I cannot find any relevant information on the net (I've been google'ing for several days now) to my problem, whatsoever. If this is a very wrong place to ask my question, I do apologize; and please point me to the right forum for this kind of questions. The problem is as following: When doing "modprobe sata_sx4", it shows up with: root@fp:/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi# modprobe sata_sx4 /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre3/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_sx4.o: init_module: N= o such device /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre3/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_sx4.o: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre3/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_sx4.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre3/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_sx4.o failed /lib/modules/2.4.28-pre3/kernel/drivers/scsi/sata_sx4.o: insmod sata_sx= 4 failed When looking at DMESG I can see this output (and the usual stuff that fills the entire screen): libata version 1.02 loaded. sata_sx4 version 0.50 Detect Local DIMM Fail I have tried the following kernels with the EXACT same results: 2.4.27 2.4.28-pre3 (patches applied to 2.4.27 and libata patches) 2.6.8.1 2.6.9-rc2 The configuration of my Promise S150 SX4 controller is: 2 200GB disks, each in JBOD (single disk) mode. My hardware is as following (briefly): HP Netserver LH3, Intel 440BX chipset 512MB RAM NetRaid3 RAID SCSI controller (AMI MegaRAID chipset) HighPoint ATA controller (HPT366/368/370/370A/372 (rev 03)) Promise S150 SX4 SATA controller equipped with 64MB ECC RAM (Controller has no complaints in POST booting process) Onboard PIIX4 IDE controller This server only has 1 CPU so I configured my kernel without SMP suppor= t (I have tried with SMP support enabled just to check). As distro I am using Slackware 10. To mention; I have tried EVERY possible kombination of the IDE controller cards. I've disabled the onboard, I have removed the HighPoint controller, I have swapped PCI slots, changed memory on SX4 controller. I am out of options :( If more verbose output/information is needed, just speak up and I will provide it. I would very much like to have my controller working. In advance; thanks for your help!
