 |
|
Got one at best buy for 40$ to add another HDD and DVD drive
On initial hardware install, without any kernel changes, grub handled it fine, but once it got to the kernel it was detected before my onboard ide and ended up with hda, hdb, hdc and hdd, while my onboard got e,f,g and h...
Init was not found ... panic ensues.
The fix/cure for that is 'ide=reverse' in my kernel command line for grub. Everything boots fine at this point.
The kernel detects both drives, they are at hde and hdf, but
no udma on my harddrive ... hdparm gives me 2MB/sec
So I go into /usr/src/linux and find some CMD stuff (the card has a CMD680 chipset... not to be confused with the CMD640 chip). Putting in
| Code: |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD64X=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD680=y
|
upon reboot with my new kernel I get UDMA100 right away...
but hdf (the dvd rom) is garbled

I've checked linuxata, and the vendor sites... along with some hits on lkml mentioning the chipset, but no real solution.
so... any help with getting udma and both drives working would be great.
(also... i really dont wanna split the drives on diff ide channels...
ive got plenty of cable already)

So now I'll find the patch for em and see about applying to my linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r10 with all the good stuff like preempt and lowlatency.

|
|
I couldn't get the IDE patch as whole or just siimage.[ch] to apply to 2.4.19-gentoo-r10... altho i am not much of kernel hacker.
So I found these kernel's that have support currently:
2.4.21-pre4-ac2
2.5.63
2.4.20-2.48 (redhat's)
2.4.21_pre5-gss
with -gss being the best patched (has lowlatency, gcc31 compile opts, prempt among others)
the jiffies patch applies cleanly to -gss ... giving a nice performer with SiI compatiblity.
Hope someone else finds it helpful.

I honestly dont know whats goin on here for me... but maybe someone can give me some ideas. I have an ATA 133 SIIG card its a v2.0. umm, as you can see, its working ok now...it doesnt support the proper udma modes for my drives tho, which are ata133. anyway...
I am using The CMD680 drivers in the latest kernel from gentoo sources. and everything starts booting up fine, untill it trys to mount the root partition. it fails saying to specify a valid root= option. which is set to /dev/hde4, which is what my root partition really is. i have the proper fs drivers installed... i dunno... its crazy... i dont know whats the deal. anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

You need specfic SiImage drivers, not just generic CMD680. Try gs-sources... they are the most up-to-date/patched and still support this card. For the future, siimage is in 2.5 and will be in 2.6, so eventually we will have a gentoo-sources with support.
| Code: |
ATA/IDE/MFM/RLL support --->
IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block devices --->
[*] PCI IDE chipset support
<*> Silicon Image chipset support

try putting "ide=reverse" as part of your grub kernel options,
for instance I have:
| Code: |
title=Gentoo Linux 1.4 (2.4.21_pre5-gss)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage-030304-2.4.21_pre5-gss ide=reverse root=/dev/hda4 hdd=ide-scsi
