Promise PDC20375 (SATA150 TX2plus) doesn't work with last kernels.

Promise PDC20375 (SATA150 TX2plus) doesn't work with last kernels.

[Jean-Baptiste BUTET]

Hi all, and sorry if I made mistakes here, it's my first post... and I
really think about it before posting :) I'm scared ;)

-> I have a fresh Mandriva 2007 install (2.6.17) and have installed a
2.6.18.1 vanilla in order to test with a no-heavily patched kernel.

My pb : I have a
00:09.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20375
(SATA150 TX2plus) (rev 02) that worked (under kubuntu) and here
doesn't work with new install.

I've a 160 Gb IDE disk on it. (My mother card don't accept such huge
disk without this card)

Here some infos.

Really good job for all you've made all you're doing.

So, I've investigated to see why UBUNTU Dapper see my IDE disk and why
newer kernels doesn't. There's some big changes in dmesg : a
sata_promise PATA port is found. Or it's on this port IDE disk is
plugged.

Is there any PATA support broken in new sata_promise/libata stuff ? Is
there any good kernel configuration in order to make it works?

Thanks a lot.

Ubuntu kernel includes support for PATA ports on promise controllers but 
it isn't included in mainline kernel yet.  Proper implementation 
requires a new feature in libata which is currently being worked on. 
So, please be patient.

Thanks.

It's not broken, it's just not included yet.

There is a patch somewhere out there, which could fix your issue.
Just to give it a name, it's something like:

linux-2.6-sata-promise-pata-ports.patch

I patched a 2.6.18.1 and didn't run into any troubles with it with
lots of i/o. So, i take it as "works for me". But Jeff knows when it's
the right time to push that. :-)

Greets,
