ata_piix limits hard disk to 8GB on Thinkpad R50p
Last modified: 2007-09-26 09:08:23 UTC
RC1 limits the harddisk in my Thinkpad R50p to 8GB. hdparm shows the same amount of sectors for CHS and for LBA. As a result I don't see my extended partitions. It worked in alpha 5 and beta 3. From alpha5: # hdparm -i /dev/sda /dev/sda: Model=HTS726060M9AT00 , FwRev=MH4OA6DA, SerialNo= MRH453M4H4SXWB Config={ HardSect NotMFM HdSw>15uSec Fixed DTR>10Mbs } RawCHS=16383/16/63, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=4 BuffType=DualPortCache, BuffSize=7877kB, MaxMultSect=16, MultSect=?16?

Created attachment 173724 [details] hwinfo from RC1
affected module is ata_piix
brokenmodules=ata_piix gives me back the full capacity.
can reproduce on another R50p
hmm, we updated the stack for other hardware. But as a work around exists for this problem, I downgrade
Andreas, please post kernel boot log. Stephan, I think this is the second report regarding HPA although I don't see how b3 -> rc1 changed anything. HPA change occurred during b2->b3. I think this really should be a blocker bug. Do you mind if I upgrade to blocker?
