From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: A PATA disk connected to the middle connector of a promise SATA 150 TX2 PLUS controller card is not recognised by the kernel. It will not show in DMESG. Kernel tested: Linux version 2.6.5-1.315 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.obvious 2. 3. Actual Results: disk not recognised Expected Results: disk should show... Additional info:
FC2 test3. It appears that the driver is only looking for standard SATA ports and not the PATA port. I noticed: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2004-03/6344.html Has there been work on this? http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/old/2.6.5-rc3-libata2.log I noticed: "remove incorrect PATA port check" Although I've never done any kernel driver work, I'm willing to do whatever it takes if you can give me some pointers, or to test changes. I know how to build custom kernels with module changes. See also: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2376
I tested the 2.6.6-rc3 kernel and this bug still occurs. If you want to write patches on that kernel, I'm willing to test them.
still a problem with the 2.6.9 based errata kernel ?
I tried the 2.6.9-1.6_FC2. Still a problem.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
