Hi list,
I have a couple of Highpoint Rocket(Fake)Raid 2300 PCI-e X1 adapters in
my system, I bought those because the box said ('Open Source' next to
'linux driver' btw, talk about false advertising). Here's the lspci
output:
02:00.0 SCSI storage controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. RocketRAID
230x 4 Port SATA-II Controller (rev 02)
03:00.0 SCSI storage controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. RocketRAID
230x 4 Port SATA-II Controller (rev 02)
04:00.0 SCSI storage controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. RocketRAID
230x 4 Port SATA-II Controller (rev 02)
and lspci -n
02:00.0 0100: 1103:2300 (rev 02)
03:00.0 0100: 1103:2300 (rev 02)
04:00.0 0100: 1103:2300 (rev 02)
Now, because the chip on the thing is a Marvell 7042 I figured I just
add the PCI ID to the driver. I tried this, and, if I do not boot from
the device it does seem to work. I did however get the following errors
(a lot):
02:00.0 sata_mv PCI ERROR; PCI IRQ reason=0x00000000
I write this from memory, but the numbers are correct, sorry if they do
not EXACTLY match.
The disk drives do work, but they are dog slow, and when I try to boot
my ubuntu 7.10 system with this driver, it hangs during boot, right
after it tried to enable my software raid volumes.
I have tried both the 'stock' ubuntu kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (I guess
that won't mean much) but I also tried vanilla kernel.org 2.6.23.1
I realize that this is probably too little information, and I'm very
willing to provide any other information that you might want.
I'd love to provide a complete boot log, but my @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@#$
motherboard
does not have a serial interface. Any suggestion is highly
appreciated :)
Thank you so much for your help in advance, I feel all dirty using the
proprietary driver from highpoint :)
