems to recognize my chipsets however It was too fast for me to detect the actual naming of the drives.
Which results in Kernel Panic
Currently my drives are named: sda..sdb hdg etc...
Can you tell me how is the kernel recognize your drives?
Thanks.

I have DQ6 too. I would only enable ACHI SATA Support, not Intel PIIX in Serial ATA config (Compare this and this). Generic SATA support is also useless. ACHI native mode enabled of course in bios.

 Did you enable "Include IDE/ATAPI FLOPPY support", BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY? That has nothing to do with a regular floppy, regular floppy can be found in Block devices --> "Normal floppy disk support", BLK_DEV_FD.

I actually stopped using this, the driver is totally broken in DQ6 (heavy use crashes the driver). Don't know about the latest .20 kernel, but I doubt if it's any better. I had to use one PCI slot for an external nic  |

Thanks for the tips there. I'll modify my config and see how it goes.
And for guru369: My drives show up as sda, sdb... just like yours, except for my DVD-R, which is sr0 (udev should make a nice link to it automatically)

this just drives me crazy!!
Why oh why the PC get stuck when there is a kernel panic??? At least allow to page up to see the kernel messages!!!!
I have no idea why it cant find the root device.
I tried everything: sda/sdb/sdc hdg you name it!!!
I am sure it finds the drives as I see a glimps of that when the kernel loads!!!
Please HELP!!!

What do you have for your kernel options in grub/lilo?
Do you have the filesystem you are using compiled into the kernel, or is it a module? if it's a module, do you have an initrd created?

Ok its like this:
I have a working kernel setting but it includes the generic ATA settings and generic PCI ata.
My partition layout is as follow:
sda1(NTFS) sda2(NTFS) sda3(FAT32)
sdb1(NTFS) sdb2(Ext2)=My boot partition sdb3(swap) sdb4(Ext3)=My root partition.
hdg1(Ext3) (Download stuff)
I am 100% sure the drives are recognized because I see in the kernel boot messages the AHCI initialize.
I just dont know what names the partition gets...
Fustrating... 
Oh one more thing:
my grub config:
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.20-gentoo root=/dev/sdb4
Thanks,
Dekel

Maybe you have a some kind of conflict with old ATA drivers (ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support) and new libata drivers (Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers). Try to enable either one, and the other completely disabled. At least if you have both sections enabled, check that "Support for SATA (deprecated;)" is disabled in the old drivers section.

You didn't mention if you had or not, but do you have ext3 compiled into the kernel? Modules only get loaded after root is mounted (unless you set up a initrd). If it is not in the kernel that could be causing the panics.
I'm booting up now with just AHCI SATA and Jmicron PATA, as fxtl recommended.
This is the first time in a very long time I've been able to use gentoo-sources, I am usually dependent upon extra patches to support my hardware. Working great so far.

Ok, This: ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support is completely disabled.
I see that all 3 hard drives are detected in the kernel messages but I get kernel panic with the message: VFS: Cannot open root device "hdb" (Tried also sdb/sda you name it) or unknown-block(0,0)
I guess I dont have luck with this kernel... ;-(

Some random suggestions:
- try with the stable gentoo-2.6.19-r5 kernel
- /etc/fstab ok? And all the other config files in /etc that have hard drive device entries? |

I have it working with 2.6.20-gentoo already but with all the generic IDE stuff.

/etc/fstab has nothing to do with it I think... Its only taking action when the init system starts.. I am not sure what you mean by the config files in /etc with hard device entries...

I mean like lvm.conf (LVM), smartd.conf (smartmontools), at least those have /dev/hd/sd lines in them.
Very weird.. can't help you more, I have to go to bed, its late. |

This thread prompted me to clean up my kernel config. After removing some stuff I thought I didn't need, found out you need to have SCSI disk support, SCSI CD-ROM, and SCSI generic (don't know if 1 or two of those are actually needed, but when I removed all 3 I got the same kernel panic you are getting).

Cheers, I have an S3 and the jmicron has been giving me loads of trouble; either the cd drive worked, but the machine locked up every few minutes for a second, or it wasn't there at all. However now, fingers crossed, everything seems to be working properly  network and cdrom are finally happy happy. |

May I ask a favour?
I am looking for examples to try the method given in Greg Kroah-Hartman's "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell", Chapter 7 "Determining the Correct Module from Scratch". This method requires the PCI vendor id and device id for the device: output from as well asis needed.
Would somebody like to post these two items using a board that has figured in this topic?
In return, I will check the latest kernel source available which, at present, appears to be 2.6.20-git11 (there are no more recent mm patches than 2.6.20-rc6-mm3) for support for SATA, IDE and Ethernet controllers.
One or more of these worked examples (probably the successful ones ) will end up in Updated KC11

Nebvin, thank you for the lspci. If you update your pci.ids (run update-pciids â it has to be run as root because it writes into /usr/share/misc), you will find that the ATI devices become "Radeon X1950 Pro (Primary) (PCIE)" and "Radeon X1950 Pro (Secondary) (PCIE)".
A fully worked out example for | Code: | 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation SATA Controller AHCI (rev 02)
00:1f.2 0106: 8086:2821 (rev 02) |
Searching the list of vendor id's in the kernel to find what "8086" is coded as | Code: | grep -i 8086 /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/include/linux/pci_ids.h
#define PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL 0x8086 |
("grep -i" is used even though this is all digits as the hexadecimal digits a-f may appear as A-F) now to find the device id | Code: | | find /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11 -name \*.c | xargs grep -l INTEL |
which yields 121 files but, as the file we are interested in must be under "drivers/ata", it reduces to | Code: | /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/ahci.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/ata_piix.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/pata_mpiix.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/pata_oldpiix.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/pata_pdc202xx_old.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/sata_sil24.c
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/sata_vsc.c |
We are looking for a line in a table which is headed | Code: | | static const struct pci_device_id |
ahci.c has | Code: | | { PCI_VDEVICE(INTEL,0x2821), board_ahci_pi }, /* ICH8 */ |
ata_piix.c hasn't got it (this is older code, it doesn't have INTEL in the table but 0x8086); pata_mpiix.c, pata_oldpiix.c, pata_pdc202xx_old.c (only has Promise devices), sata_sil24.c and sata_sil24.c don't have it either. So the driver for this chipset is ahci.c.
The next step is to find the kernel configuration variable which causes this module to be compiled | Code: | find /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11 -name Makefile | xargs grep ahci
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_SATA_AHCI) += ahci.o |
shows the variable is CONFIG_SATA_AHCI: starting menuconfig and using Search to look for SATA_AHCI shows | Code: | Symbol: SATA_AHCI [=y]
Prompt: AHCI SATA support
Defined at drivers/ata/Kconfig:26
Depends on: ATA && PCI
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
-> ATA device support (ATA [=y]) |
Navigating to the screen following "Location" shows | Code: | | <*> AHCI SATA support |

Results in brief for | Code: | 04:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technologies, Inc. JMicron 20360/20363 AHCI Controller (rev 02)
04:00.0 0106: 197b:2363 (rev 02)

#define PCI_VENDOR_ID_JMICRON 0x197B |
Five files show up: /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/{ata/ahci,ata/pata_jmicron,ide/pci/generic,ide/pci/jmicron,pci/quirks}.c
ata/ahci.c: { PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, 0x2363), board_ahci_ign_iferr }, /* JMB363 */
ata/pata_jmicron.c: comment at the head of the file "JMicron ATA driver for non AHCI mode. This drives the PATA port of the controller. The SATA ports are driven by AHCI in the usual configuration"
In ata/pata_jmicron.c the entry in the table is | Code: | | { PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB363), 363}, |
and, going back to /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/include/linux/pci_ids.h | Code: | | #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB363 0x2363 |
ide/pci/jmicron.c | Code: | { PCI_VENDOR_ID_JMICRON, PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB363, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_A
NY_ID, 0, 0, 1}, |
From the above it looks as though ahci will drive the JMicron SATA chipset and pata_jmicron should be used to drive the JMicron IDE chipset. The configuration option for ahci has already been found, for pata_jmicron | Code: | find /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11 -name Makefile | xargs grep pata_jmicron
/usr/src/linux-2.6.20-git11/drivers/ata/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_PATA_JMICRON) += pata_jmicron.o |
and the CONFIG_PATA_JMICRON is set at | Code: | Prompt: JMicron PATA support
Location:
-> Device Drivers
-> Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) drivers
-> ATA device support (ATA [=y]) |
Just checking with 2.6.20-gentoo:
ata/ahci.c | Code: | { PCI_VDEVICE(INTEL, 0x2821), board_ahci_pi }, /* ICH8 */
{ PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, 0x2363), board_ahci_ign_iferr }, /* JMB363 */ |
ata/pata_jmicron.c | Code: | | { PCI_VDEVICE(JMICRON, PCI_DEVICE_ID_JMICRON_JMB363), 363}, |
net/sky2.c | Code: | | { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_MARVELL, 0x4362) }, /* 88E8053 */ |
So support is the same for 2.6.20-gentoo.
patch-2.6.20-git11 contains a large patch to ahci.c, a small tidying-up patch to pata_jmicron and a few new entries in sky2's pci_device_id table and quite a large patch.
