| |
Hi,
one user reported what seemed to be an SiS5513 IDE related bug during kernel loading with the 2.4.20-9 RH9 kernel.
# Summary :
- The hardware is a SiS5513 based IBM Aptiva (Pentium 166 with F00F bug) - The symptom is an invalid EIP in sis5513.c's config_art_rwp_pio (from the stack trace summary reported) when trying to configure hdc or hdd. The kernel boots if passed hdc=none and hdd=none. - Reverting to the 2.4.18-27.8.0 RH8 kernel solves the problem. - The problem is 100% reproducible on this hardware. - different lspci -vxxx tries show unexpected results, see below
# More matter for thought :
What puzzles me is that the sis5513.c driver behaviour at boot time didn't change for this hardware between these 2 kernels ! I requested lspci -vxxx and dmesg output from fresh cold boots in the following configurations :
RH8 : 2.4.18-27.8.0 without extra parameters RH8_2 : 2.4.18-27.8.0 with "hdc=none hdd=none" RH9 : 2.4.20-9 with "hdc=none hdd=none"
and found out the following :
1/ Some dmesg differences :
RH9 inits the floppy device earlier (before the ide devices instead of after them), RH9 adds "Speakup".
2/ There's a difference in the ISA bridge config registers between the RH8 and the RH8_2 tests :

I don't know what these registers are used for but I don't see any reason for these changes. I guess there aren't related to the kernel parameters as previously (without cold boot guarantee) lspci reported once the following register values too (RH8 or RH8_2 type boot) :
50: 11 28 02 01 60 00 66 00 9c 2e 12 00 36 06 00 00
3/ lspci couldn't find the IDE I/O ports with the RH9 kernel (on several tries)

With the RH8 kernel lspci reports the following : 00:01.1 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev 08) (prog-if 8a [Mas ter SecP PriP]) Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0 I/O ports at 01f0 I/O ports at 03f4 I/O ports at 0170 I/O ports at 0374 I/O ports at fe80 [size=16] [...] I don't know what to think of this one either.
Hoping this will make some sense for somebody,
