Yes but everybody point to a source patch that you should compile in the
kernel. But to do so you first need to install Linux in some way !
The Ultra-DMA Mini-HOWTO
(http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOTTO/mini/Ultra-DMA.html)
explains how to first install the kernel by passing ide arguments
(obtained by doing a "cat /proc/pci" at boot time) directly to it. However they
don't describe the specific hpt366 chipset which information comes in two
sections not in one, as in the Promise 33 example:
RAID bus interface: Promise Technology Unknown device (rev 1).
Vendor id=105a. Device id=4d33.
Medium devsel. IRQ 12. Master Capable. Latency=32.
I/O at 0xe000. (a)
I/O at 0xd804. (b)
I/O at 0xd400. (c)
I/O at 0xd004. (d)
I/O at 0xc800. (e)
and pass "ide2=a,b+2 ide3=c,d+2" as a command line parameter to the kernel.
Promise 33 exemple would work with the command line:
# linux ide2=0xe000,0xd86 ide3=0xd400,0xd006
However with the HPT366 chipset the information goes as follows:
Bus 0, device 19, function 0:
Unknown mass storage controller: Triones Technologies, Inc. Unknown device (rev 1)
Vendor id= 1103. Device id=4
Medium devsel. IRQ 11. Master Capable. Latency=120. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=8.
I/O at 0xb000 [0xb001].
I/O at 0xb400 [0xb401].
I/O at 0xb800 [0xb801].
Bus 0, device 19, function 1:
Unknown mass storage controller: Triones Technologies, Inc. Unknown device (rev 1)
Vendor id= 1103. Device id=4
Medium devsel. IRQ 11. Master Capable. Latency=120. Min Gnt=8.Max Lat=8.
I/O at 0xbc00 [0xbc01].
I/O at 0xc000 [0xc001].
I/O at 0xc400 [0xc401].
So I have tried to use the 2 first entries of the two HPT366 in place of
the 4 first I/O entries of the Promise 33, generating the command line:
# linux ide2=0xb000,0xb402 ide3=0xbc00,0xc004
My HD being connect as master on the first ATA/66 connector, I tried whitout
the ide3 argument as well. Both generate the same effect. When the kernel boot,
the last lines it sends to the console are:
PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM=DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
ide1: BM=DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio
hdb: MATSHITA CR-586, ATAPI CDROM drive
hde: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA9.1, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0xif7, 0x3f6 on irq 14
then, it freezes and I have to reboot. The MATSHITA CDROM and FIREBALL HD are
the proper drives at the proper location.
So what's is that confusion with ide0?
HELP !!?!?
