Unhappy SvrWks CSB6 IDE RAID Controller, lost interrupt


Hi folks,

after searching the web with Google and finding no solution, I'll start another try here.

The IDE RAID controller in my new ProLiant ML330 G3 ATA causes several problems and is not working at all.

To start from scratch: The system has been installed using a HP Ultra3 SCSI controller and a suitable disk. This configuration worked.

After buying two Seagate 160GB ATA100 disks and attaching them to the onboard CSB6 IDE RAID controller (two IDE channels) I was able to create a RAID1 array and initialize that from within the BIOS.

After booting SuSE Linux ES8 (SLES 8, SP1 and some patches) I found the following messages in boot.msg:

Whenever I try to access any disks (with partitioner or fdisk) I encounter a big delay and bunches of "lost interrupt" messages.

What I already tried:
  • replaced the ATA100 cable
  • changed disk jumper setting from cable select to master
  • changed RAID setup in BIOS from 1 to 0
  • dropped RAID setup in BIOS
  • put both disks on one IDE channel (former I had one on each IDE channel)
  • reduced to one disk only
  • changed BIOS from OS Linux to Other OS (hang while booting)
  • booted Linux with noacpi (also hangs)

Hope someone is willing to help me with that.

An additional question: The Linux kernel just recognizes the physical drives attached to the RAID controller. I would think that this should be hidden from the OS by the controller BIOS and only show a virtual disk containing the RAID as a single device to the OS.

Regards, Ronald

Hi folks,

does anyone even know the SvrWks CSB6 and got it running with Linux?

Would be very interesting how the virtual RAID device looks like (aka is named)...

Ronald

Solution of first problem (lost interrupt):

http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2002/...interrupt.html

Remaining problem: megaide.o from HP (driver seems to be from LSILogic) for UL1.0 kernel 2.4.19-64GB-SMP does not load.

insmod megaide.o: init_module: No such device

I seem to have the same problems as you. I'm currently downloading rh 8.0 since it seems like this is one of the very few distros it works with. I'm hoping to be able to use the raid-arrray from Gentoo, which means I'll depend upon having the drivers in form of sourcecode so that I can compile it into the kernel. Have you reached any futher with your installation? If so, please keep me posted!
Btw.
There seems to be something more to these irq messages, there is something on the topic in the RH80_Installation.txt regarding irq conflicts on the controller. You are supposed to add some hd[x]=noprobe kernelparameters to get it to work.
