 Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 10:08 pm Post subject: BIOS reports 4 drives, gentoo-2.6.17-r7 recognises only 2 |
 |
|
On my Gigabyte GA 965 DS3 motherboard i have 4 SATA devices connected: 3 SAMSUNG SP2504C discs (IDE-Channel 0 - 3 Master) and a SATA DVD Burner as IDE channel 4 Master.)
The BIOS reports all devices, but not the kernel. All are connected to the 4 ports provided by the ICH8R.
Here the dmesg output

I don't think there's anything wrong, it's just that the 2.6.17 kernel doesn't have support for ICH8/AHCI (see http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#ahci which says it will be in 2.6.18 ).
In Experimental release (GentooCD with JMicron-supp.) kernelOfTruth has used no-sources 2.6.18-rc4-no2 to get round the problem.
The situation is, however, "fluid", kernelOfTruth says in another thread | Quote: | tried every 2.6.18-rc*-mm* release so far and
mm-sources 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 is the only working for me ! <<== you should give it a try 
somehow 2.6.18-rc4-mm3 made it worse again |

Update:
i tried with the 2006.0 livecd. It has kernel 2.6.15-r5. Depending on the BIOS setting for the SATA ports 0-3 there are different results: If the setting is "native mode", then this kernel recognises /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc (my 3 Samsung SP2504C SATA discs) and the SATA DVD burner is /dev/sdd & /dev/sr0. If the setting is "legacy mode" then i get /dev/hda, /dev/hdc and /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, where /dev/sdb is the DVD burner. Strange !
I expect the problem in kernel 2.6.17

I've come across "legacy mode" turning /dev/sda into /dev/hda but your result is bewitched!
| Quote: | | I expect the problem in kernel 2.6.17 |
I believe ICH8/AHCI is new: as in your .config, there is an AHCI setting but perhaps it is not a complete solution.
[Edit] Just looking at the latest mm patch, 2.6.18-rc6-mm2, and in drivers/ata/ahci.c it has the following additions | Code: | + { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x2821, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0,
+ board_ahci }, /* ICH8 */
+ { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x2822, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0,
+ board_ahci }, /* ICH8 */
+ { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x2824, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0,
+ board_ahci }, /* ICH8 */
+ { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x2829, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0,
+ board_ahci }, /* ICH8M */
+ { PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x282a, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0,
+ board_ahci }, /* ICH8M */ |
If you run lspci, you will probably get "unknown device" on the Intel ICH8 lines, do any of the hex numbers in the table match?
In the latest prepatch for the stable Linux kernel tree, 2.6.18-rc7, there are no new ICH8 SATA additions but, kernelOfTruth will be glad to know, the JMicron stuff is there.

Update 2:
With vanilla-sources-2.6.17-rc6 I get different results depending on BIOS setting for "SATA ports 0-3":
- native mode: devices /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc and /dev/sr0 for the DVD burner. But GRUB can't boot anymore (kernel panic ...)
- legacy mode: devices /dev/hda /dev/hdc /dev/dsa and /dev/sr0 for the DVD burner. GRUB continues with root (root=/dev/hda6)
Anyway, I can continue building the RAID5. I wonder what will happen with the RAID when I can convince GRUB too boot with BIOS setting "native mode"  |

as sbd mentioned before there is no support before 2.6.18 for ich8, so you have to use a few tricks
following commandline for kernel got me working:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 root=/dev/md0 irqpoll all-generic-ide vmalloc=192m
now after the first two options i had all 4 drives detected on gigabyte ds3 + cdrom connected to jmicron
vmalloc is for problems with mounting filesystems, possibly related to ich8 as well (or maybe just using softraid? would be nice to know if sbd had explanation), without i could not mount more than first 2-3 partitions... nevertheless if they were xfs or reiserfs.
anyway, enjoy!  |
