*** Bug 232656 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Should be fixed in next release. Just out of curiousity, what was the cause of the bug? (and also, when can we expect the next release...) Thanks To satisfy this kind of curiosity is what the Fedora CVS is for. ;-) The problem was that support for PATA ports on Promise mixed SATA/PATA controllers has still not made it upstream for 2.6.20, and the patch which was in Fedora's 2.6.19 kernels was lost during the rebase, now this has been applied: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/kernel/FC-6/linux-2.6-sata-promise-pata-ports.patch?rev=1.7&view=markup (Thanks!) Could this 'exceptional' treatment for the Promise mixed SATA/PATA controllers also explain the bug report I originally submitted back in November regarding the fact that the 'dmraid' section in the rc.sysinit script doesn't properly set up partitions of disks mounted on the PATA part of the controller (see bug # 216078 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216078) Given that these Promise controllers are effectively already using libata even for PATA, any dmraid problems with them are likely to be closely related to problems with dmraid in F7 (which uses libata for _all_ PATA drives), so anything done there to fix this problem will probably also help with yours, if it's ever backported. Any idea when the next fixed kernel version will be released into the 'updates' repo... I am eager to use some of the other fixes in the 2.4.20 kernel but can't until this Promise FastTrak issue is resolved. Thanks Well, you can try 2932, which is up at: http://people.redhat.com/cebbert/kernels/ In fact, that's what I'm going to do right now. :-) I can confirm that kernel-2.6.20-1.2932.fc6 works here. When will the kernel be moved over to updates? (because I use several 3rd party kernel modules that won't be re-compiled until the kernel moves over to updates). Thanks! *** Bug 232547 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Description of problem: The new kernel-2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 doesn't recognize the PATA disk attached to my sata_promise SATA/PATA controller (in non-RAID PATA mode). This is a regression from kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6, where it is detected as /dev/sda. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find a motherboard with a dual-mode SATA/PATA Promise RAID controller. 2. Set the controller to normal IDE mode (no RAID) and attach a PATA drive. (In my case, this is out of necessity because I have 5 IDE/PATA devices: 3 HDDs, a DVD-ROM and a DVD writer, and the regular IDE controller can only handle 4 of them.) 3. Enter at least one of its partitions in /etc/fstab. 4. Try booting kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6, this works. 5. Try booting kernel-2.6.20-1.2925.fc6. Actual results: The boot stops with an error during the fsck phase because the disk is not found. Expected results: The kernel boots successfully like the previous version.
