Hi all,
I just recently took the plunge and bought 4 250 GB Seagate drives and a 2 port Silicon Image 3112A controller card for the 2 drives my motherboard doesn't handle. No matter how hard I try, I can't get the hard drives to work: they are detected correctly and work reasonably well under _very_ light load, but anything like building a RAID array is a bit much and the whole controller seems to lock up.
I've tried adding the drive to the blacklist in the sata_sil.c driver and I still have the same trouble: as you can see the messages below relate to my patched kernel with the blacklist fix. I've seen that this was discussed just yesterday, but that seemed to give nothing: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0508.1/0310.html
Ready and willing to hack my kernel to pieces; this machine is no use until I get all the drives working! Needless to say the drives connected to the on-board VIA controller work fine, as do the drives currently on the SiI controller if I swap them around.
Any ideas?
TIA Chris
