 Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2003 6:33 am Post subject: Installing IDE PCI Controller |
 |
|
I just got a new IDE controller card a SIIG UltraATA 133 PCI card. On the box it says it supports linux. I've installed it and hardware all seems to be good, as it shows on bootup. I had a new hard drive hooked up to it (one of the Western Digitals with 8MB cache and 3 year warranty). However, I have no /dev/hde.
I recompiled the kernel with all the IDE chipsets I could enabled. There were someones at the bottom that I couldn't in xconfig. No luck.
I went to www.siig.com and they make no mention of how to installing linux. Google didn't hit.
However, I put in my trusty Red Hat 8.0 cd started the boot and it found hde. I even started to partition it with disk druid (except disk druid wants to put my swap at the back of the drive, good luck with that).
I pulled out the card, but there was a sticker over the chip so I couldn't see the chipset.
I guess one option would be to installed Redhat on the new drive to see which modules it loads for it. But that is a pain.
cat /proc/pci gives | Code: | SCSI storage controller: Artop Electronic Corp ATP865 (rev 2).
IRQ 11.
Master Capable. Latency=254. Min Gnt=11.Max Lat=4.
I/O at 0xdc00 [0xdc07].
I/O at 0xe000 [0xe003].
I/O at 0xe400 [0xe407].
I/O at 0xe800 [0xe803].
I/O at 0xec00 [0xec0f].

Any ideas? I know it can work since it works in Red Hat, so if anyone knows help me out.

That fixed it, except I had to hand patch it since it wouldn't patch. The big worry will be whether the livecd 1.4 will support it. How would I request that?

| BTW, you need to create a simlink to your source directory called, umm...linux-2.4.18-wolk-3.8rc2 I believe it is. That's where the patch looks for the files. |

Just in case anyone has this card it is still not supported in 2.4.20. The patch will not go directly against 2.4.20. I have hand patched a mostly ck3 with alsa if anyone is interested pm me.
