Promise SATA300 TX2plus TX4 kernel panic! :?

Message

Tobey · Post by **Tobey** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 5:06 am

I happily got a new Promise SATA300 which has 2 SATA and a IDE port which was suposed to add functionality to my aging P3, but which I try to plug the old drives to the new controller, it wouldn't boot properly. It detects my drives properly according to the card's BIOS and even shows the grub fine, with splashscreen and all, but once it tries to find "/dev/hda3" it fails.

Code: Select all

ACPI: (Supports S0 S1 S4bios S5)
VFS: Cannot open root device "hda3" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)

Help anyone?

Hi

I recently bought a promise sata 300 tx4 and have some troubles with it too, in my case the controller is not even recognized by the kernel (although the controller bios starts up correctly and lists the connected sata hd) I thought that the controller is broken and brought it back to the shop, right now I am waiting for replacement.. but I am wondering if anyone out there is using these cards withought any problems..

Tobey,

That's because the IDE port is seen like a scsi port. Also your disk will be called sda !!!
I have myself a SATAII150 TX2Plus. You need to add "scsi disk support" and "SATA support" (Promise SATA TX2/TX4) in your kernel and tell grub to use sda3 as root partition (root=sda3)

In the .config file you will find:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
#
# SCSI device support
#
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS=y
#
# SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
#
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
#
# SCSI low-level drivers
#
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_PROMISE=y

Promise raid is done by the card BIOS and is most like a "software" raid. Don't waste your time to make Promise native driver working under 2.6 kernel (it's a 2.4 kernel driver and source doesn't compiled well, i didn't get it work at all but i'm not a reference

. Use instead linux software raid modules for that job.

I tried to enable every Promise and RAID related thing and all it says is:

Does something show up in dmesg ? Does the driver see the controller ?

BlueCove,

Compile a new kernel with sata and sata Promise drivers in it and verify your dmesg. It needs to look like above.
To know how the device is named by the kernel, look for /dev/sdx in the /dev tree.

You could emerge lspci tool too.

There are some restrictions with Promise cards. They doesn't support old ATA disks. Check if the disks are well seen during the POST. CDROM drives and Co are not supported ! Leave them on your built-in ATA motherboard device.

I have the similar Promise SATA300 TX4 adapter which uses the same chipset and it works nicely out of the box with mm-sources 2.6.14_rc2-r2
it uses the sata_promise.ko module

ohm314 · Post by **ohm314** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 9:26 pm

Hi

I dont know if there is still someone having problems with his promise sata controller. I found out that the newer promise controllers have a chip that is not recognized by the sata_promise module (at least not for kernels <= 2.6.13). I managed to fix this by adding one line into the modules source.
If someone is interested, tell me, so I post the info (its on my other computer and I am too lazy to boot it right now

I have just run into this problem. Any information you have would be much appreciated.

HackingM2 · Post by **HackingM2** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 9:23 pm

Ok, I've found the (obvious) solution but I'll post it here for anyone who is in the same position.

Install a 2.6.14 kernel and copy drivers/scsi/sata_promse.c from there to your current kernel sources.

Took me too long to figure that out.

For anyone who is interested it works because the new version of sata_promise.c contains the following line

{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_PROMISE, 0x3d17, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, board_20319 },

there are other similar lines so it is obvious where to put it if you fancy doing it by hand rather than grabbing a set of kernel sources for one line.

vt_guy · Post by **vt_guy** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 11:20 am

Hi, I have this same card and tried the update to sata_promise.c mentioned in the previous post.

Code: Select all

{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_PROMISE, 0x3d17, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, board_20319 },

My lspci:

Code: Select all

0000:00:09.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20718 (SATA 300 TX4) (rev 02)

Looks good but nothing is showing up in dmesg or udev.

Perhaps my board is slightly different?
How would I know the exact string to put in sata_promise.c?
Or am I even on the right track here?

Post by **dsd** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 2:31 pm

easiest way is to upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.6.14 (or even one of the late 2.6.13 gentoo-sources releases) which support this hardware out of the box.

otherwise, after you modify and recompile the kernel, take a note of the date and time.

then reboot into the modified kernel image and run "uname -v" - it will give the date and time that the running kernel was compiled. check that this matches the note that you made earlier...

vt_guy · Post by **vt_guy** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 10:15 pm

Sorry, should have mentioned I'm using 2.6.13-r5 which still did not have that particular line in sata_promise.c . So I should try 2.6.14-r1 ~x86? I'm just skeptical whether I'm on the right path here.

Post by **dsd** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 11:07 pm

oops, yeah, the patch wasnt included in gentoo-2.6.13 (i was getting confused with another promise ID patch)
yes, 2.6.14-r1 will do fine

Unless you want to use extenal modules like ivtv, btxxx lirc, etc......

vt_guy · Post by **vt_guy** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:27 am

Whoops, never mind....

i missed the fact that the cards need to be listed in order in this case:

{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_PROMISE, 0x3d17, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, board_20319 },

Needs to come before the existing line for that card with 0x3d18 in it...

Hi I have a promise TX2 and I've tried everything that has been mentioned above I am running a 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 kernel the line in sata_promise.c looks the same, I have sata enabled under SCSI and Promise TX2/TX4 both built into the kernel and still no /dev/sd* just /dev/hda-d. Here is my lspci

Code: Select all

00:0b.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC40775 (SATA 300 TX2plus) (rev 02)

my dmesg shows no sata info any help would be much apreciated

Post by **dsd** » Mon Nov 21, 2005 2:13 pm

please show us the output of "grep SATA_PROMISE /usr/src/linux/.config"

run "uname -v".

mentally check that the date outputted matches the date and time that you last modified your kernel config -- this time should correspond to the date/time that you added promise sata support to your kernel.
