Subject:   can't install anything higher than 4.5-R on Gigabyte SR101
Message-ID:  <20030114073226.GI17839@cyclonus.mozone.net>

Hi,

I apologize in advance if I am directing this to the wrong address,
but I am assuming that since you are requesting that you get feedback
about tentative releases and their compatibility on different 
platforms, it would be okay to email the qa@ address.  Anyways, the
problem:

We haven't been able to install anything greater than 4.5-RELEASE on the 
Gigabyte SR101(T) rackmount servers.  A link to the product can be found
below:

http://networking.gigabyte.com.tw

I've included dmesg output from both 4.5-RELEASE and (the post MFC ata code)
4.6-RC for your reference (along with Soeren's debug data).

I believe there are open PRs on the issue (can't recall what #s), but they
haven't been addressed.  Emails to Soeren have also gone unanswered past
the initial attempt at identifying the problem (circa 7+ months ago.)

Perhaps this is one of those "we could care less about this configuration or
controller" issues.  If so, it would be most appreciated if you'd make the
appropriate note/addendum/errata in the hardware compatibility list 
indicating that the support for the PDC20265 (Promise FastTrack100)
controller is lacking.  I'm not sure if the PDC20265 works at all for that
matter even in an add-on-card configuration.  If this is not the case, and
there is hope of this issue being resolved, then it would be also 
appreciated if someone can followup on the problem.  If need be, I can open
a brand new PR.

We've been desperate to get a bunch of servers that we have had in the
field upgraded, but have been unable to because of this 8+ month lingering
problem. (Again, 4.5-R works, but anything past the massive ata-fudge-mfc
in 4.5-stable circa march 2002 triggers the problem.)

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Mohan
