From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: On a abit bp6 with primary/secondary onboard ide (hda-d), hpt366 (disabled) and a promise ultra66/ataraid controller, roswell sees only drives on the first ide header (/dev/hde) and not on the second (/dev/hdg). The drives are not raided by the promise card. The kernel sees them with redhat 7.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install appropriate hardware 2.boot system 3.count ide drives and corresponding device nodes Actual Results: you don't see the drives on the second promise ultra66/ataraid header. Expected Results: You should see these (/dev/hdg /dev/hdh) Additional info:
Indeed the kernel should see them. Could you please try the 2.4.7-2.18 kernel at http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/testkernels/ (kernels are in the i686 and athlon directories and the mkinitrd in the i386 directory)
I have tried this with the test kernel, with no success. Here is the relevant (?) info from /var/log/dmesg. [root@grant217 root]# grep "hd[e|g]" /var/log/dmesg ide2: BM-DMA at 0xac00-0xac07, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio ide3: BM-DMA at 0xbc00-0xbc07, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio hde: Maxtor 92041U4, ATA DISK drive hde: 40020624 sectors (20491 MB) w/512KiB Cache, CHS=39703/16/63, UDMA(66) hde: [PTBL] [2491/255/63] hde1 hde2 (read) hde2's sb offset: 19518848 [events: 0000000e] md: considering hde2 ... md: adding hde2 ... md: bind<hde2,1> md: running: <hde2> md: hde2's event counter: 0000000e md: unbind<hde2,0> md: export_rdev(hde2) [root@grant217 root]# fdisk /dev/hdg Unable to open /dev/hdg
Can you paste the output of both "lspci" and "lspci -n" so I can see which exact promise controller this is ?
Here's lspci and lspci -n thanks, John [root@grant217 root]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX Host bridge (rev 03 ) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440BX/ZX - 82443BX/ZX AGP bridge (rev 03) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!

That fixed it - thanks! jl
Ok I'll close this as fixed in rawhide; should appear there soon
