Re: [9fans] SATA VT8251 support?
did anyone know if this controller is supported by the sata driver? i cant see anywhere in sdata.c and sdiahci.c. . . i guess it isnt supported at all, so there is no option to fill some silly pci-id somewhere to get it going. The new 9grid.es server has this controller, it would be a pitty not being able to run plan9 on it and be stuck to the 256M-RAM server :( (output of lspci -v under the linux the server comes with) 00:0f.0 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8251 AHCI/SATA 4-Port Controller (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO]) Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8251 AHCI/SATA 4-Port Controller Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 509 I/O ports at ec00 [size=8] i didn't add support because i didn't have any test hardware. please try the untested version at http://www.quanstro.net/sdiahci.c. it should report the via as an unk 4-port hba. unk means that there is no special magic required. do you need a matching driver for 9load? - erik
Re: [9fans] SATA VT8251 support?
Hi Erik, I try it this morning, but the server don't boot. I cannot say nothing about the problem, because the server is far far away and we don't have console. Probably we need change the 9load to include this SATA support. Any help? Thanks Eric, slds. i cant see anywhere in sdata.c and sdiahci.c. . . i guess it isnt supported at all, so there is no option to fill some silly pci-id somewhere to get it going. try http://www.quanstro.net/sdiahci.c. i hadn't enabled this in the release version because i didn't have any hardware on which to test. let me know how this works for you. - erik -- Rodolfo García AKA kix http://www.kix.es/ EA4ERH (@IN80ER)
