kernel 2.6.10: promise sx6000 not detected by i2o_block

kernel 2.6.10: promise sx6000 not detected by i2o_block

[Juergen Krause]

Hi!

I am happy to see that kernel 2.6 supports the promise sx6000,
but my controller isn't detected by the kernel.

Infos about my computer:
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
ASUS A8V Deluxe

Infos about controller:
Promise SX6000
firmware: 1.20.0.27

the attached 5 harddrives are configured as 1 raid5 group, so I load following i2o modules

i2o_core
i2o_proc
i2o_block

syslog entries when i2o modules are loaded:

Dec 25 21:28:26 server block-osm: registered device at major 80

I running gentoo linux with udev-050, 

The controller works fine under linux 2.4 with the promise driver (1.34.0.1) and under windows xp.

Do I anything wrong or is the Promise sx6000 support still broken?

The I2O layer expects the controller to be in I2O mode. You might want
to try adding the PCI identifier directly to drivers/message/i2o/pci.c
next to the DPT one.

Hi Alan,

thx for the quick responce.

I added the the PCI indentifier to drivers/message/i2o/pci.c as follows:

+       {PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_INTEL, 0x1962)},

 };

but now i get a kernel panic when I load the module i2o_core :-(

Any ideas what I should test now or do you need more infos?
Just let me know.
