Hello, I'm working on making a "Buffalo Terastation Pro" Hardware runs a 2.6 kernel (the stock kernel is a 2.4 one). This hardware includes a powerpc 603e (running @ 266MHz) and two SATA SIL3512 controllers (as the device runs 4 drives) ... At startup it's getting some problems with the controler, but i'm not able to understand what can be wrong ... I tried with a 2.6.18.2 kernel and a 2.6.19-rc5 kernel, and I have the same problem with both versions ... Here is the "interesting" part of the kernel log (2.6.19-rc5 log): Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx sata_sil 0000:00:0c.0: cache line size not set.

Driver may not function", I was able to force PCI cache function but it doesn't change anything ... I've also tried to compile the kernel with a gcc v4.1.2 with no change ! I really hope someone could help ... You can find complete boot logs for 2.6.18.2 & 2.6.19-rc5 here : http://forum.linkstationwiki.net/index.php?action=vthread&forum=15&topic=1302&page=1#msg17099 Thanks, Sylver ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
