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:

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.
