BHW this update solve problem whith SMP on my dual xeon mb

I. Before update:
1. Mouse & kb dose't work with SMP kernel;
2. Instead 4 (HT) processors with SMP kernel sytem recognize only 2;
3. Some problem with sata_sil driver for SATALink + HITACHI SATA
(HDS722516VLSA80) devices:
# hdparm -tT /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   2288 MB in  2.00 seconds = 1142.46 MB/sec
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for
device
 Timing buffered disk reads:  176 MB in  3.02 seconds =  58.34 MB/sec
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(null) (wait for flush complete) failed: Inappropriate ioctl for
device

# hdparm -i /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
 HDIO_GET_IDENTITY failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

II. After bios update: Only 1 & 2 problems solved. Change SATA conroller
mode(swith beetwen base & raid mode) coul'd not help.
 
III. In RH9 all ok with old bios version & old driver(kernel module) sii6512.

Comment 3 Soslan Khubetosv 2005-02-24 20:39:50 EST

Adding HDS722516VLSA80 in sata_sil.c blacklist (with quirk SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE)
doesn't help... Only speed decreased to 28.34 MB/sec approximately...

Problem went away with the 2.6.11 based kernels.
