Hi, I'm having a problem getting my sata disks to be detected in AHCI mode on a Via VT8251 controller. It is supposed to be supported with the native AHCI driver but it's not working. It looks like the controller is detected but it does not recognize the drives that are attached to it. I installed the OS on an IDE drive in order to get the box running.
Here is what I'm using: SunOS hoya 5.11 snv_64a i86pc i386 i86pc, in 64bit. My motherboard is a Asus A8V-XE which is based on a VIA VT8251 with 4 sata connections. On each of those, there is a Hitachi HDS722525VLSA80 connected and none of them is recognized. They are, only when I configure the bios in IDE mode. I tried another type of drive (Seagate) just to make sure it was not this model that had a problem but without success. There is no AHCI messages in /var/adm/messages. I attached prtconf -pv as reference as well as cfgadm -al. Another problem I experienced is a system panic whenever I disconnect a sata cable from a drive when the system is running. That gets written in messages: ------------------------ Aug 27 18:48:59 hoya ahci: [ID 812726 kern.info] NOTICE: ahci phyrdy: port 0 device link lost Aug 27 18:48:59 hoya genunix: [ID 335743 kern.notice] BAD TRAP: type=e (#pf Page fault) rp=ffffff0007cd58e0 addr=10 occurred in module "ahci" due to a NULL pointer dereference Aug 27 18:48:59 hoya genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] ffffff0007cd5a50 ahci:ahci_mop_commands+31a () Aug 27 18:48:59 hoya genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] ffffff0007cd5ac0 ahci:ahci_reject_all_abort_pkts+b4 () Aug 27 18:48:59 hoya genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] ffffff0007cd5b60 ahci:ahci_intr_phyrdy_change+164 () Aug 27 18:48:59 hoya genunix: [ID 655072 kern.notice] ffffff0007cd5bc0 ahci:ahci_intr+1b3 () Aug 27 18:55:59 hoya savecore: [ID 570001 auth.error] reboot after panic: BAD TRAP: type=e (#pf Page fault) rp=ffffff0007cd58e0 addr=10 occurred in module "ahci" due to a NULL pointer dereference ---------------------- Very strange as the disk is not in use. I could send the corefile if someone is willing to have a look. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks This message posted from opensolaris.org
