can you resurrect your cached PCS patch?
2.6.18-rc didn't fix the ghost device and long boot delay problems
for everybody.
The cached PCS patch was to fix device detection failure on some
ICH5s where PCS is cleared while probing the first port. Remaining
ghost device and long boot delay are fixed by honor-PCS patch. Do
you want me to resurrect both?
hrm. Maybe just honor-PCS?
Yeap, we need to verify whether the less-jealous-PCS-update patch
cured the ICH5 problem.
If you are talking about the patch currently in 2.6.18-rc, I got
several ACKs that it fixed their problems.
But OTOH, there was also
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=115346292700002&r=1&w=2
I was talking about bugzilla bug #6724.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6724
It was a weird case of ICH5 clearing PCS present bits while the first
port is being probed. The clearing happens during actual probe, that
is, the bits look okay till the end of the first prereset() but on entry
to prereset() for the second port, enabled bits are gone. IIRC,
bug#6724 is different from all other reports.
I asked the reporter to test 2.6.18-rc4 and see whether the problem is
gone with new PCS handling. I'm a bit skeptical about the result. If
the problem remains with 2.6.18-rc4, we'll need that cached PCS to solve
that particular case.
BTW, do you know what Keith Owen's chipset was?
(Keith CC'd)
I didn't see lspci output, but it looks like ICH5 from his drivers/ide
dmesg output.
Did you look at some of the other messages? He provided some debug
traces in follow-up messages.
