Using ata_piix on a Fujitsu laptop with an ICH4-M and a HD on the first channel and a DVD/CDRW drive on the second channel, I see this: ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x1F0 ctl 0x3F6 bmdma 0x1810 irq 14 ata2: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0x1818 irq 15 scsi0 : ata_piix ata1.00: ATA-6, max UDMA/100, 156301488 sectors: LBA ata1.00: ata1: dev 0 multi count 16 ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 scsi1 : ata_piix ata2.00: ATAPI, max UDMA/33 ata2.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1) ata2.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs ata2.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1) ata2.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs ata2.01: qc timeout (cmd 0xa1) ata2.01: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_mask=0x4) ata2: failed to recover some devices, retrying in 5 secs ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33 scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA FUJITSU MHT2080A 0022 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 SCSI device sda: 156301488 512-byte hdwr sectors (80026 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back SCSI device sda: 156301488 512-byte hdwr sectors (80026 MB) sda: Write Protect is off sda: Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back sda: sda1 sda2 < sda5 > sda3 sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda scsi 1:0:0:0: CD-ROM MATSHITA UJDA755 DVD/CDRW 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 The timeout/retry periods add an extra minute or two to kernel boot process. This did not occur with 2.6.17 + Alan's PATA patches (although I did see a single message about dev 1 failing to IDENTIFY with that). -- Kevin 'radsaq' Radloff radsaq@xxxxxxxxx http://thesaq.com/ - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
