Well, I feel foolish.
One problem is that the prebuilt kernel is using an initrd
image, so I made your patch changes, and put them into
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_sil.ko,
and guess what, they never got loaded. Foolishness on my
part.
Anyway, this time I got to the single boot prompt, where I did
a 'rmmod sata_sil', and a 'modprobe sata_sil', and I know
it loaded the new version, because you can see the 'sata_sil
0000:02:0b.0: version 2.2b', which I put in
to verify what the heck is going on.
This machine is pretty slow to compile the kernel, which is
why I was trying to short cut the build/install some, but I might try to
build the kernel on a faster machine and see if
I can get the initrd image rebuilt also.
This one is good enough, thanks. It seems the controller is raising
spurious SATA_IRQ. I wonder why. You're using a SATA-PATA bridge,
right? What chip are you using?
Yes, I am. It's a SD-ADSAIDE-S1, with a
sil3611ct80 chip on board.
My question would be, what makes the 2.6.22 kernel different enough
than the 2.6.18 kernel that this setup is causing problems in .22.
Is .18 masking the problems, or is .22 just looking at things with
tighter tolerences, so it's more sensitive?
