Hello everyone,
i'm having some really strange problems with the sata_sil driver.
My hardware:
Asus A7N8X Deluxe Rev 1.x with onboard Sil3112 Controller
- Samsung SP1614C SATA Harddrive
- for further testing : PATA to SATA Adapter that came with an ABIT
Mainboard
What i'm trying to accomplish: i'm trying to use this Samsung SATA
harddrive in my Linux Fileserver:
When the Silicon Image Controller is enabled (it can be disabled by a
jumper) and no harddrive is connected, everything boots fine.
If i connect a harddrive, i get the following message (exact messages
change slightly) while booting:
- - - - - START - - - - -

This happens with both the Samsung SP1614C "native" SATA drive, as well
as with an IBM 180GB PATA drive, using a PATA-to-SATA Adapter.
So i'm not sure whether this is harddrive dependent, but at least it
doesn't look like it...
This problem has been there in all of the latest 2.6.X kernel revisions.
I'm currently using 2.6.10-rc3 (which came out today), but i've allready
had this problem in 2.6.9 and 2.6.8 and probably even 2.6.7 if i
remember correctly.
I tried quite a lot to get rid of those problems, including:
- Flashing a new/different Bios (even with different versions of the
Silicon Image SATA Bios part: 4.2.47 and 4.2.50)
- Disabling APIC in the Bios, compiling Kernel with or without APIC
- Changing the IRQ of the Controller by reserving IRQ#11 in the Bios
- Disabling allmost every other onboard device i could, including
serial/parallel/usb/firewire/3com lan (and there are no PCI/Addon cards
besides an nvidia geforce2mx agp card installed in this pc anyway!)
- Connecting drives to both ports
I found the following discussions which might be related to what i'm
experiencing, but noone seems to have a solution. Some seem to suggest
it worked fine till 2.6.5:
(The first two seem to be most related, i'm not so sure of the third one)

instead of ibm

before the problem
Is there ANYTHING i can do (except buying a promise controller) ?
Yours sincerely,
Gerald

I am having exactly the same problem, the only difference being the
model of drive. Mine is a WD2000. The sata_sil module loads ok though,
if the drive is not connected. If it is connected, hard lock. Tested
on 2.4.25, 2.6.9, 2.6.10.
