Just to let you know something important:
Hotpluging on EZ_RAID (SIL-4723)
Quote: | Sollution:
No sollution jet
Warning:
DONT, DO not even think about doing this. That damn SIL-4723 sucks in storage mode
and rendes a drive completely useless when you hotplug it once or twice.
Comment:
See here for the bugreport: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9010

That damn SIL-4723 sucks ass, it's such a buggy piece of ....
I even doupt that it can be worked around. But we will see if Tejun can fix it... he's a real magician! _________________ -->Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved.

Hey,
I have ASUS P5K mobo and I'm still trying to install Gentoo on it. I already ran into the "failed to IDENTIFY" problem because 2007.0 CD has 2.6.19 kernel. But not during kernel boot, but around 70h after the system has started. Very strange to me...
Anyway, I have other problem with the mobo and I want to ask if any of you has ran into a similar problem:
My mobo can't reboot... When I enter BIOS, change some settings and choose "Save & Exit", the computer turns off for about 3-5s, then the power comes back on (I can hear the fans), but the screen is black, there's no POST, power LED is off. I can press the power button to cut the power, turn it on again, and the same happens. I have to pull out the power cable and put it back in to turn the computer on again. The same happens when I do a soft reset (Ctrl+Alt+Del). When I use the reset button though, everything's fine. What's that?? Bad BIOS (I have the latest), something's wrong with the hardware?
Thanks,
Mike |

Strange, but is solved with new kernel.

Wich BIOS version do you run? But I never heard about such a problem.

I have 0603 BIOS version that was published on 07/03/07. On some other forums I found that this may be due to invalid RAM timing settings. What do you think?

Load setup deafults! Or safe settings and see what happens.
But RAM and PWU can cause weird things _________________ -->Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved.

So, hotpluging on EZ_RAID (SIL-4723) - it really isn't a good idea.
I accidently did it (cable came loose, and I reconnected it without thinking) and the drive seems to be completely screwed.
This is the result trying to mount afterwards (although it does show up fdisk apparently without any problems):

Oh dear, I didn't realise it was this bad... I thought it was data loss that would happen - it completely destroys the drive, even the BIOS sees it as BAD now.
Is there any kind of resolution for this or have I really just lost my 500 GB disk?
Cheers. |

possible shortage on the drive from bad hotplug.
i would RMA it and if you can possibly get the drive recognize on another board, then use testdisk to see if you can recover the data of it, or use dd. eitherway, the main board manufacturer should be at fault not you. but that's to be expected for using such a crappy sata controller like SILICON IMAGE. what sucks even more is that the other controller on this board is a JMicron which is no better or worst than the SIL one and the way they split the ICH7R to the forth sata connector on the SLI. Well i hope you get your data back. |

Go for RMA. The controller can't destroy a drive. So there must be some other defect on the drives interface which lead to shortage or any other physical event. And this is deffinetely the vendors fault. Just RMA it with "Drive died when hotpluged" or without any given reason. (by the way, what vendor, what drive?)
You replied to my bug on kernel bugzilla, would you please attache your dmsg output of the event and provide some more information so the devs can look into it. Theun Hejo is on this, and every information he can get will help us to get rid of the bug, or to simply deaktivcate hotplugging, if it's not fixable, just to prevent data corruption. Thanks http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9010
I recommended Tejun do add warnings, or to completely disable hotplugging on that crap if that crap is not fixable and he agreed. So lets give him as much help as we can as simple users.
So I call at everyone watching this thread to test and comment on the bugs I have opened.
If someone doesn't dare to post on the kernel bugzilla, post it here and I'll forward it.
Or if someone has found another bug, let me know.
regards

From the dmsg log, your drive seems to be detected at least. So try to connect it to a ICH7 port. Dump all the data with dd. and create a new partition table (cfdisk -z /dev/sd?) AND never ever, in no case, attache the drive to the SIL (except you want to Tejun to track down the bug) _________________ -->Please add [solved] to the initial post's subject line if you feel your problem is resolved.

Full ACK... we lost a nice ICH7 port for two crapy SIL ports.
After fixing the JMicron kerneldriver it works for me... (I just tested it with a PATA CD-R drive) But I never tried the eSATA port or the internel SATA port.
Could someone check and report if that stuff works?

Hi thanks for your replies,
I've added some more info in the kernel bug report as was asked, and yeah I'll get an RMA underway unless some answer turns up in here or in the bug report
The disk is a Western Digital 500 GB (WD5000KS-00MNB0), around 1.5 years old.
I will try and dd the disk on and ICH7 port later, but will leave it on the SIL for now in case Tejun asks for more info (I don't want to move it around in case it makes it even worse...). |

Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 9:44 pm Post subject: acpi_cpufreq |
|
|
Hi, I have been reading through this list looking for anyone having cpufreq problems with this motherboard. I've been runing kernel 2.6.22-r9 with kernel config settings:
Code: | # CPU Frequency scaling
#
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=y
#
# CPUFreq processor drivers
#
CONFIG_X86_POWERNOW_K8=y
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO=m
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=m |
When i load the acpi_cpufreq module I get this in dmesg
Code: | ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports 8 throttling states)
ACPI: Processor [CPU2] (supports 8 throttling states)
ACPI Exception (processor_core-0781): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20070126]
ACPI Exception (processor_core-0781): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [20070126] |
Has anyone got this working with this motherboard? Should I expect it to work? If so, what did you do to get it going, what kernel config settings and BIOS version do you use?
Thankyou. |

works here with bios version 2403
you might need to get a working bios
some bios-versions don't work with speedstep

I did just recently update my BIOS to version 2406 in an attempt to get it going, which is later than the one you have. So it shouldn't be BIOS.
Can you show me your kernel config for cpufreq related stuff? |
