2.4.27-rc3 sata ICH5R

2.4.27-rc3 sata ICH5R

[Ian Leonard]

Hi,

I have an motherboard with an Intel 82801EB. The documentation claims it 
has an Intel ICH5R sata interface.

With the previous kernel version I tried, it locked up when probing the 
disks on boot. 2.4.27-rc3 boots but gives many errors on /dev/hdg. These 
look something like:

hdg: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

According to what I have read, this should be supported and should be 
using /dev/hd? rather than /dev/sd?. Is this correct?

TIA.

Incorrect, SATA is /dev/sd?.

Thanks Jeff,

Clearly there is something wrong. I can't access the device using 
/dev/sda .. /dev/sdh. I have scsi support as modules (sd_mod, scsi_mod) 
and have enabled CONFIG_SCSI_SATA. /proc/scsi/scsi reports no adaptors 
present.

Also why do I get the mass of errors on /dev/hdg at boot time?

Thanks.
