[Marvell 9128 PCIe SATA] In Live session or installation HD not recognized

Hello
Is the disk recognized during a live session ?
Thanks
FAbio

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't start working on it yet, because your description didn't include enough information. Please include the information requested at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity/AttachingLogs as separate attachments. Thanks in advance.

No, the disk is not recognized in the live session.

Is Book em Dano an automated process? The installer did not crash, so is the requested information relevant?

I apologize, I referred you to the incorrect page. If you look at this page, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper, it will provide instruction on how to enable logging while using the Live CD and retrieve that log from the temporary filesystem. Also providing the logs stated on this page, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection, would be helpful as well.

Using Kubuntu 10.10, I added the debug= to the installer, then tried to install. No hard drive was detected, and I quit the installation, and the kubuntu live cd booted,

Is this bug still incomplete? Let me know if you need something else.

Is this bug still incomplete? Let me know if you need something else.

I believe this is *not* a dupe of 595321 - bug 595321 has a Silicon Image controller, this is something else:

01:00.0 IDE interface: Device 1b4b:91a3 (rev 11)

This is possibly a Marvell RAID chip (according to alex88 on #ubuntu+1 who appears to be hitting the same thing)

This looks like a driver problem to me.
Sean; this board looks like it has two IDE controllers, an Intel one and another one (a RAID one of some type - Marvell?)
If you know, can you confirm which one the drive is plugged into? My guess is it's plugged into the RAID and if you plug it into the other one it might work.

Failing that, if there is an option in the BIOS for AHCI then that might help it work (but don't bet on what it will do to Windows).

Dave

As requested by Dave i attach dmesg in ubuntu 10.10 in both raid and ahci settings.

AHCI setting now

RAID settings

Attaching also dmesg in 11.04 in AHCI

RAID version on 11.04 too

@Dave you're right, the motherboard (Asus P6X58D-E) has 2 controllers, the "Intel Matrix Storage Technology" that supports raid for sata-2 drives, (in the logs i've uploaded just a dvd drive is on those 6 ports) and a Marvell® 9128 PCIe SATA 6Gb/s controller (that has connected the 2 sata-6 western digital drives in raid-0.

The BIOS has 3 options for raid in the main page (i think affects only the sata-2 drives because they're near the list of sata-2 drives, the only reference of sata-6 drives are in the boot order option) IDE, RAID and AHCI. Windows boots in all 3 modes, and ubuntu don't see drives in any mode.

The marvell screen loads after the bios and it detects hdd and you can setup raid, but there aren't any other options.

Sorry for another post but there is no option to edit comments, as written before in the boot order option the bios see the raid as "IDE: Marvell controller raid" so i think it's not seen by the bios as raid or disk, just an ide device.

Info added as requested

I've asked to the sata developer at kernel.org and he given me this patch.
I'm rebuilding kernel and i'll tell you if this works.

very sorry my english and post...

That patch is only for the mainline kernel 2.6.37-rc3. I've downloaded it from kernel.org and compile was fine.
You need also to check prerequisite for building it.

howto add this patch for ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-23-generic) ... ? ...or kernell mainline 2.6.37-maverick...or any ubuntu stable...?

...any path for marvell 9128 for ubuntu stable...

None that i've found working. I've used the lastest kernel and it worked. Use that. It's more simple that you think.

Sorry, i was wrong, kernel compiled fine also with 2.6.36.1 stable.
But i've downloaded that also from kernel.org so dunno if ubuntu version works too.
You have to check that the drivers/ata/ahci.c file already contains:

PCI_DEVICE(0x1b4b, 0x9123), .driver_data = board_ahci_yes_fbs }, /* 88se9128 */

because older version without that string don't have the board_ahci_yes_fbs declared.

download linux-2.6.35-rc3 from kernel.org...ok...compilation kernel...use kernel-package and config-2.6.35.-23-generic...ok...succes...starting in use 6 Gb/s (Sata 3) WD 1TBFAEX and external controler marvell 9128 (controler only one manipulate...only IDE)...and...

I haven't understood what you're trying to say.
Does the patch works? Can you see the hdd attached to the sata-6 port?

I've the asus p6x58d-e motherboard, set sata mode in ahci. Applied patch and ubuntu can see the hdd.
I haven't tested performance but it depends of file system, position of what you're accessing on the disk ecc.

Also, in your dmesg it says "SATA link up 6.0 Gbps" so it's correctly seen at sata-6.
The patch is to use the same driver for the 9128 with different id. So it's for the right model just with another id.

Bytheway, performances will probably inspected with another patch. This is just to make hdd recognized as the bug is talking about.

quito so...preparation for all & any controler marvell 9128...any external and internal...exactly...for exnternal conroler marvell 9128 this patch no workinkg perfect and all mode IDE,AHCI,SATA ... only IDE...

...for MSI STAR-USB3/SATA6

External? Put lspci -nn and write here the marvell id.
I'm testing with internal, with ahci.

I have pulled back the patch as proposed by upstream and applied it to the Natty kernel for testing. Please could someone with the hardware test the kernels at the URL below and report back here:

    http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp658521-natty/

Thanks.

Should i test it on Natty or can i try anyway on maverick?

I'am testing for Natty and Maverick (compiled for kernel.org+patch)...working...

I'am testing for Natty from http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp658521-natty/ ( amd64)...working...

Yeah kernel you've given us worked fine for me.
If you want more info for debug just ask.

Thank you. What about the time of release into natty daily build?

That won't hit natty dailies until after the Alpha-1 freeze is lifted.

In the latest natty alpha 3 , I can see the HD partitions on live CD. But fail on allocate drive space. It show nothing on this step. when i press forward button , it show error message "no root file system is defined".

Attachment is the screen dump.
My mainboad is GA-880G-UD3H which use Marvell 9128.CPU is AMD X4 640.

Any suggestions ?

Many Thanks.

Hi Sam,
  It's probably best to report it as a separate bug for your installation.
It's worth including a copy of /proc/partitions to see what discs are actually seen, a dmesg output and the output of lspci -v
However if you use ubuntu-bug to file a bug against linux I think it will add all that for you.

Dave

Thx , I had reported it as bug named #730376

I have a similar card, a Highpoint Rocket Raid 622, with no drivers for natty. on lspci it shows up as:

 02:00.1 IDE interface: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 91a4 (rev 11)

I created a copy/paste patch from Allessandro's and am building a kernel. should this be a separate bug report?

my patch made no difference... ideas welcome:

02:00.0 RAID bus controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. Device 0622 (rev 01)
02:00.1 IDE interface: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 91a4 (rev 11)

There are two HDD's connected to this, that I cannot see.

I've the the same problem...

The PCIe adapter has 2 IDE HDD's connected and both aren't recognised...

I have upgrded to oneiric. The controller is recongized and working with 2.6.38 from natty, but 3.0.0 from oneiric sees no drives. I also tried upstream kernel 3.1 a few weeks ago and no drives there either. I opened this corresponding bug @ kernel.org, but it's down...

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34762

What's the right thing to do here? Reopen this? Or can we reopen it just for oneiric - given that it looks like a patch got dropped then how do we ensure it works in Precise?

 I am running Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit generic and it works for me just fine, though I have only DVD-burner connected.
