Hi to everybody!I just got a WD caviar blue, with the classic IDE interface and tried to connect it to my debian squeeze pc which already has a WD SATA device, where the OS lives.
The problem is that 2.6.32-3 does not recognize the disk and although I'm not an expert, I tend to think that it is a kernel bug. I booted with 2.6.30-2-686 and it sees the disk:
[ 1.560374] hda: WDC WD3200AAJB-56R1A0, ATA DISK drive About the IDE controller, here's what lspci -v says: on both 2.6.30 and 2.6.32 :00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc SB600 IDE (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP]) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H Motherboard Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16 I/O ports at 01f0 [size=8] I/O ports at 03f4 [size=1] I/O ports at 0170 [size=8] I/O ports at 0374 [size=1] I/O ports at f900 [size=16] Kernel driver in use: ATIIXP_IDE The only differences between lspci -v for 2.6.30 and 2.6.32 are the following:
# diff 2.6.30-2-lspci 2.6.32-3-lspci 23c23 < Kernel driver in use: pcieport-driver --- > Kernel driver in use: pcieport 38c38 < Kernel driver in use: pcieport-driver --- > Kernel driver in use: pcieport 95d94 < Kernel driver in use: piix4_smbus where the pcieport differences refer to00:02.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RD790 PCI to PCI bridge (external gfx0 port A) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
and00:0a.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RD790 PCI to PCI bridge (PCI express gpp port F) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
The lshw utility shows almost perfect match between 2.6.30 and 2.6.32 with the difference that under the ide section which is identical in both kernels:

configuration: mode=udma5 signature=08040000 smart=on bit strange, isn't it? Any ideas?As well as that, I can't report it via reportbug, because with: reportbug linux-image-2.6.32-3-686
I always get Querying Debian BTS for reports on linux-2.6 (source)... Unable to connect to Debian BTS; continue [y|N|?]? after a couple of minutes... Giorgos
