Using HL3120 drive with linux and plscsi

[probutus]

I like to add generic support for native sata connections to the linux kernel (independant on the specific driver/hardware combination)

This can be done by modifying the libata kernel module; my problem is that I need a pcmcia-sata controller which does NOT have a sil-chipset on it (since these controllers have severe problems with spurious interrupts when using libata).

So if you see a pcmcia sata controller with no sil-chipset please mail me...

Danzig already PMmed me a pci-card with a via chipset but I have not found something similar with pcmcia.

I've been able to find a lot of PCMCIA-Sata Cards but none of them seem to tell what there chipest is

hehe ! hi ! probutus ... I am interested in that module, Dr2006 have found a PCMCIA card that does have the VIA6421 chipset that I ordered...

This is for those who were interested in purchasing a cardbus/pcmcia sata that does not have a Silicon image chipset.

This SATA cardbus uses VIA VT6421 Chipset

I plan on purchasing one of these to test with.  I will post all my results.

Hi patx,

thanks for the info; It will be very helpful for me if you can try the following:
grab a linux live cd (my created live_cd.iso will not work since there is libata deactivated in favor for the old siimage driver...)
then boot it with some drive connected (ether 8050L or 3120L or the TS943a or some other sata drive, just one would be enough) do a "dmesg" and pm me the output.

This is for checking the behaviour of the via chipset when the libata driver is used (e.g. the sil chipset had always spurious interrupts....). This is VERY helpful for me....

Thanks in advance..

I am currently setting up a minimal kernel (which simply has all ide/sata drivers and ide-cd.c enabled) which ejects the cd and reboots after activating the drive...

Hiya, I was just wondering if there was any news on the update for native sata support.

[probutus]

At first I need a dmesg output from a standard linux live cd (not my slax live cd because there is libata deactivated in favor for siimage drivers) with a 3120, 943A or 8050L connected... (I do not have one yet...). This would show some important facts about the libataxbox drive standard interoperability...

what do you need me to do to get that info for you?

[probutus]

Please do the following
1) download a standard linux-live cd (e.g. knoppix) my live-cd.iso will NOT work for this test
2) connect the xbox drive to a free port of the sata controller
3) boot the linux-cd from your standard dvd-rom (not the xbox drive)
4) after it is finished booting, open a console and type "dmesg"
5) please post the output

Thanks in advance!

[geebee]

thats the section with sata stuff in it...need more? I cant tell if it recognises the 360. As you can see its ICH5 sata.

[probutus]

thank you VERY much for the log!

Your Board seems to have 6 SATA-Ports and two ide-ports available

The first two SATA are handled by the ata-piix driver from the ICH-chipset.
The four other SATA ports are controlled by the sata-sil driver...(the evil one...)

the second port of the ich-sata driver is connected to a hdd
-->Did you connect the first port to the hitachi drive? (since this looks very interesting; link is detected  but no drive):

ata2: dev 0 cfg 49:0f00 82:4218 83:4000 84:4000 85:4218 86:0000 87:4000 88:203f
ata2: dev 0 ATAPI, max UDMA/100
ata2: dev 0 configured for UDMA/100


-->the four sata-sil ports seem to be unused (maybe a sil3114 controller)

Since the drive is basically recognized and there is no spurious interrupt I am pretty sure that the linux-driver problems are really a hardware problem of the sil chipset :-( To verify this you might connect the xbox drive to one of the four unused ports; the system should get pretty unstable then  and you should see some stack traces in the output

But this means that there is a chance of getting native sata access to work (except for sil) ... I will have a look into the libata again

THANKS A LOT FOR THE INFO....

[geebee]

he second port of the ich-sata driver is connected to a hdd
-->Did you connect the first port to the hitachi drive? (since this looks very interesting; link is detected  but no drive):


Yes thats the one.


I will reboot and post the log with the dvd connected to a Sil3114 port.

this means if you do NOT have a sil chipset you may use native sata....  with some slight modifications.... hopefully I get it working soon...

Thanks a lot again!

[geebee]

anything else you need?

PM me if you need any Hitachi testing done...

[Da Mafia]

Thanks a lot you guys for the work your putting in. I hope you can get a mod to work probutus I cant wait to get my Hitatchi working without modifying the driver physically

[probutus]

I looked into the generic libata part:
It seems that the generic EC/A1 (IDENTIFY_DEVICE/IDENTIFY_PACKET_DEVICE is run first and seems to work) but later on a INQUIRY command is sent which will (of course) fail because of the vendor specific "C0" byte missing:

The bad thing is that I have a sil3112 controller (and a 3114) where atapi is disabled but I still can trace the device detection mechanism. Second, I do not have my hitachi drive at hand currently, so I tried this with my 8163b
But if this works, we have a generic patch of getting the hitachi drive usable on all sata controllers (as a first step next would be adding support for the TS drive)

So what I did for testing is to enable the ata_debug output for the libata stuff and patched inside the atapi->scsi wrapper to send the c0 inquiry to the device. I have not created a live test cd yet but if you have a self compiled kernel and a sata controller please try the following:

1) inside /usr/src/linux/include/linux/libata.h: add the lines in red:

/*
 * compile-time options
 */
#define ATA_DEBUG               /* debugging output */
#define ATA_VERBOSE_DEBUG       /* yet more debugging output */
#undef ATA_IRQ_TRAP             /* define to ack screaming irqs */
#undef ATA_NDEBUG               /* define to disable quick runtime checks */
#undef ATA_ENABLE_PATA          /* define to enable PATA support in some
                                 * low-level drivers */
#undef ATAPI_ENABLE_DMADIR      /* enables ATAPI DMADIR bridge support */

2) in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/libata-scsi.c in the function ata_scsi_queuecmd: add the lines in red:

int ata_scsi_queuecmd(struct scsi_cmnd *cmd, void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *))
{
        struct ata_port *ap;
        struct ata_device *dev;
        struct scsi_device *scsidev = cmd->device;
        struct Scsi_Host *shost = scsidev->host;

        ap = (struct ata_port *) &shost->hostdata[0];

        spin_unlock(shost->host_lock);
        spin_lock(&ap->host_set->lock);
        /*---HACK_ON---*/
        if (cmd->cmnd[0]==INQUIRY)
                        cmd->cmnd[5]=0xC0;
        /*---HACK_OFF---*/
        ata_scsi_dump_cdb(ap, cmd);

        dev = ata_scsi_find_dev(ap, scsidev);
        if (unlikely(!dev)) {
                cmd->result = (DID_BAD_TARGET cmnd[0]);

                if (xlat_func)
                        ata_scsi_translate(ap, dev, cmd, done, xlat_func);
                else
                        ata_scsi_simulate(ap, dev, cmd, done);
        } else
                ata_scsi_translate(ap, dev, cmd, done, atapi_xlat);

out_unlock:
        spin_unlock(&ap->host_set->lock);
        spin_lock(shost->host_lock);
        return 0;
}

i dont have the knowledge to do that Probutus, unless you talk me thru modifying my Knoppix Live CD

Yeh me neither lol, but if you could explain how to modify a live Cd or to make one then I could test to see if it works.

Then again it would probly be quicker to make a live Cd than to try to explain it wouldn't it.
