Kernel 2.6.18 claims to provide PATA support for sata_promise according
to the changelog. However, 2.6.18 does not properly load the IDE disks
that are attached to an onboard raid-controller Promise PDC200378 (aka
Fastrak 378 or Fastrak S150 TX4) which resides on an MSI 865PE-NEO FISR2
motherboard as a "south bridge" for a maximum of two IDE disks and two
SATA disks. I configured the BIOS for two IDE disks and RAID1 or as SATA
and no change. The errors from sata_promise seen in the dmesg file as
error messages (attached):
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8802200 ctl 0xF8802238 bmdma 0x0 irq 11
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF8802280 ctl 0xF88022B8 bmdma 0x0 irq 11
scsi2 : sata_promise
ata1: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
scsi3 : sata_promise
ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)

Which changelog? I assure you (a) PATA support for sata_promise is not
in 2.6.18, and (b) it implies nothing of the sort in the official kernel
changelog on ftp.kernel.org.

Thanks Jeff for a quick response. Well, it is only because
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.18 mentions
the following:
Author: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
Date: Wed May 24 01:43:25 2006 -0400
[libata sata_promise] Add PATA cable detection.
Original patch from Phillip Jordan <phillip.m.jordan@gmail.com>
Cleanups and fixes by me.
Does this mean something other than that sata_promise actually provides
support for PATA or how should I interpret this? Also, with respect to
the error messages in my previous messages, could you please advise me
about my options? (e.g., wait for a new kernel, etc.)?
Thanks,
Theo
