RE: PROMISE Ultra133 TX2 (PDC20269)

In the catalog there is described that the drive can use UDMA66 Mode

Maybe someone can step in if I am wrong, but I believe the drive cannot
use that mode.

There could also be multi-mode/issues.

Try hdparm -c3 -d1 -u1 -X68 /dev/hde

If that does not work, I am not sure if the drive will support that
mode.

For reference, I have a 61.4GB (MAXTOR) on a promise card, and it uses
the following mode in use:

Capabilities:
        LBA, IORDY(can be disabled)
        bytes avail on r/w long: 57     Queue depth: 1
        Standby timer values: spec'd by Standard, no device specific
minimum
        R/W multiple sector transfer: Max = 16  Current = 0
        Advanced power management level: unknown setting (0x0000)
        Recommended acoustic management value: 192, current value: 254
        DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 *udma4
             Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns
        PIO: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
             Cycle time: no flow control=120ns  IORDY flow control=120ns

And a 40GB:

Capabilities:
        LBA, IORDY(can be disabled)
        bytes avail on r/w long: 40     Queue depth: 32
        Standby timer values: spec'd by Standard, no device specific
minimum
        R/W multiple sector transfer: Max = 16  Current = 16
        Advanced power management level: unknown setting (0x0000)
        Recommended acoustic management value: 128, current value: 254
        DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 *udma4
             Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns
        PIO: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4
             Cycle time: no flow control=240ns  IORDY flow control=120ns

My guess is either:

1) The drive does not support it.
2) There is a multi-mode issue with DMA/the disk.
   See the following kernel option:

Device Drivers  --->
ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support  --->
<*>     Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support
[*]       Use multi-mode by default    

The help states:

Use multi-mode by default 
If you get this error, try to say Y here:                               
hda: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }        
hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

  If in doubt, say N.

 


I normally say Y here.

The dmesg after hdparm command is

--snip--

hde: set_drive_speed_status: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete
DataRequest }ide: failed opcode was 100
hde: dma_intr: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
hde: CHECK for good STATUS

--snap--

What does that mean?
