This change made into the kernel in commit 9a3b103c...  Today, I
tested a SIS968 board whose lspci -nn output looks like the following.

  00:00.0 Host bridge [Class 0600]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 671MX [1039:0671]

And the AHCI controller 1039:1185 @ 00:05.0 works just fine with
regular devices and PMPs.  Can you please post lspci -nn output on
your machine?  It seems the blacklisting was too wide.

Thanks.

Tested a bit more and the problem doesn't seem to be PMP support itself.
 Command issue doesn't work properly if follow up SRST is issued without
clearing SError after issuing hardreset.  2.6.26 always clears SError
after hardreset so it should work.  Piter, can you please remove SIS
blacklist and test 2.6.26?

Thanks.

OK.

That is the lspci-nn output:

00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 671MX [1039:0671]
00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS AGP Port (virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge) [1039:0003]
00:02.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS968 [MuTIOL Media IO] [1039:0968] (rev 01)
00:02.5 IDE interface [0101]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] [1039:5513] (rev 01)
00:03.0 USB Controller [0c03]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.1 Controller [1039:7001] (rev 0f)
00:03.1 USB Controller [0c03]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.1 Controller [1039:7001] (rev 0f)
00:03.3 USB Controller [0c03]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller [1039:7002]
00:04.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [1039:0191] (rev 02)
00:05.0 SATA controller [0106]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AHCI IDE Controller (0106) [1039:1185] (rev 03)
00:0f.0 Audio device [0403]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Azalia Audio Controller [1039:7502]
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter [1039:6351] (rev 10)

The main differences that i can see are the internal SiS video chip and
the "SiS AGP Port".

Hope it can help

Removed 1039:1185 from blacklist; PMP is active and all is working
fine. You can remove the 1039:1185 from pmp blacklist (and probably
the other two cards there...).

Need dmesg or other additional information?

Thanks!
