Yes, according to my coworker, Windows Embedded boots fine. And the
system boots via the card, with syslinux loading the kernel/initrd from the
card, so I don't know why it wouldn't be ready.

As I mentioned before, 'sdparm --command=capacity /dev/sda' initially
fails, but will succeed after 'sdparm --command=start /dev/sda'. However,
even though capacity works after the start command, attempts to access the
card continue to fail (e.g fdisk -l /dev/sda).

 Ok. So how would I figure out what mptsas is looking at to determine how to
 treat it? Or is there some kernel param I can pass that says sda=sdcard or
 soemthing?

What is the version of mptsas driver?

It seems that the mptsas's driver can't recognize the the type of SD
card and treat it as normal hard disk drive.

kernel cant access SATA adapter device

2013-10-16 Thread Robert Story
Hi,

I've got a SATA adapter for a SD card in a Dell Poweredge R610. The BIOS
can see and boot the sdcard, (to Windows, or using syslinux/extlinux), but
when it hands over control to the Linux kernel, the kernel cannot access it.

Here's an excerpt from dmesg:

scsi 0:0:2:0: Direct-Access ATA  FC-1307 SD to CF 1.1  PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
