RE: [2.6.13-rc3][SATA] - SIL 3114 controller w/ firmware 5.0.39 - Hanging only in 64bit mode - Resolved in 2.6.13-rc6

[Shawn Starr]

It appears 2.6.13-rc6 has enough SATA/libata fixes that stop the DMA read/write locks (the .ordered_flush ops seems to do it). I did also flash the BIOS to the latest release as well (but older 2.6.13-rcX releases had problems still).

Thanks, 

Shawn.

Hanging only in 64bit mode



I just tried -rc3 today on the amd64 box which is a Asus K8N-E Deluxe motherboard. Is it possible the firmware for the controller is buggy? Anyone else reporting hangs?

I can reproduce the sata controller with various writes:

1) If I connect the box and allow a remote machine to PXE and TFTP boot from it, the machine hangs. This is consistent each time I try this but only if the box is in 64bit mode.

2) Certain times when doing disk writes it will just hang, there doesn't appear to be any messages from the sil driver logged to console. It still seems to be released to DMA problems.

I hope this info is helpful, 

thanks, 

Shawn.
