Re: sata_promise: which version/patch to test?

Hi Tomi,

Thanks for the reply :-)
I don't know if this would be possible for you, but I think it would be interesting to see what would happen if you swapped the SATA cable on one of your problem drives with one which is ok. In my system (four identical drives) I have the feeling the problem is only on two of the ports (the exact ports changed when the port enumeration patch went into the kernel - it used to be sd[cd] and now it is sda and maybe sdb - haven't tested that much yet).
If you try this - and the problem moves with the drive, then it must be drive related and not the ports/driver. 

Maybe we could collect some more information here:

Best regards,

Peter

Hello,


I have tried exchanging SATA cables, but still have the problem with
sata_promise using 2.6.21-git16.


Unfortunately, I don't have any solution for you but I wanted to let you
know that you are not alone with this problem. I'm still running
with 2.6.21-rc3-git10 based kernel with promise_sata_1.5Gps.patch
and promise_enumeration.patch patches due to the fact that anything newer
just doesn't work at all (the system drops interface speeds to almost zero
due to  errors as reported previosly on this list). My current (old)
kernel with patches still reports the following errors whenever there is
more load on the system, but at least the promise sata300tx4 card &
seagate 7200.10 disks do work (not well, but anyway):

I still don't understand why on earth the above errors get logged only for
the newer Seagate 7200.10 disks and never for the older 7200.7 disks.
