Yeap, I saw that and lifted MWDMA programming from pata_ali. That's how I got the identical PCI configuration area but still no go. >> with the IDE alim15x3 driver while any DMA data transfer on pata_ali >> times out. > >> At first I thought this was simple timing programming error, but no. >> pata_ali's mode programming wasn't wrong although it was different in >> how it programs empty slots.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work for libata. >> Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Pavilion ze4400 builtin IDE >> [103c:0024] >> Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- >> ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- >> Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- >> <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- >> Latency: 32 (500ns min, 1000ns max) >> Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 0 > > Interrupt not routed... well, we're in legacy mode anyway with native > mode not supported, so why the device is requesting interrupt at all is > not clear. And it's the same story for IDE and libata. Also, the UDMA hard drive connected to the primary channel works just fine. I watched how BMDMA status and TF status changes after ATAPI DMA is initiated and it's not IRQ problem. DMA engine just doesn't sits there doing nothing even after the device indicates DRQ! >> Region 0: [virtual] Memory at 000001f0 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) >> [disabled] [size=8] >> Region 1: [virtual] Memory at 000003f0 (type 3, non-prefetchable) >> [disabled] [size=1] >> Region 2: [virtual] Memory at 00000170 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) >> [disabled] [size=8] >> Region 3: [virtual] Memory at 00000370 (type 3, non-prefetchable) >> [disabled] [size=1] > > What?! The minimum PCI resource size is 4 bytes, not 1. And why those > are seen as memory resources? Those are from Alan's PCI resource fix up so that legacy and native modes look alike. It's weird that they show up as memory tho. Okay, that looks like a bug in lspci.
