Subject: libata/ata_piix stuck in combined mode
Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2005 09:56:33 +0200 [thread overview]

Hi,
I'm running Sarge on a Dell PE 750, official Debian kernel 2.6.8-2-686,
with 2 SATA disks. The disk controller is an Intel ICH5.
Since I upgraded from kernel 2.4 to 2.6, the DMA disk access doesn't
work anymore, because libata and ata_piix goes in combined mode:
# grep -i ata /var/log/dmesg
BIOS-e820: 000000003ffc0000 - 000000003ffcfc00 (ACPI data)
Memory: 1031108k/1048320k available (1551k kernel code, 16284k reserved, 690k data, 148k init,
130816k highmem)
libata version 1.02 loaded.
ata_piix version 1.02
ata_piix: combined mode detected

I've read some posts here about disabling the PATA/SATA mixed mode in the BIOS; too bad there's no
such a switch in Dell servers.
I tried to disable the IDE cdrom in the BIOS, with no luck. Also kernel 2.6.12 from Knoppix 4.0.2
couldn't help.
Is there a way to force the ata_piix module out of combined mode?
Thanks in advance.
