Hanging on boot when a HD is plugged at a HPT372 controller
Greetings.
I have a Soyo SY-KT333 Dragon Ultra Platinum motherboard, with a on-board IDE-RAID controller, HighPoint HPT372.
Looks like Linux detects it normally like any other IDE controller, I don't even have to use any module:
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
HPT372: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 78
HPT372: chipset revision 5
HPT372: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
HPT370: using 33MHz PCI clock
ide2: BM-DMA at 0xb400-0xb407, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
ide3: BM-DMA at 0xb408-0xb40f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 89
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:11.1. Please try using pci=biosirq.
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
VP_IDE: VIA vt8233a (rev 00) IDE UDMA133 controller on pci00:11.1
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xbc00-0xbc07, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xbc08-0xbc0f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA
hda: MAXTOR 6L080J4, ATA DISK drive
hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALLlct20 40, ATA DISK drive
hdd: LG DVD-ROM DRD-8160B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hde: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 9100, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive <- HPT 372
hdf: WDC WD200EB-3HBHF0, ATA DISK drive <- HPT 372
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
ide2 at 0xa400-0xa407,0xa802 on irq 10
hda: 156355584 sectors (80054 MB) w/1819KiB Cache, CHS=9732/255/63, UDMA(133)
hdc: 78177792 sectors (40027 MB) w/418KiB Cache, CHS=77557/16/63, (U)DMA
hdf: 391022336 sectors (20020 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=38792/16/63, UDMA(100)
Everything looks normally. But following:
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4 < hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 hda13 hda14 hda15 hda16 hda17 hda18 >
hdc: [PTBL] [4866/255/63] hdc1 hdc2
hdf:
And that's it. Hangs here. Everything hangs. It doesn't even echo the keystrokes. Only CTRL+ALT+DEL works at this point.
If I plug the hard disk on the VIA controller, it works. The problem isn't the HD or the partition table it contains. I already tried the other hard disks, and the same problem occurs.
If I unplug the harddisk off the controller, the system boots.
It looks strange that this problem is only occuring with a hard disk, and not with cd-rom drives. Notice that a cd record is plugged at /dev/hde.
I already had done some search on google and on user archives, but found nothing related.
By the way, I don't want to use RAID. I just want to use the HPT372 as an extra IDE controller. I don't even want to boot the system from it.
Anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Rodrigo
