| |
I have a SATA drive attached to a PowerPC 8349E board, using the SIL 3114 controller. I'm running the latest code from Paul Mackerras (PowerPC maintainer) (2.6.18-blabla).
I'm experiencing a number of I/O errors with the SATA drive. fdisk can see the partition table, but when I issue the "w" command, I get this output:
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. SCSI device sda: 321672960 512-byte hdwr sectors (164697 MB) sda: Write Protect is off SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back sda: unknown partition table SCSI device sda: 321672960 512-byte hdwr sectors (164697 MB) sda: Write Protect is off SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back sda: unknown partition table Syncing disks.
I cannot mount any partitions. On boot, I see this:
sata_sil 0000:00:10.0: Applying R_ERR on DMA activate FIS errata fix ata1: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xD100E080 ctl 0xD100E08A bmdma 0xD100E000 irq 22 ata2: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xD100E0C0 ctl 0xD100E0CA bmdma 0xD100E008 irq 22 ata3: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xD100E280 ctl 0xD100E28A bmdma 0xD100E200 irq 22 ata4: SATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0xD100E2C0 ctl 0xD100E2CA bmdma 0xD100E208 irq 22 scsi0 : sata_sil ata1: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310) ata1.00: ATA-7, max UDMA/133, 321672960 sectors: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32) ata1.00: ata1: dev 0 multi count 0 ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100 scsi1 : sata_sil ata2: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) scsi2 : sata_sil ata3: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) scsi3 : sata_sil ata4: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 310) scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA HDT722516DLA380 V43O PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 SCSI device sda: 321672960 512-byte hdwr sectors (164697 MB) sda: Write Protect is off SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back SCSI device sda: 321672960 512-byte hdwr sectors (164697 MB) sda: Write Protect is off SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back sda: unknown partition table sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
The odd thing is that this works in 2.6.13, so something is broken. I don't know if it's a bug in the sata_sil driver, or a configuration issue. Can anyone help?
