Subject: 2.6.24-rc1: pata_amd fails to detect 80-pin wire
After upgrading to 2.6.24-rc1 I get the message ata6.00: limited to
UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable. The 2.6.23 kernel does not complain and
activates DMA for the channel.
I'm using an nforce 4 board with the following ata devices:
channel1, master: disk IC35L120AVVA07-0 120gig
channel1, slave: dvd HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7500
channel2, master: disk IC35L120AVV207-0 120gig
channel2, slave: cdrom LITE-ON LTR-40125S
I've made sure the cable is 80-pin and tried replacing it with a
similar cable. Only channel2 gets UDMA33, channel1 works fine.
The change was introduced in 2.6.24-rc1 but also exists in 2.6.24-rc2.
It probably have something to do with the new function
ata_acpi_cbl_80wire in drivers/ata/libata-acpi.c. I've added a return
1; at the beginning of that function as a quick workaround for the
problem.
The non libata driver prints the waring "BIOS didn't set the cable
bits correctly. Enabling workaround" which is probably related to
this. However I am using the latest bios.
The thread "2.6.24-rc1: pata_acpi fails to activate DMA for DVD-ROM on
ALi M5229 secondary channel" might be related to this.
Another thing that might be related is that I get bad throughput on
the second channel disk even with my workaround but this also occurs
with older kernels and with the non libata driver.
