The sata_dwc_probe() function prints several things (one using dev_notice()), for instance this: /* Read the ID and Version Registers */ idr = in_le32(&hsdev->sata_dwc_regs->idr); versionr = in_le32(&hsdev->sata_dwc_regs->versionr); dev_notice(&ofdev->dev, "id %d, controller version %c.%c%c\n", idr, ver[0], ver[1], ver[2]); The dw_dma_probe() function also prints a line: dev_info(chip->dev, "DesignWare DMA Controller, %d channels\n", pdata->nr_channels); These messages are nowhere to be seen in your log, nor are numerous others that really must appear before before sata_dwc_qc_prep_by_tag() can be called. I'd like to note that the driver works on my Sigma Designs based system using a different DMA controller, so it's not completely broken. The DMA driver could still be faulty, but that still doesn't explain the missing kernel messages. -- Måns Rullgård -- 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
