Hi - I'm having problems getting a Sil 3124 card with a PCI-Express 1x interface to work, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=641878 Here is the card: http://www.era-adapter.com/pciexpress-1x-to-4-ports-sata-ii-adapter-p-60.html I hope this is an appropriate place to report this. I've tried both the Fedora 12 (2.6.32.21) and Fedora 14 beta install kernel (2.6.35), running x86-64. I just get timeouts when booting with two drives attached: Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: scsi7 : sata_sil24 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: scsi6 : pata_jmicron Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: scsi8 : sata_sil24 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: scsi9 : sata_sil24 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: scsi11 : sata_sil24 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata9: SATA max UDMA/100 host m128@0xe2388000 port 0xe2380000 irq 18 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata10: SATA max UDMA/100 host m128@0xe2388000 port 0xe2382000 irq 18 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: SATA max UDMA/100 host m128@0xe2388000 port 0xe2384000 irq 18 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: SATA max UDMA/100 host m128@0xe2388000 port 0xe2386000 irq 18 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: scsi10 : pata_jmicron Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata7: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xd040 ctl 0xd030 bmdma 0xd000 irq 19 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata8: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xd020 ctl 0xd010 bmdma 0xd008 irq 19 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata7.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorpCD/DVDW SH-S162A, TS01, max UDMA/33 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata7.00: configured for UDMA/33 Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata9: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 0) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata10: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 0) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: softreset failed (SRST command error) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: reset failed (errno=-5), retrying in 8 secs Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: softreset failed (SRST command error) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: reset failed (errno=-5), retrying in 8 secs Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: softreset failed (SRST command error) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: reset failed (errno=-5), retrying in 33 secs Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: softreset failed (SRST command error) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata11: reset failed, giving up Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: softreset failed (SRST command error) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: reset failed (errno=-5), retrying in 8 secs Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: softreset failed (SRST command error) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: reset failed (errno=-5), retrying in 8 secs Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: softreset failed (SRST command error) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: reset failed (errno=-5), retrying in 33 secs Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: softreset failed (SRST command error) Oct 11 12:47:29 xpc12 kernel: ata12: reset failed, giving up This is what lspci reports for the card and its PCIex to PCI-X bridge: 03:00.0 PCI bridge: PLX Technology, Inc.

I haven't configured any RAID on the device. Any ideas?
