hi,
I have a Promise SATA 300 TX2plus card in my linux server (2 SATA ports, 1
PATA port).
The 2.6.14 (archck7) kernel would not recognize the card, so I used lspci to
find the device ID and I made the following change to sata_promise.c
--- drivers/scsi/sata_promise.c.ORIG 2005-12-28 22:38:27.000000000 -0800
+++ drivers/scsi/sata_promise.c 2005-12-28 22:33:24.000000000 -0800

After this change, the kernel started recognizing the card, and I could
access the drives that I had attached to this machine viz. one SATA hard
disk (sda) and one PATA hard disk (sdb).

With the 2.6.15 kernel (archck2, vanilla), I don't need to add the device ID
to the file
sata_promise.c cos it already contains it. The kernel still locates the card
correctly,
but I have access only to the SATA disk. I don't have access to the PATA
disk. I looked
at the newer sata_promise.c and I could see that some PATA functionality has
been removed so I thought it best to post a message. I googled for answers
but didn't find any. If this issue has already been resolved, or PATA on
TX2plus should be accesssed using some other config option, a link would be
appreciated. I am not on the mailing list, so please include my email in
your replies.
Let me know if you need any other information.
thanks,
Ranjeet.
PS: I've attached the grepped output from the dmesgs for the 2 kernel
versions.
