Hi, my hw needs at least kernel 2.6.14. any chance to get this working with current patch file and kernel config ? Thank you, Peter.
Re: Need OpenVZ with kernel >= 2.6,14
my hw needs at least kernel 2.6.14 What makes you think so? If it is some drivers etc. - we have backported a lot of drivers to our kernel, so either just try it out (and file a bug if it is not working), or you can look up your hardware in the HCL.
Hi Kir, many thanks for your reply. > What makes you think so? I install current kernel RPM on a Fedora 3 dedicated root server from remote. Then the server does not boot. (The only thing i can see from remote is there is nothing in /var/log/dmesg). Install procedure gives warning about module raid1 not available (but i thinkt it is build-in). The hosting company recomend when kernel is changed to change to at least 2.6.14, hw may not work with other, they said.
Looks like you have some troubles with initrd image creation. Try to run mkinitrd manually with --builtin=raid1 option Thank you, Vasily Averin
Probably they told you so just because don't want to bother with it... Please, try what Vasiliy wrote to you and if it doesn't help, then send us an output of lspci and lspci -n commands output, so we could check what hardware is it and by which driver it is supported.
I do have exactly the same problem. Unfortunately some of the newer Fujitsu Siemens machines seem to make use of an SiS SATA chipset which is only supported in >2.6.14(.2?). Theres also a bug report in bugzilla, #81. However i'd very much appreciate a quick fix for this problem... sher:~# lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0761 (rev 01) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SG86C202 0000:00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS965 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 48) 0000:00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] (rev 01) 0000:00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 0000:00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 0000:00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 0000:00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller 0000:00:05.0 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0182 (rev 01) 0000:00:06.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 000a 0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Antarion, could you please send us lspci -n output and tell us the version of driver with support your hardware. thank you, Vasily Averin
BTW, does RHEL4 update 2 work with your hardware?
I've not been able to try an installation with RHEL4 yet. Current CentOS failed miserably though. -Torsten
hello Torsten, Our default policy is do not update any drivers over than ones from latest RHEL4 kernel due stability reasons. But you can backport this driver himself. If the driver will work correct on your node, please send us the patch and probably we'll include it into our next kernels. Thank you, Vasily Averin
Antario, can you please try these patches from OSDL bugzilla? if they help we'll definetely include them in next official kernel build. If you are unfamiliar with kernel/patching/building, I can help you to build it though not very quickly feel free to ask!
Dev, the mandriva patch ( http://bugme.osdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=6133&action=view) applied perfectly against an ovz patched 2.6.8 kernel. The System also seems to recognize the sata controller as well as the attached harddisks. However it immediately panics after starting up the raid which is, i believe, related to some sillyness on my end. If i can get the box to boot tomorrow i'll get back to you lot within the next few days. Thanks a lot! -Torsten
Hello, after some days of testing the system seems to work stable with the supplied patch above. I'll be performing some additional testing, if you wish to run some test on the hostnode please drop me a PM. sata_sis: Detected SiS 182 chipset ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x14B0 ctl 0x14A6 bmdma 0x1490 irq 17 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x14A8 ctl 0x14A2 bmdma 0x1498 irq 17 ata1: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:7c6b 83:7f09 84:4673 85:7c69 86:3e21 87:4663 88:007f ata1: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 398297088 sectors: lba48 ata1: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133 scsi0 : sata_sis ata2: dev 0 cfg 49:2f00 82:7c6b 83:7f09 84:4673 85:7c69 86:3e21 87:4663 88:007f ata2: dev 0 ATA, max UDMA/133, 398297088 sectors: lba48 ata2: dev 0 configured for UDMA/133 scsi1 : sata_sis Using anticipatory io scheduler Vendor: ATA Model: Maxtor 6L200M0 Rev: BACE Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Vendor: ATA Model: Maxtor 6L200M0 Rev: BACE Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 05 -Torsten
Thanks a lot for testing! I will include the patch in next kernel if everything is ok. Please, report results of your testing when finished.
