Bug Description

Hi Ben,

with the lastest 2.6.19 I am having a bunch of issues with my storage controllers.

The 2 hd (hda/hdb) connected to
00:0f.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT823x/A/C PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
can't do DMA anymore. It looks like they are owned by ata_generic or something?
The 2 CD/DVD (hdc/hdd) suffer of the same issue (connected to the same controller).
Note in the attached dmesg that they are discovered twice, first with normal/real name and later by a more generic one.

The 4 hd (hd* in .17 and sd[a-d] in .19) to the
00:0c.0 Mass storage controller: Promise Technology, Inc. 20269 (rev 02)
have changed name. This isn't really an issue but we lose control over DMA/32 bit io.

The other storage controllers have no disks connected at the moment. The Fiber Channel is connected to a powered off SAN so there are no disks.

As a side note, hdc and hdd do not appear in /proc/partitions anylonger. I am not sure if that's wanted behaviour.

Hey Fabio,

This is actually a known issue. It's a matter of moving from ide to pata modules. What you need to do is add pata_via to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and recreate the initrd.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.19:
