Subject: 2.4.21-ac4 Adaptec 1210SA lost interrupt , Seagate 120G



Tried them on every imaginable way:

1. 2.4.21 + my own siimage slight patch, 2.4.21 + simage from ac4,
pure 2.4.21-ac4
2. apic, noapic, localapic
3. uni,smp motherboards, 4 of them
4. modules, compiled in,
5. all of options from cards bios

/proc/interrupts reports 0 interrupts for ide2,3 , whatever I do.

after bootup, after attacking ide-disk driver, there are lost interrupts.
it recognises disk as correct type, but no communication except:

1. under XP it works (but there was no linux at that mb)
2. hdparm lets change few flags under linux, but no -X succeeds
3. after waiting for minute those timeouts and booting up, then
/proc/ide/ide2/hde/* reports sensible correct information

I have the card for few more days, anything to try ?

Elmer.

I've tried this card with all of the hdparm options that I could
think of. I got no success either. However, Andre Hedrick claims[1] to
have got the SiI3112 and 3114 working in his tree (a couple of weeks
ago). He's testing it[2] before release.

[2] I believe that one of the tests is whether he's got paid for the
work by the people who contracted him to do it, which is where I
suspect the real delay is.

Hi.

but could'nt find anything, maybe I missed something?
And how about 2.6 kernel + 1210sa + sata seagate 120G?
