promise tx2650 + ss1600 support

[Philippe De Muyter <phdm@macqel.be>]

Hello Mikael and list,

I am currently fighting with a Promise tx2650 raid controller + SuperSwap 1600
SATA-I/II enclosure on a linux 2.6.34.7 (opensuse 11.3) installation.

The installation seems to have detected a raid array :

	# cat /proc/partitions
	major minor  #blocks  name

	   8        0  244198584 sda
	   8        1          1 sda1
	   8        5     144585 sda5
	   8        6    4190208 sda6
	   8        7  238813184 sda7
	   8       16  244198584 sdb
	   8       17          1 sdb1
	   8       21     144585 sdb5
	   8       22    4190208 sdb6
	   8       23  238813184 sdb7
	 253        0  243164048 dm-0
	 253        1  243162112 dm-1
	 253        2     144585 dm-2
	 253        3    4190208 dm-3
	 253        4  238813184 dm-4
	# mount
	/dev/mapper/pdc_beaidahccb_part7 on / type ext4 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
	proc on /proc type proc (rw)
	sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
	debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
	devtmpfs on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
	tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,mode=1777)
	devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5)
	/dev/mapper/pdc_beaidahccb_part5 on /boot type ext4 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
	securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)

but I do not know how to see that it works.

Also the leds on the enclosure do not show activity or raid status.

I also wonder why the sata_promise driver is not used (not listed by lsmod)

lspci says :
	# lspci -v -s 02:00.0

Any suggestion ?

Thanks in advance

Philippe
