[2.6.6] ICH5 SATA problems

[2.6.6] ICH5 SATA problems

[Jan De Luyck]

Hello List,

A friend of mine is trying to get both SATA and PATA working together on his Siemens box. The bios has a bunch of settings
concering sata/pata, being:
- SATA Standard (which is bootable by the bios). When this is selected, another setting is available
	* Sata 1/2 only
	* sata 1/2 + pata 3/4
	* pata 1/2 + sata 1/2

Unfortunately, linux doesn't seem to see this controller then. lspci output:

Another option is 'OS Only' for SATA, after which Linux is able to see the controller:

Is there a way to get both to work? Or will the box boot with the 'OS Only' selection? and only SATA disks in it?
The standard IDE controller is needed for some ATAPI devices.

Thanks.

   which kernel are you using and what are the sata related settings?

   I have intel D865PERL with same sata controller as your friend, using 
kernel 2.6.5, sata configured as scsi:

CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX=y

   I have both ide (/dev/hd[a-d]) and sata disks (/dev/sda1), all 
visible (two HDs on first ide controller, cd burner and dvd on second 
ide controller, HD on SATA)

   with 2.4.x kernels you might need some patches, the first 2.4.x 
kernel  I know supports SATA is 2.4.21-ac4, plus you (your friend) need 
libata5 patches for SATA disks over 137GB.

The kernel involved is 2.6.6 (as noted in the subject), vanilla.

Same configuration options are on.

He's going to insert 200gb maxtor drives - is this patch needed for 2.6.6 too?

Thx.

I've since then contacted Siemens on this issue, they tell me that with Sata 
Standard, the bios makes up the entire IDE system of what you select: 2 sata 
ports, or 2 sata + 2 pata ports. It can't support more than 4 ports and still 
boot from it.

If you want them all, first upgrade the bios to the latest version and put it 
on "OS Only".

Both work as a charm now.

Thanks anyway ;-)
