Description of problem: I have an ASUS K8U-X motherboard, with ULi 1689 chipset. It seems that there is no driver for the ULi M5289 SATA controller. In the following page, there is a download for 1689 on Linux kernel 2.6.x: http://www.uli.com.tw/eng/support/drivers.php or directly: ftp://www.uli.com.tw/driver/Linux_K2.6.x_Integrated132.zip In the "SATA_Raid/SCSI_RAID_Driver" folder there are drivers only for Fedora 2/3, Red Hat 9 and SuSE 9.0/9.2. I tried the drivers for Fedora 2 and 3, but didn't work. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- How reproducible: Every time ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steps to Reproduce: from the readme.txt in SATA_Raid/SCSI_RAID_Driver/fedora3/64bit/fc3-64driver: 1. Start the RHEL 64-bit Installation with CD-ROM booting; 2. At the first installation screen, a prompt labeled "boot:" will appear at the bottom of the screen; 3. Please append parameters (linux dd) at the "boot:" prompt, then press the Enter key; 4. At the "driver disks" dialog box, press "YES"; 5. Next, if "Driver Disk Source" dialog box appears, select "fd0" and press "OK"; 6. At the "Insert Driver disk" dialog box, insert your raid driver disk into floppy drive and press "OK" to continue; 7. If the system shows "Error" dialog box, press "Manually choose" and scroll down at "Select Device Driver to Load", dialog box to select ULi 5281 Raid Controller (ALiRaid),then press "OK". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual results: the SATA driver is not loaded; can't start the disk partitioning; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected results: the SATA driver should be loaded; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional info: Sorry, I've select dmraid component, but it should be 'sata_uli' or something else.
We've included the latest version of the Sata drivers for U5. So i would hope that this bug is resolved. A test kernel with this patch is available from http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/. However, if the box is not installed we might have to wait until the beta when and .iso is available for testing.
QE ack for RHEL4.5.
