Hi, I've got a VIA SATA/PATA PCI RAID card installed in a MIPS box, which obviously doesn't run the BIOS on the card. When booting these messages appear.... PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:0a.3 (0000 -> 0003) sata_via 0000:00:0a.3: routed to hard irq line 9 scsi0 : sata_via scsi1 : sata_via scsi2 : sata_via ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 port i16@0x1890 bmdma 0x1860 irq 9 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 port i16@0x18a0 bmdma 0x1868 irq 9 ata3: PATA max UDMA/133 port i16@0x18b0 bmdma 0x1870 irq 9 ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 8C8C8C8C SControl 8C8C8C8C) ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 8C8C8C8C SControl 8C8C8C8C) ata3: port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x8c) ata3: device not ready (errno=-16), forcing hardreset Now, the 8C8C8C8C is suspicious because the card hasn't had the BIOS executed, so something isn't getting initialized. As it's the same for even the PATA port with 0x8c. Any ideas ?
