OK, so I''m no noobie to linux, and I finally got softraid and SATA and LVM and AMD64 somewhat behaving. Now the goal is to have Xen on this athon64 also (3000). I have a Promise TX2 card with 2 300GB SATA 2. If I build the kernel with arch=x86_64 and disable Xen, all is good. Drives are detected and raid comes up and ACPI has virtual IRQ''s for the promise controller. But if I set the arch to x86-xen, and enable Xen, I get the exact same problem as was posted in this message: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-06/msg00227.html basically the following bad stuff happens and it doesn''t see the SATA disks: ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFE00 ctl 0xFE12 bmdma 0xFEA0 irq 5 ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xFE20 ctl 0xFE32 bmdma 0xFEA8 irq 5 ata1: dev 0 ATA-6, max UDMA/133, 78125000 sectors: LBA ata1: qc timeout (cmd 0xef) <-- bad Now, I would like to get this running, as I put probably 50 hours fighting with raid/lvm/amd64 testing for bad hardware, 3 different boards, etc (still can''t pull a drive suddenly and not have it crash). What''s killing me is that it seems something to do with ACIP. Irq steering? I think this is 2.6.16.18 (gentoo). What would you like to see? the dmesg when it doesn''t work may be a pain...

Also gentoo - perahps they are patching the source with something that''s casing problems Did you solve it? -- Ian P.
