acpi and sata

Carpo · 12-29-2005, 05:30 AM

i have a asus p4c800 E Deluxe mobo with sata drives - now i can get them to be seen by slack if i do not compile acpi either as a module or built in - is this a known issue or am i doing something wrong when compiling.

If there is any information i need to give just ask

- would have already posted some but didnt know what to post (hehe).

Many hours of reading forums and blogs helped me find the answer but would like to have acpi and sata working at the same time

what kernel are you starting with to do the recompile?
have you tried the test26 kernel? That has acpi support compiled in with all the pieces compiled as modules.

That's a Promise RAID controller. Which chipset?
You can determine that by issuing "/sbin/lspci"

The ACPI and SATA support shouldn't be related.
For SATA in a 2.6.x.y kernel you'll need:

Code:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_SATA is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_AHCI is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SVW is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_PROMISE is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_QSTOR is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SX4 is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_ULI is not set
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VITESSE is not set

Change the SATA_VIA to whatever Promise chipset
you have on that board...either the SATA_PROMISE
or SATA_SX4 choice above.

@finlay - yes i tried test26.s - it frooze at the select keyboard map - it didnt want to pick up the 2 usb keyboards i have so installed 2.4 sata.i - which seemed to pick up my bluetooth KB the sata drives - but didnt support the chipset on the board

@chinaman - i have checked and have a via chip promise and intel chip on there - littl ebit confusing but i will try as you suggest and select via and promise - should they be compiled as part of the kernel or as modules, at the moment i have them as built in, after removing acpi it found the sata drives and bluetooth kb and mouse were picked up

i will have a mess about and report back (when my hangover has gone

)

Please post the output of /sbin/lspci

Hello, I may be pointing you in the wrong direction, but booting the bareacpi.i kernel fixed an issue I was having very closely related to yours. This was on a fresh install, but I did freeze at finding keyboard map.
Again apologies if I point you in the wrong direction.

@chinaman - as asked for one output of lspci, after finding the manual i know that the promise chip habdles normal raid - so im guessing its the ICH5 chip as it says above - i have that as built into the kernel atm.

so i can see sata - as long as i dont have acpi in and now bluetooth kb and mouse randomly work when they want too

Asus website does indeed list the Intel ICH5R chipset,
just as your PCI device output states:

Code:

00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801EB (ICH5) SATA Controller (rev 02)

The module for that SATA controller should be SCSI_ATA_PIIX.
You should have it built-in, IMO.

This is what I have for ACPI on this Asus board:

Code:

# Power management options (ACPI, APM)
# ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_AC is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y
CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_IBM is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0
# CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y
# CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER is not set

but I must tell you. I have 4 different Asus
motherboards, and have not gotten ACPI to work
properly with any Linux kernel on any of them.

If you have ACPI and the SATA controller built
properly, and they conflict as you stated, I'd
guess that's a kernel bug. Perhaps you can search
Google <Linux> and the Linux Kernel Mailing List
for more information, or post to LKML.

seeing as im fairly new to linux i think i put all the options under acpi to built in - wonder if thats the cause, i will remove all other sata drivers from kenerl apart from the one i need and will change the acpi to as per your post above.

if all that works i just have to get bluetooth working - never rains but it pours
