Hi all,
I just recently took the plunge and bought 4 250 GB Seagate
drives and a 2 port Silicon Image 3112A controller card for the 2
drives my motherboard doesn't handle. No matter how hard I try, I
can't get the hard drives to work: they are detected correctly
and work reasonably well under _very_ light load, but anything
like building a RAID array is a bit much and the whole controller
seems to lock up.
I've tried adding the drive to the blacklist in the sata_sil.c
driver and I still have the same trouble: as you can see the
messages below relate to my patched kernel with the blacklist
fix. I've seen that this was discussed just yesterday, but that
seemed to give nothing: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/
kernel/0508.1/0310.html
Ready and willing to hack my kernel to pieces; this machine is no
use until I get all the drives working! Needless to say the
drives connected to the on-board VIA controller work fine, as do
the drives currently on the SiI controller if I swap them around.
Any ideas?
TIA

Can you please try w/ vanilla kernel (2.6.12 or 2.6.13-rc)? And
w/ one drive only?
I unplugged both drives from my on-board SATA controller and left
just one connected to the 3112A controller. Rebooted with a fresh,
vanilla 2.6.13-rc6 and ran:
dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1M count=16384
After about 30 seconds I got the crash and the kernel started
repeating every 30 seconds (with different sector numbers):
