The relevant device is third from the bottom: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC42819 [FastTrak TX2650/TX4650] [105a:3f20] So it's not a Marvell unless that is an alias.

It has an AHCI mode and so far works correctly with board_ahci. This chip is found on Promise's FastTrak TX2650 (2 port) and TX4650 (4 port) software-based RAID cards (for which there is a binary driver, t3sas) and can be found on some motherboards, for example the MSI K9A2 Platinum, which calls the chip a Promise T3 controller. Although this controller also supports SAS devices, its default bootup mode is AHCI and the binary driver has to do some magic to get the chip into the appropriate mode to drive SAS disks. Seeing as no documentation is provided by Promise, adding this entry to the ahci driver allows the controller to be useful to people as a SATA controller (with no ill effects on the system if a SAS disk is connected - probing of the port just times out with "link online but device misclassified"), without having to resort to using the binary driver. Users who require SAS or the proprietary software raid can get this functionality using the binary driver. I'm sorry but I don't think we can improve support for the controller w/o information from Promise. :-( Resolving as WONTFIX for now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
