Re: PCI IDE Adapter for PPC/Linux

Ok, so I took the Promise card out of the test system today, and put
it into my Windows box. I tried to install the drivers, and use a drive,
but Windows crashed! I took the card back to Frye's and got a
new one... it immediately detected the drive, but now, it hangs ..

Still, this is excellent progress! I cannot believe the crap you buy at
Frye's, even when there aren't white return stickers on them!
Anyhow, I am getting interrupts, I guess the thing todo at this point
is check the PCI bus for I/O & DMA on an analyzer, I cannot see why the
system would hang at this point unless there was a H/W problem with
this board. I will have to look into it... there may not be the right
resistors stuff on this board or something with the bus loading..

The fact that it works a walnut but not your board points to board specific problem. Have you double checked IRQ routing?
It is getting PCI IRQ 3, I checked this in the sandpoint_setup file where the IDE configuration is, all I had todo was change the PCI device and vendor ID to promise (very nice :-) I also enabled a PIO printf in do_IRQ() and I do see it getting called.

Well, when I disable IDE, my IRQ's work fine for the onboard Dec 21143 and the NS16552 .... I tested a BCM5701 NIC card with the PCI slot though so I am at a loss ... perhaps the Calibrate delay is wrong? If the IDE timing is off, it might for a toss. What about the bogomips reading, does this look right for a 200Mhz Kahlua? I'm out of ideas... thoughts?
Where did you get your hhl-2.4.2 kernel? Try using the one in our Journeyman Edition, available on our ftp site. You can see the config options I turned on for using the Promise card in that kernel.
I did that, from your ftp site. I then modified it to run on the Kahlua Mousse board (see also http://www.vooha.com/mousse.html).

I love devfsd ---- I've always loved devfsd ... (smiles) :-) Oh yeah, I installed all of the software in ppc82xx_apps from ftp.mvista.com in Journeyman under ppc from the cd distribution. Still, when it boots up, it only runs a getty. It is not starting the network nor is it mounting entries in fstab. Seems like none of the rc scripts work .. Anyhow, thanks Guys, more later ... -James
