 Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2010 8:16 pm Post subject: Silicon image 3114 on 2.6.31 cannot access disks |
 |
|
I have slightly older intel 4x Xeon 32bit Server. I put sil 3114 there with 2x2TB seagate drives attached, and boot latest minimal gentoo image. I see it does load sata_sil drive
And lspci shows device correctly but fdisk -l shows nothing. Cannot gues what is the problem. I was exploring inet for the problem but found the problem was solved long time ago. May be somebody meet this problem?
Thanks. |

Aidamir, I am using the SiL3114 controller in a x86_64
installation. Not running kernel-2.6.31 at the moment but
it ran ok when I tested the release.
To start investigating what went wrong please post output
of dmesg. |

Yes, I did yesterday! I have installed on my Xeon 1.7GHz system a Silicon Image 3336 controller and had the exact same problem.
Dmesg outputs everything correctly about SATA ports BUT no disks were accessible (as in no disks available).
In my case I had it resolved with enabling the controller BIOS. It was also required to change the PCI-Slot because it was conflicting with (I guess) another controller.

quick update: ran sysrescd-1.3.0 (kernel-2.6.31) in 32bit mode
on my system and it works ok (http://www.sysresccd.org).
Maybe something wrong with minimal gentoo image? |

Hi all, Thank you for your reply. I am sorry, I forgot to say, when I trying to boot minimal gentoo image first time, I was fail. It was halted during scanning for ultrastore so I was reset server manually and boot with noscsi. There is adaptec SCSI controller present in the server but I don't need now. So with noscsi option gentoo did not load all needed sg and sd drivers needed for representing SATA drives with SCSI layser. So you absolutely right Theotherjoe - it is something wrong with gentoo minimal but not for sata_sil drivers, it is wrong for ultrastore. Today I did moved controller to another PC without SCSI adapters and gentoo minimal was detected drives very good. I have no time, so I did install latest debian distribution it was no problem there with detecting hardware but of course older 2.6.26 kernel.
Thanks. |
