What's going on here?Looks totally corrupt. Functioning ITE firmware RAID produces a fairly poor response which is why we fix up the DMA flag but does report the volume size correctly. What firmware rev is this mess coming from ?
The firmware revision was 1.7.1.93 I have the capacity to boot with firmware version 1.41. I did this with the 2.6.20 kernel and hdparm --Istdout /dev/hde produced this: /dev/hde: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 2008 1301 1501 1701 0101 0005 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 496e 7465 6772 6174 6564 2054 6563 686e 6f6c 6f67 7920 4578 7072 6573 7320 496e 6320 2020 2020 2020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ffff 0fff 0000 0007 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 003f 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 9eae 12a1 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0003 3133 2121 9111 0091 3266 0021 0021 0001 0505 0005 0500 0000 0005 0005 0005 0040 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 Interpreted by hdparm --Istdin, the meaning is the same.
