3w_9xxx drive/lenny kernel

by Nicholas Materer :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I just updated a system from etch to lenny.  With either the
linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 or the linux-image-2.6.22-3-amd64 kernel, my
3w_9xxxx raid controller did not function.  On the console, lines and lines
of PCI parity error are reported.  The 2.6.18-6-amd64 from etch works fine,
even after the system is updated.  Unfortunately, the system boots off the
raid (not the best idea) so I need to make more effect to capture the exact
errors.  Did not learn much from Googling.  Has anyone had similar
experiences with the 3w_9xxx card?

Did you upgraded the 3ware kernel module?

Its only an idea, all my boxes with 3ware running 2.6.18, too.

I have been running 3ware 9550's on lenny for over six months without issue with the 2.6.22 and .2.6.24 kernels.

What model card are you running?

What version of firmware on the card?

Peter, you reminded me that some time ago I had to upgrade the firmware to get the system to work.  My card is a model 9500S-4LP with a firmware (from show ver with the tw_ctl tool)
CLI Version = 2.00.07.003
API Version = 2.04.00.003
CLI Compatible Range = [2.00.00.001 to 2.00.07.003]

It looks like there is a new version of the firmware.  I try an upgrade tonight.

Thanks

RE: 3w_9xxx drive/lenny kernel/AMD64 Problem

by Nicholas Materer :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

It looks like my problem is AMD64 specific.  The
debian-LennyBeta2-i386-netinst.iso install image recognizes the card
correctly.  However, the debian-LennyBeta2-amd64-netinst.iso install image
has the same problems that I have with booting my system after upgrading the
kernel to the 2.6.24 or 2.6.20 version.

In addition, I do not think that this problem is due to the 3w_9xxx driver.
I updated to the firmware on my card to the latest version with no success.
I complied latest the driver from the 3ware web site - some problem.  I also
complied the driver from the 2.6.18 kernel source (had to make two trivial
patches due to a change in the scatterlist structure).  They all failed with
the same errors - PCI Parity Error, PCI Abort and Controller Queue Error.
These error are printed from the routine twa_decode_bits in the driver -
"This function will print readable messages from status register errors".

I guess I have an AMD64 specific regression affecting the PCI-X buss on my
Thunder K8WE board.  I guess that I need to boot off a non-raid boot disk
and collect the system log with both a i386 and an AMD64 system.

Markus, I am using the standard debian kernel.  I just to see that it
was installed correctly.

Peter, you reminded me that some time ago I had to upgrade the firmware
to get the system to work.  My card is a model 9500S-4LP with a firmware
(from show ver with the tw_ctl tool)
CLI Version = 2.00.07.003
API Version = 2.04.00.003
CLI Compatible Range = [2.00.00.001 to 2.00.07.003]

It looks like there is a new version of the firmware.  I try an upgrade
tonight.

Thanks
Nick

I have been running 3ware 9550's on lenny for over six months without
issue with the 2.6.22 and .2.6.24 kernels.

What model card are you running?

What version of firmware on the card?

Subject: 3w_9xxx drive/lenny kernel

I just updated a system from etch to lenny.  With either the
linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64 or the linux-image-2.6.22-3-amd64 kernel, my
3w_9xxxx raid controller did not function.  On the console, lines and
lines
of PCI parity error are reported.  The 2.6.18-6-amd64 from etch works
fine,
even after the system is updated.  Unfortunately, the system boots off
the
raid (not the best idea) so I need to make more effect to capture the
exact
errors.  Did not learn much from Googling.  Has anyone had similar
experiences with the 3w_9xxx card?

Thanks for everyone's help.

After capturing the bootup log for different kernels using a serial console,
it was clear that the AMD64 2.6.22 and 2.6.24 kernels were choking while
allocating resources for the pci busses.  One of the symptoms (MAC address
of FF:FF ... for one of the internet controllers) match one fixed by a bios
update.  My motherboard bios was 1.01 with the most recent one being 1.05.
Updating to the most recent motherboard bios, fixed the problem.

Some AMD86 related change between kernels 2.6.20 and 2.6.22 interacted badly
with the 1.01 bios on the Thunder K8WE (S2895) board.  It seems to be ACPI
related.  It many effected the PCI-100 and PCI-X 64bit connectors plus one
of the internet controllers.
