sata_via issue for VIA Epia SP8000 in 2.6.18[.1]?

sata_via issue for VIA Epia SP8000 in 2.6.18[.1]?

[Udo van den Heuvel]

Hello,

2.6.17.13 works OK on this VIA Epia SP8000.
(remember vaguely about some (PCI?) fixups to get things going)

Now I try to get 2.6.18.1 working. SATA is detected by this kernel but
disk gives timeout while 2.6.17.13 boots fine.

Some blurbs:

Links is up but  SStatus 113 SControl 300
qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
failed to IDENTIFY
This results in a kernel panic.

Any ideas?

2.6.17.13 gives stuff like this:

By changing quirks.c, quirk_via_irq to be mopre precise to

[...]
                        pci_name(dev), irq, new_irq);
                udelay(15);     /* unknown if delay really needed */
                pci_write_config_byte(dev, PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE, new_irq);
        }
}
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_ANY_ID, quirk_via_irq)
/*DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA,
PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_0, quirk_via_irq);

DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686_4,
quirk_via_irq);
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_ENABLE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_VIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686_5,
quirk_via_irq);*/

stuff starts booting again.
This issue has been there since 2.6,17.x. Please FIX!

Thanks,
Udo

Try this patch:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git-commits-head&m=116121959622812&q=raw

If that doesn't help, I guess you're seeing the same as

Works well on VIA Epia SP8000 (w/ SATA) and does not break EK8000 (just
PATA).
Thanks very much!

Kind regards,
Udo
