2.6.14 + SATAII150 TX2Plus does not recognize

[Yanggun]

Hi,

i am currently using linux kernel version 2.6.14 on x86 with Promise
SATAII150 TX2Plus(250G SATA HDD Disk x 2).

But, SATA HDD disk does not become. program execute result of "fdisk
/dev/sda" is  "Unable to read /dev/sda".

Work well in linux kernel version 2.6.13.2.

Do not act below since change as result that do debugging.
       "[SCSI] use scatter lists for all block pc requests and
simplify hw handlers"
       -  http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=392160335c798bbe94ab3aae6ea0c85d32b81bbc

What should I do?

Test Enviroment
--------------
Kernel version: 2.6.14
SATA Controller: Promise SATAII150 TX2Plus
SATA HDD: Western Digital 250G x 2
SATA Driver: http://www.promise.com/support/download/download2_eng.asp?productID=126&category=all&os=100#

Your controller is probably supported by sata_promise driver included in 
the kernel.  Just use the standard driver.

thanks.

but sata_promise driver not seem to support hot-swap. As following
message is said, it becomes block. Even if use irqpoll option, result
is same.

I want to use hot-swap.

Yeap, the standard doesn't support hot-swap yet.  I think either you 
gotta stay with 2.6.13 for the time being or wait for promise to update 
their driver.
