[opensuse-factory] Hardware Support: JMicron JMB363 (w/ Intel P965 Chipset)
Hi, I have a nice new Asus P5B mainboard (please, no chastising me for choosing a board from a Linux-hostile vendor) that is, for the most part, running 10.2a5 successfully. However, that's so only because I had the brilliant, though completely serendipitous, idea to put one IDE optical drive and one SATA optical drive in my system. Fortunately, the SATA drive made installation possible while the JMicron-controlled IDE/ATA bus with its lonely optical drive remains shut out. And that is the subject my question. How do I get access to the IDE bus? My on-line research indicates that the 2.6.18 kernel should be able to access this device (see the very long thread in the Ubuntu bug forum at <https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/57502> and the Linux kernel commit log entry at <http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=15e0c694367332d7e7114c7c73044bc5fed9ee48>). Apparently there was a bug in an earlier kernel that rendered the JMicron controller inaccessible when it was paired with the Intel P965 chipset (which itself includes no legacy IDE support at all, only SATA). One thing I find odd is that this device shows up and is properly identified in the output of "lspci -vv": 03:00.0 IDE interface: JMicron Technologies, Inc.

Odd. As root: % uname -a Linux smiley 2.6.18-9-bigsmp #1 SMP Mon Oct 2 23:27:41 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux % % dmesg |egrep -i JM % % egrep -i JM /var/log/messages % % bzcat messages-20061015.bz2 |egrep JM % hwinfo --cdrom shows only my Plextor SATA drive. Is this a regression in 2.6.18-9?

No, 2.6.18-11 does also work. I think I have enabled AHCI for the JM IDE controller in the BIOS settings. I use camen@home ~ $ grep ^INITRD_MODULES /etc/sysconfig/kernel INITRD_MODULES="ahci generic fan reiserfs edd" For the disks I'm also using AHCI mode. -- Marcus

Hurrah! And thank you. Actually, I thought I'd tried this already, but what I didn't realize was that I'd changed the ICH8 SATA from IDE emulation to AHCI. I had overlooked the JMicron setting in a separate BIOS screen. When I change the ICH8 setting from IDE to AHCI, the system will not boot at all. I just see the BIOS boot screen, with nothing but a flashing underscore cursor. But if I put the ICH8 SATA setting back to IDE and change the JMicron to AHCI, I can boot from the IDE ATAPI drive (using the SuSE boot disc and ultimately booting the SCSI hard drive where the root file system resides). And I can see (as in hwinfo) and access (as in YaST Software Management, e.g.) that drive from the running system.
I use camen@home ~ $ grep ^INITRD_MODULES /etc/sysconfig/kernel INITRD_MODULES="ahci generic fan reiserfs edd"
% grep ^INITRD_MODULES /etc/sysconfig/kernel INITRD_MODULES="processor thermal ahci ata_piix generic mptspi fan reiserfs edd"
For the disks I'm also using AHCI mode.
Out of curiosity (only, since I've achieved what I want based on your advice) I wonder if these hard drives are on the ICH8 SATA buses or the JMicron SATA buses?

ICH8 Right now an Asus P5B mainboard (Intel P965) with default factory settings will neither recognize any ICH8 or IDE disk or drives nor will the network controller work with SUSE 10.2. Of course this is not SUSEs fault but a generic issue. I'm just wondering how many people buying this (mainstream !) Core-2-Duo hardware will run into these problems... -- Marcus
