Subject: Using PATA port from Promise SATA 300 TX2 plus
Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2006 13:42:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060219124258.GH4858@mueller_michael.de> (raw)

Hi Jeff,

I want to tell you that I was able to use the two SATA ports and the
PATA port from my Promise SATA 300 TX2 plus under linux 2.6.16-rc1 and
your patch 2.6.16-rc1-libata1.patch.bz2. The only problem I had that
it didn't worked when I compiled it into the kernel. It didn't find
neither the SATA drives nor the PATA drive. After creating the module
everything worked fine without any further changes.

I'm booting from a hard drive (120GB) connected to the IDE controller
on the mainboard.
Here are some lines from syslog:

sda and sdb are the SATA discs and sdc is the PATA drive.

I'm using software RAID and LVM2 on top of this.

Can you point me to some informations how to tune the TCQ parameter?

I'm not on the list. So if you reply please CC me.

Thanks for your work!

Regards

Michael
