Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2003-08-05 23:16:58 UTC 
Driver isn't in the kernel
Comment 2 Jeff Garzik 2003-08-11 15:15:58 UTC 
lspci?

ata_piix driver should be in taroon-beta1, actually.  rpm -qlp shows it.
Comment 3 Paul Bender 2003-08-12 15:15:27 UTC 
Are there plans to put the driver in the kernel before Severn is released? It is
my understanding that support for it is in Alan Cox's 2.4.21-ac4 patch. Since I
have an Intel S875WP1-E motherboard, it would be great for me if it were supported.
Comment 4 Jeff Garzik 2003-08-12 15:33:48 UTC 
Ah, Severn!  Yes, we intend to support i875 SATA in severn too.  So, lack of
support is definitely a bug we wish to fix...

Can you post 'lspci -vvvn' as root?

Created attachment 93605 [details]
Output of "lspci -vvvn" on my Intel S875WP1-E based computer

As requested, I have attached the output of "lspci -vvvn".

In case it is helpful, I thought I would provide some more information on my
configuration. Since the kernel does not support the SATA on i875p, I have
configured the BIOS to use legacy ATA mode. I am using two Seagate ST3160023AS
drives configured to use software RAID Level 1. I have one additional Intel
Pro/100 Ethernet card plugged into the last PCI slot.
Comment 6 Paul Bender 2003-08-28 00:23:19 UTC 
I downloaded, configured, compiled and installed the vanilla 2.4.22 kernel from
kernel.org. It appears that the 2.4.22 kernel recognizes my SATA drives.
Comment 7 Paul Bender 2003-09-04 16:18:31 UTC 
I downloaded and installed the 2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36.nptl kernel RPMs for
rawhide. However, unlike the vanilla 2.4.22 kernel that I compiled myself, the
kernel RPMs do not recognize the SATA hard drives.

In addition, the kernel RPMs do not recognize the onboard sensors. I assume that
this means that the 2.8.0 patches for lm_sensors and i2c have not been applied.
I patched my vanilla 2.4.22 kernel and the sensors on the motherboard are
recognized.

BTW, I have changed my configuration. I have installed Severn on a PATA drive
that I connected to the secondary IDE controller. In addition, I have taken the
SATA out of legacy mode. Under the vanilla 2.4.22 kernel, the PATA drive shows
up as /dev/hdc and the SATA drives show up as /dev/hde and /dev/hdg.
Comment 8 Bill Nottingham 2003-10-21 20:21:49 UTC 
Does this work in test3 or later?
Comment 9 Paul Bender 2003-10-22 02:35:15 UTC 
I have not installed test3, but I have been keeping the machine sync-ed with 
Raw Hide. Therefore, I believe that I am running the latest kernel (2.4.22-
1.2097). It does not work with that kernel. If it would help, I can send my 
config file for my 2.4.22 kernel that works.
Comment 10 Edward Stangler 2003-10-25 10:28:55 UTC 
Not sure if this helps, but kernel-2.4.22-1.2088.nptl (Severn test 3) finds my
120GB Seagate SATA drive on a Dell Optiplex GX270 (82801EB ICH5) just fine.

Regarding the comment about sensors:  the i2c-i801 driver (1.6.5) fails to load
on ICH5, so no lm_sensors.  Any chance we could get i2c-i801 upgraded to 2.8.0
(rev. 1.3.3), which added ICH5 support?  Code changes seem straightforward; 
acts like ICH4.
Comment 11 brian atkisson 2003-10-26 00:26:57 UTC 
seems to work fine with beta 2 & 3.

Thanks!
