-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Jeff & linux-ide ppl, I've tried to load this driver after installing openfiler distribution (kernel 2.6.26.8-1.0.11.smp.gcc3.4.x86.i686), but it complains about xfermode and does not export any drive to /dev. I've tried JBOD and RAID5 on promise Ctrl-F boot utility so far. Which mode should I enable on the controller to make it work even without hardware acceleration, which I know it's unsupported right now. Drop me a line if any of you wish to do some testing on it, this machine is not in production right now. Thanks ! Roman PD: Here's the ticket I opened on openfiler, if you want further details: https://project.openfiler.com/tracker/ticket/880 And here's a relevant dmesg output: ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:0c.0 disabled libata version 3.00 loaded. sata_sx4 0000:02:0c.0: version 0.12 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:0c.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20 Local DIMM ECC Enabled scsi4 : sata_sx4 scsi5 : sata_sx4 scsi6 : sata_sx4 scsi7 : sata_sx4 ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio m1048576@0xfea00000 dimm m32768@0xfe9f8000 port 0xfea00200 irq 20 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio m1048576@0xfea00000 dimm m32768@0xfe9f8000 port 0xfea00280 irq 20 ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio m1048576@0xfea00000 dimm m32768@0xfe9f8000 port 0xfea00300 irq 20 ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio m1048576@0xfea00000 dimm m32768@0xfe9f8000 port 0xfea00380 irq 20 ata1.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata1.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata1.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata1.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata1.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata1.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata1.00: limiting speed to UDMA/133:PIO3 ata1.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata1.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata1.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata1.00: disabled ata2.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata2.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata2.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata2.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata2.00: limiting speed to UDMA/133:PIO3 ata2.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata2.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata2.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata2.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata2.00: disabled ata3.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata3.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata3.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata3.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata3.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata3.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata3.00: limiting speed to UDMA/133:PIO3 ata3.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata3.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata3.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata3.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata3.00: disabled ata4.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata4.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata4.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata4.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata4.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata4.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata4.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata4.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata4.00: limiting speed to UDMA/133:PIO3 ata4.00: ATA-7: ST3400832AS, 3.01, max UDMA/133 ata4.00: 781422768 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata4.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) ata4.00: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4) ata4.00: disabled ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:0c.0 disabled # lspci 02:0c.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc.
