Re: [coreboot] IDE and Compact Flash handling in AMD Geode LX800 and CS5536
Hi, The CF is the primary master and the IDE interface is the primare slave. I've tried to enable the PATA MSR but lspci -vvv displays the IDE controller as [disabled] (base at 1f0h and 170h in memory space). Is there any register in the pci-to-isa bridge that I should reprogram?

[coreboot] IDE and Compact Flash handling in AMD Geode LX800 and CS5536
Hi, I'm working on an AMD LX800-CS5536 board. The IRQ is now working properly. However, it's impossible to install an operating system through the IDE interface or the Compact Flash (CF) interface. Booting to the OS installation works just fine (Ubuntu Hardy Heron Linux and FreeBSD 8.0 and 8.1). However, when the OS arrived at the HDD partitioning. it always failed. There's a CF interface and an IDE interface on the board. My question is: how those interfaces usually connected to CS5536 southbridge? Are they multiplexed?

You have to ask the board vendor. If you also mention what board it is here, then maybe someone here can help. Did you try e.g. using only the PATA interface, maybe with a CF2IDE adapter? Did you make sure to use the cs5536_pata driver and set cs5536_pata.msr=1 on the kernel command line? //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
