Hey all,
I have a motherboard (ECS K7VTA3 V3.1) with onboard RAID
from promise using the chip PDC20265R. I bought two Maxtor
DiamondMax 80Gb identical drives. I am booting off of a
already functional gentoo linux system using a 46Gb disk
on ide0. hda is the 46Gb, hdb is a 1.6Gb, hdc is a cdrom,
hdd is a cdrw, hde is 80Gb#1, hdg is 80Gb#2.
When booting with the drives hooked up and the disks in a
RAID0 container the kernel only gets this far and then hangs
forever:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:11.1. Please try using pci=biosirq.
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
VP_IDE: VIA vt8233a (rev 00) IDE UDMA133 controller on pci00:11.1
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd800-0xd807, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd808-0xd80f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
PDC20265: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 78
PDC20265: chipset revision 2
PDC20265: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
PDC20265: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary MASTER Mode Secondary MASTER Mode.
ide2: BM-DMA at 0xd400-0xd407, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
ide3: BM-DMA at 0xd408-0xd40f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
The next part should be the actual drive assignments, but it
never gets that far. I downloaded the archives for this list
and sifted through them, but didnt see anyone with my chipset
that actuall hung at this part. I also followed the directions
from www.murty.net/ataraid/ and got the same results.
Some additional info:
- Kernel:

- (The kernel line is all on one line in my grub.conf, I split
it up for easier reading in this email).
- /proc/pci:

If anyone has any suggestions as to what I may be doing wrong,
please enlighten me. Thanks!
