| |
I had a spare CMD646 udma-card lying around, and put it in my alpha (PWS500au). Everything boots fine, but there seems to be no HD recognized:
block: queued sectors max/low 39013kB/13004kB, 128 slots per queue Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx CMD646: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 20 CMD646: chipset revision 1 CMD646: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later CMD646: chipset revision 0x01, MultiWord DMA Limited, IRQ workaround enabled ide0: BM-DMA at 0x8080-0x8087, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x8088-0x808f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 2.88M
jurriaan@alpha:~$ cat /proc/ide/cmd64x

Is the bios (which is x86) strictly necessary to set up the drives? I tried searching the web for 'udma on alpha' etc. but found nothing.
