linnux 2.4.19-rc1 i845e ide not detected. dma doesn't work

[Nick Evgeniev]

Hi,

I wrote here about my problems with promise pdc controller in smp
configuration, and I was told that I'm using bad hardware (VIA chipset)
and blah-blah-blah...

Well, I've changed hardware to UP P4 box based on i845e chipset...
Now I've got the following messages on kernel boot, and of cause no DMA
on ide channels (even with hdparm):


Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31

ICH4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev f9

here is lspci output:

What should I do with my hardware? Through it away? round and around?!

Complain to your BIOS vendor

A workaround for this BIOS flaw will be in the -ac tree in a week or so

Or try this patch today:

This increases hdparm -t from 3MB/sec to 41MB/sec.

Hi Gunther,

That is a nice start to enable the HBA; however, the issue needs to add
full loading of the BARS.  Regardless of the old kludge to only load the
buffered resource values in the kernel, they were never committed to the
hardware.  This is one of the classic cases where Linux diverges from the
direction MicroSoft has pushed hardware to go under the rules of WHQL, and
ends up sucking wind.

The real need is to add in clean Native/Compatablity mode and not leave it
in voodoo land as we (me also) in the past have done.

Cheers,

Hi,

    Why are you so assure? It's "msi 845e Max" with LAN on-board mb with
_latest_ BIOS installed....
Just FYI 2.4.18 was even unable to run eepro100 driver on it while intels
e100 driver was working perfectly.

Could this be related to the pci id clash I pointed out last week?
That id was for an intel IDE device iirc.

(Recap: Two id's don't tally between 2.4/2.5)

No it has everything to do with determining if the HBA is in compatablity
or native mode and if the device is properly enabled.

Well, anyway, 2.4.19-pre10-ac2 works for me :)

Does it work in 2.5 ?

I don't know. Actually, I'm trying to setup "production" environment :)) &
i845e (or i845pe) is the only one solution (I don't want to try via+promise
anymore)
