SIlicon Image Controller 3512A or Seagate Barracuda ST3160827AS Issue

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

 



Hello Jeff,

I've tried a few recent Kernels (incl 2.6.23.14) attempting to have my
SATA Raid configuration detected to no avail.  My SATA drives are not
on your blacklist in sata_sil.c so I decided to contact you to see if
I am missing something or can offer a testbed to get this resolved.

I have found a kernel forum posting from you back in 2004 relating to
an issue with a slightly different Sil controller but the same drives.
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0412.0/0535.html
You refer to updates in firmware resolving Raid-related issues but I
cannot find any updates beyond my current v3.42 for these drives.  Nor
were there an newer Mobo firmwares beyond "FK" which I have installed.

I'd be grateful for any pointers and would be very interested in
assisting where I can in providing information if possible.

I have attached some general information regarding my setup.

Regards,

Tony Mugan.
