Subject: Problems with Promise IDE controller under 2.4.1
Date: 31 Jan 2001 17:02:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <uk0d7d3hfqm.fsf@false.linpro.no> (raw)
We experience trouble with the Promise (PDC20265) IDE controller
and seven 75GB IBM disks on a single CPU (Pentium-III) server.
Linux 2.4.1 fails to detect correct geometry for the four last
disks (identified as hde, hdf, hdg, hdh).

Two types of disks:

[root@nngds1 /root]# hdparm /dev/hda

multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)

keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 9345/255/63, sectors = 150136560, start = 0
[root@nngds1 /root]# hdparm /dev/hde
/dev/hde:
multcount = 0 (off)

unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)

The machine runs RedHat 7.0 with RHN upgrades if it means anything.
