[BUG] 2.6.21.1: ide-pci is not finding ide controller.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I've got a rather old x86 box that I'm booting 2.6.21.1 on;
this kernel is not finding an ide controller on it. 

The motherboard has 4 ide controllers total; two olde-fashioned
ones (PIIX4, using the original 40-pin IDE ribbon cable) and two 
"HighPoint HPT366" controllers, taking the 80-pin cable. 
BIOS allows the two olde-fashioned channels to be enabled
or disabled; but the HPT seems to alaways be on (I could not
find any BIOS entry to play with them.)

A bit of debugging localized the symptoms to drivers/ide/setup-pci.c
It seems that there was some recent ide-pci fix that changed/fixed
the way that pci config space is read' this "fix" breaks my recognition
of my controller.  I made a lame attempt to google for pci ide config
space, but could not find any specs, and so can quite figure out what's
wrong. Details below.

First, a debugging patch; I can boot with this patch, because it
disables the case that fails.

Now, for some output. I applied this patch to 2.6.19 (which boots fine)
and to 2.6.21.1, so that behaviour can be compared. First, te 2.6.21

For comparison, an older 2.6.19 kernel.

                      Why lookit! The older kernels got all zeros 
                      for ths test ... but the result is that the
                      if statements pass, and the controller is
                      recognized!  I guess someone "fixed" this,
                      breaking my system.
