Hello everyone. I'm just wondering what the status is for the Silicon Image 3512a serial ata support is. I was using gentoo-sources 2.6.12 my Seagate drives worked fine. I'm now running a gentoo-sources 2.6.15-r1 and support has broken. The same thing with gentoo-sources 2.6.17-r8. I've added my drives to the sata_sil.c black list (one of them was missing) but I still get "Abnormal status 0x58 on port ..." errors. Which essentially crashes my machine. Unfortunately I don't have the 2.6.12 kernel from Gentoo any more as I did a emerge --sync and it got rid of it. Also some of the other drivers I'm using need more recent kernel versions. Just some notes on my MB/chipsets. I've got a Gigabyte GA-7N400Pro2 with an nForce2 chipset. It has a on board SATA which the manual says is a Sil3112 but the bios reports it as a Sil3512a. I've got a single 6 gig IDE as my boot device and root dir. There are also two SATA drives both are Seagates. One is a ST3250823AS (250 gigs) and a ST3120026AS (120 gigs). I know the Seagate drives have some issues and hence the black list. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to make these things work in some of the latest kernels. Thanks for you help. -- Stephen Atkins - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
