>Organization:
self
>Environment:

	Stock 4.2-RELEASE.  Two IDE controllers on motherboard.  One
	Tertiary IDE controller installed in bus slot with 8MB IDE hard
	drive attached.

>Description:

        As the ata driver is the next generation, I tried it first.  I
     could not get it to attach my tertiary IDE controller.  Flipping back
     to the wd driver revealed that it supports it just as well as
     3.4-RELEASE did.

In 4.2 (with ATA), I have these kernel lines:

   device          ata0    at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
   device          ata1    at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
   device          ata2    at isa? port 0x1e8  irq 11 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
   device          ata
   device          atadisk                 # ATA disk drives
   device          atapicd                 # ATAPI CDROM drives
   #options        ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI_DMA    # Enable DMA on ATAPI devices

and I get these boot-ups probes related to my IDE controllers and disks:

   atapci0: <Intel PIIX3 ATA controller> port 0xe800-0xe80f at device 7.1 on
pci0
   ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0
   ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0
   ...
   ata4 at port 0x1e8-0x1ef,0x3ee irq 11 flags 0xa0ffa0ff on isa0
   ata4-master: ata_command: timeout waiting for intr
   ata4-master: identify failed
   ad0: 32253MB <IBM-DTLA-307045> [65531/16/63] at ata0-master WDMA2
   ad1: 8063MB <IBM-DTTA-350840> [16383/16/63] at ata0-slave WDMA2
   ad2: 8063MB <IBM-DHEA-38451> [16383/16/63] at ata1-master WDMA2
   acd0: DVD-ROM <Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-114 0125> at ata1-slave using
\
PIO4

you can see that the 3 hard drives and the IDE CD-ROM on the first two IDE
controllers probe fine, but we're missing the tertiary IDE controller and
the fourth hard drive.

However, with these WD kernel lines:

   device          wdc0    at isa? port "IO_WD1" irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
   device          wd0     at wdc0 drive 0
   device          wd1     at wdc0 drive 1
   device          wdc1    at isa? port "IO_WD2" irq 15 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
   device          wd2     at wdc1 drive 0
   device          wd3     at wdc1 drive 1
   device          wdc2    at isa? port "0x1e8" irq 11 flags 0xa0ffa0ff
   device          wd4     at wdc2 drive 0
   device          wcd0            #IDE CD-ROM

all 4 disks and the IDE CD-ROM work just fine (Notice the wdc2 (tertiary
IDE controller) and wd4 (5th IDE disk hanging off tertiary IDE) probes:

   ide_pci0: <Intel PIIX3 Bus-master IDE controller> port 0xe800-0xe80f at

>How-To-Repeat:

   Install a tertiary IDE controller on port 0x1e8, and use the two
   sections of kernel configs above to confirm that it works with the wdc
   driver but no the ata driver.

>Fix:

   Not known.  Work-around:  use the wdc driver for now.
