Hi, I have an asus-p5q pro m/b with two controllers: first, intel ich10 with 6 sata ports and 2 connected drives: 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller Kernel driver in use: ahci Kernel modules: ahci second, marvell chip with 2 sata ports and 1 ide slot. 03:00.0 IDE interface: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SE6121 SATA II Controller (rev b2) Kernel driver in use: ahci Kernel modules: ide-pci-generic, pata_marvell, ahci, pata_acpi, ata_generic the ich10 part works fine and detects my disks, but the marvell part doesn't see my dvd writer connected to the ide slot. the marvell bios detects dvd correctlly, so it looks like a bug in pata_marvell module. here's fragment of dmesg: [ 0.316653] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 0.317159] ata1.00: ATA-7: WDC WD1600YD-01NVB1, 10.02E01, max UDMA/133 [ 0.317191] ata1.00: 321672960 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 1) [ 0.463303] ata1.00: configured for UDMA/133 [ 0.369983] ata2: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 0.379975] ata2.00: ATA-7: WDC WD1600YD-01NVB1, 10.02E01, max UDMA/133 [ 0.379975] ata2.00: 321672960 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 1) [ 0.733285] ata2.00: configured for UDMA/133 [ 0.413314] ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) [ 0.456644] ata4: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) [ 0.509975] ata5: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) [ 0.553304] ata6: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) [ 0.383308] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA WDC WD1600YD-01N 10.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 0.383308] scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA WDC WD1600YD-01N 10.0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 0.383308] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 0.383308] ahci 0000:03:00.0: controller can't do NCQ, turning off CAP_NCQ [ 0.383308] ahci 0000:03:00.0: MV_AHCI HACK: port_map 7 -> 3 [ 0.403330] ahci 0000:03:00.0: AHCI 0001.0000 32 slots 3 ports 3 Gbps 0x3 impl IDE mode [ 0.403367] ahci 0000:03:00.0: flags: 64bit stag led pmp slum part [ 0.403401] PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:03:00.0 to 64 [ 0.403543] scsi6 : ahci [ 0.403697] scsi7 : ahci [ 0.403846] scsi8 : ahci [ 0.403935] ata7: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xfeaffc00 port 0xfeaffd00 irq 16 [ 0.403970] ata8: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m1024@0xfeaffc00 port 0xfeaffd80 irq 16 [ 0.404003] ata9: DUMMY [ 0.519980] ata7: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) [ 0.563310] ata8: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300) i'm using the 2.6.25.16 modularized kernel. i can provide more info for debugging purposes if you want. thanks in advance, pawel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
