It would be nice if I'd also mention the kernel I use eh.
It's linux-2.6-git8

[LIBATA] drives not detected

2007-02-15 Thread Patrick Ale 

Good morning all,

Yesterday I replaced a Sil680 PCI add-on card for a Promise 2027x PCI
add-on card.


Now, when I boot up, I miss two drives, exactly the two connected to
this promise card.
I have another onboard Promise controller which works just fine, so
the driver gets loaded properly, and since i see all my other disks
but these two I think we can rule out a misconfiguration of the kernel
config this time ;-)

This is a snippet from my dmesg

pata_pdc2027x :00:0b.0: version 0.74-ac5
ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:0b.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 20

As you can see, scsi8 gives an abnormal status, which as we got
pointed out this week is just a cosmetic error for "No drive
attached/detected" and it's very right in that finding.

But what about scsi7? no warning/error about no disks being attached
nor a disk detection.

To state the obvious: I see the disks being detected by the Promise
BIOS when I boot the system,Primaiy master and Primaiy slave.

Here is the lspci -vvv regarding the controller
