Description Joe Sanders 2005-10-01 03:43:08 UTC

Kernel would require the libata patch applied from the following URL in order to
support the Promise PDC20378 chipset: 
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/2.6.13-rc7-libata1.patch.bz2

Comment 1 Robert Thomas 2005-10-08 23:04:16 UTC

My PDC20378 doesn't work either.  It detects the device (Class 0104: 105a:3373
(rev 02)) and probes two ports but misses the PATA port.

Here is a dmesg log of SUSE 9.3 which works:

Comment 2 Robert Thomas 2005-10-09 22:05:43 UTC

Its fixed in kernel 2.6.13.2-2.

Comment 3 Jens Axboe 2005-10-10 11:32:33 UTC

So much the easier :-)

Comment 4 Robert Thomas 2005-10-30 00:17:51 UTC

I just downloaded and compiled the vanilla 2.6.14 kernel.  Strange, it is broke in  this release too.  So whatever patch SUSE has, it works.
