Hi, I use the ASI ARAID99 2000 connected with Sil3124 pci card. However, the Linux driver (sata_sil24.c) cannot finish phy_reset. The dmesg is displayed as follows: ======== ata1: SRST failed, disabling port ======== and ... ======== sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 sata_sil24: interrupt form disabled port 0 irq XX: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) ======== This problem is fixed by this patch; the span of loop in sil24_issue_SRST() is too short to reset non-native hard drive like my RAID subsystem. *** drivers/scsi/sata_sil24.c._orig_ 2006-03-02 07:37:27.000000000 +0900 --- drivers/scsi/sata_sil24.c 2006-03-05 21:22:44.000000000 +0900 *************** *** 452,458 **** writel((u32)paddr, port + PORT_CMD_ACTIVATE); ! for (cnt = 0; cnt < 100; cnt++) { irq_stat = readl(port + PORT_IRQ_STAT); writel(irq_stat, port + PORT_IRQ_STAT); /* clear irq */ --- 493,499 ---- writel((u32)paddr, port + PORT_CMD_ACTIVATE); ! for (cnt = 0; cnt < 1000; cnt++) { irq_stat = readl(port + PORT_IRQ_STAT); writel(irq_stat, port + PORT_IRQ_STAT); /* clear irq */ *************** *** 460,466 **** if (irq_stat & (PORT_IRQ_COMPLETE | PORT_IRQ_ERROR)) break; ! msleep(1); } /* restore IRQs */ --- 501,507 ---- if (irq_stat & (PORT_IRQ_COMPLETE | PORT_IRQ_ERROR)) break; ! msleep(10); } /* restore IRQs */ == Chisato Yamauchi ================================= - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
