I can add 2G to existing 4G of RAM > and post dmesg. Srihari's system which couldn't do 64bit DMA was ASUS M2A-VM. I'm including the result of lspci below. Shane verified 64bit works on a configuration which has SB600 and different bridge, RS690, but Shane's test result wasn't perfect either. AHCI triggers SERR_INTERNAL if quirk_disable_all_msi is not used. quirk_disable_all_msi removes the problem but specifying "pci=nomsi" doesn't. It's unknown whether the difference between Srihari's and Shane's is on the AHCI controller itself (different revisions?) or stemming from the differences in the rest of the system (host/pci bridges). The test results point to varied kinds and degrees of problems. At the moment. To avoid turning off anything fancy on systems involving SB600/700, we definitely need more info. Shane, can you please summarize chipset product lines and revisions and how they're configured together (e.g. SB600 Axx goes together with RSxxx kind of stuff)? Currently the following issues have been discovered and we need to find out what's caused by which. * MSI doesn't work at all. Possibly host or PCI bridge issue. Should be worked around by quirk_disable_all_msi. Shane has verified some systems do have this problem. It's still not clear which configurations have the problem and in such configurations which part. Currently quirk is applied if the system contains RS400_200 or RS480 (these are host bridges, right?). * Disabling INTx disables MSI too. Should be worked around with quirk_msi_intx_disable_bug. This one seems to be mostly taken care of. New revs of SB700 and all SB800s will have this fixed and Shane recently submitted patch to apply quirk to only affected machines. Let's wait and see if anything blows. * 64bit DMA doesn't work. Should be worked around by adding AHCI_HFLAG_32BIT_ONLY in ahci driver. Srihari's system showed failures firmly pointing to this problem. Shane tested different system with SB600 and 64bit DMA itself seemed to work although there were some issues. As written above, it's unclear what causes the difference. * Shane's test with RS690 + SB600 triggered a weird SERR_INTERNAL error condition if pci=nomsi is used insted of quirk_disable_all_msi. This is super-weird. Maybe difference in memory layout and 64bit DMA acutally didn't work? Shane, can you please do some data write/read/verify test on the setup?
