00:12.0 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc 4379 Serial ATA Controller (rev 80)

[mrsunshine]

Chip is bases on the Silicon Image 3112 if im not mistaking. Fails to boot, have added vendor and device ID to the silicon image driver but no luck there.

Strange thing is that the boot finds it in two places.

One that says: Vendor 0x1002 Device 0x4379 class_base 0x01 class_sub 0x01

then another one that looks like lspci output but somewhat extended.

Added a TRACE before it excludes devices inthe silicon_image_3112 driver to see what devices it looks over, and this one is not with in that list. there 0x4376, 0x437b (i think) 0x4377 ... but none of them is this device. Or can it be that it finds a generic_ide driver (for the IDE controller on the mobo) and just stops scannig there?.

Can you please attach the serial debug output?

I do not have a serial port on this computer so no :/ .. more then if i took like 10 pictures of it as it rambles on with camera if that will do ? :)

[mrsunshine]

Well, after some looking and so i figured, hell why not remove the generic_ide interface and voila! .. one step closer! :)

The si3112 driver is working as of hrev22863, but there might be unresolved problems when using ATI hardware, or specific harddisks. The Linux driver seems to apply some workarounds.

What harddisk are you using?

ATA-7: Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00, SB2OC70P, max UDMA/100

As for the workarounds i have no clue whatsoever about kernel/driver code .. so im quite lost there :/

[marcusoverhagen]

Can you try again with a trunk (not alphaimage) build of hrev32978? Thanks.

[marcusoverhagen]

I'm sorry, but the si3112 was still broken in hrev32978.

Please test with a trunk (not alphaimage) build of hrev32988. Thanks.

[marcusoverhagen]

(In #4535)

[Coldfirex]

Still an issue under recent builds?

[MrSunshine]

Have to test, do not have the posibility atm, have that computer at home =) Will get back during the weekend

[scottmc]

Any chance you can recheck it this weekend? ;)

[pulkomandy]

Any news on this ? I believe I may have access to a similar controller, will have a look, but I'm not sure...

[scottmc]

moving to hrev1/beta1, but this might have been fixed in hrev32988, but needs to be confirmed before we can close this out.

[scottmc]

@pulkomandy and MrSunshine, can either of you retest this with R1Alpha4.1 or newer to see if it is or isn't still an issue? If no response then we should just close this one out as probably fixed as there's been no confirmed reports of it still not working for the past 3 years or so.

[MrSunshine]

Sorry cannot test this anymore as the laptop that i had the problem on has gone poof :/

[pulkomandy]

My computer has 1002:4380 (not 4379), and it seems to work fine. I booted from an USB key and can see the hard disk in DriveSetup.

Marking as fixed until we can find another computer exposing the problem.
