Subject: SATA: "unknown partition table" error, fdisk can't fix, works in 2.6.13
Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 15:11:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <451D7DE8.8020504@freescale.com> (raw)
I have a SATA drive attached to a PowerPC 8349E board, using the SIL 3114 controller. I'm running the latest code from Paul Mackerras (PowerPC maintainer) (2.6.18-blabla).
I'm experiencing a number of I/O errors with the SATA drive. fdisk can see the partition table, but when I issue the "w" command, I get this output:
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
SCSI device sda: 321672960 512-byte hdwr sectors (164697 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
sda: unknown partition table

Syncing disks.
I cannot mount any partitions. On boot, I see this:

The odd thing is that this works in 2.6.13, so something is broken. I don't know if it's a bug in the sata_sil driver, or a configuration issue. Can anyone help?
