SubjectProblems with Promise IDE controller under 2.4.1
From
Date
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).

[root@nngds1 /root]# cat /proc/ide/hd[abcefgh]/geometry

Two types of disks:
(geometry of the first is correctly detected, the second isn't)

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

/dev/hda:
multcount = 0 (off)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
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)
I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
nowerr = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 8 (on)
geometry = 17873/16/63, sectors = 150136560, start = 0


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