Re: KERNEL 2.6.3 and MAXTOR 160 GB

[David B. Stevens]

Carlo,

 From the driver code:


/* Don't use LBA48 on ALi devices before rev 0xC5 */
hwif->no_lba48 = (m5229_revision <= 0xC4) ? 1 : 0;

0xC5 is revision 197 your system has a revision 196 chipset.

The inabilty to use LBA48 with that chipset version is why Linux is saying:

hda: cannot use LBA48 - full capacity 320173056 sectors (163928 MB)
hda: 268435456 sectors (137438 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=16709/255/63,

and restricting you to use only 137 GB of that drive.

2.6 knows it is a 160GB drive but the chipset can't handle anything 
above 137GB.

Cheers,
   Dave

Your IDE controller doesn't support DMA transfer modes when LBA48 is used.
This means that access to the > 137GB part of the disk can only be done
using PIO modes (slow!).

Patch below (against kernel 2.6.4-rc2) should fix access to >137GB part
of the disk in the best possible way - IDE driver will always try to use
DMA and revert to PIO only when necessary.  I dunno what patches are
included in RedHat's 2.4.20-8 but kernels < 2.4.23 can silently corrupt
your data because of this issue (and you still won't access whole disk
with >= 2.4.23, although -ac tree contained fix which just turned DMA off).

> # CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO is not set

Please don't set it to 'y' while using this patch (because it's harder to
fix for CONFIG_IDE_TASKFILE_IO and conflicts with other pending patches).

Regards,
Bartlomiej

KERNEL 2.6.3 and MAXTOR 160 GB

[Carlo Orecchia]

HI

I'm running redhat 9 on an XP 1800 and a ASUS A7A266. I recently buy a new 
HD a maxtor Diamond Plus 160 with 8 mega cache. The fact is that the 
kernel that comes 
with REDHAT (2.4.20-8) shows the entire size of the disk (163.7 gb) but 
the kernel 2.6.1 or 2.6.3 does not. It only shows 137 gb. I'm getting 
crazy trying to understand why this is happening! Please let 
me know if theres a patch to fix this. I really  found amazing the 2.6 
kernel and i don't want to come back to use the 2.4!
What can i do? 


Regards

Carlo Orecchia

You can tell us the boot messages that concern your disk.
You can tell us the CONFIG options that concern IDE.
For example, did you set CONFIG_IDEDISK_STROKE ?

Re: KERNEL 2.6.3 and MAXTOR 160 GB

[Stephen D. Williams]

Be sure that you are really connected to a newer IDE controller.  This is what
determines whether the OS sees 137GB or the full amount.

2.6.3 and really all recent kernels have worked on hard drives up to 250GB
with the correct controllers for both IDE and Firewire bridge boards.

Now about those 2.6.3 lockups that I am completely in the dark about...
