Dear sata-promise maintainers and others,


I wanted you to know the following:

I have a MSI K8T Neo VIA k8T800 based board with an athlon 64, this=20
board has 3 disk-controllers on board:

1: 0000:00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VIA VT6420=20
SATA RAID Controller (rev 80)
2: 0000:00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc.=20
VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)=20
(prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP])
3: 0000:00:0d.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20378=20
(FastTrak 378/SATA 378) (rev 02)

The 3'rd I assume should be used in conjunction with the sata_promise=20
driver (am I correct? It shows up in the logs as ata3 & ata4). So far,=20
so good.

Now the problem (I would greatly appreciate help here...), this=20
controller has 2 sata ports AND one 'normal' U133DMA ide port. To this=20
port, I connected a working (works in other systems...) IBM-IDE drive=20
(U133); but this disk never shows up; the bios DOES detect it just fine=
=2E

How could I make this disk visible? Where to start looking in the=20
driver? I am using kernel 2.6.12.3.


Please CC me, because I am not on the list,

thanks in advance,


regards,

Jaap Crezee

Serial ATA RAID

=95 Promise 20378 On-Board
=95 Supports 2 serial ATA plus 1 ATA133
- RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 is supported
- RAID function work w/ATA133+SATA H/D or 2SATA H/D
=95 Connect up to 2 SATA device and 2 ATA133 devices

So it 'could' work I guess...
