No kernel module in the live CD for either sata_sil or 53c1010. Neither my SeriTek SATA controler or nor my ATTO scsi controler. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot 2. lsmod (no modules) 3. dmesg (no found drives) Actual Results: Nothing. It will only find IDE drives.

Are they under /lib/modules at all?

These are the only modules availble on the PPC live CD. /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-G4/kernel/drivers/scsi /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-G4/kernel/drivers/scsi/BusLogic.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-G4/kernel/drivers/scsi/advansys.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-G4/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-G4/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-G4/kernel/drivers/scsi/ide-scsi.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-G4/kernel/drivers/scsi/ips.ko /lib/modules/2.6.5-gentoo-G4/kernel/drivers/scsi/sr_mod.ko I have also used the x86 cd and it has drivers for these cards.
Chris: There are modules on the cd ( only the one(s) for Non-Apple SATA addon cards is/are missing. It's just a matter of adding them. ) The reason for these drivers to be missing is that there are a lot of scsi/ide drivers in the kernel config, and it's hard to figure out what -addon- cards are ppc compatible, because there aren't a lot of users using them. Same thing goes for network cards. For instance: does an Intel or d-link card work when plugged in on ppc, using a ppc machine? I'll get Jan Ornstedt a 2004.2 prerelease cd asap with the SATA drivers for his addon card enabled. I'd like to point out that the Apple SATA drivers are included, so no need for G5 users to panic :-)
Pieter, Just one more thing. I also have an ATTO scsi card with out a module as well... I believe that most PCI cards will work in a new world mac. However it is not possible to boot on non apple disk controllers. Though both my SeriTek SATA controler (sata_sil) and my ATTO ( 53c1010 ) are mac boot compatible. They have a slightly different firmware than the generic PC card which has some BIOS compatible firmware... Anyway I am perfectly happy to try and new Live CD. I would just like to add that i have sata_sil cards on an x86 box as well however I have had issues configure them to boot of the sata_sil as well. I have seen a bug here refering to that so please look into adding the same fix as for the x86 environment or it might still be problematic. /Jan
I'll enable CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL and CONFIG_FUSION on the next livecd kernel, shouldn't take that long to roll a new livecd version. I'll try to get to it tonight.
You're probably talking about http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46512 but I think that's only valid for 3114, and according to lspci you have 3112 which seems to work ok :-) I'm going to compile both drivers directly into the kernel. If that doesn't work I can always list them as modules to autoload.
Nope this is the bug I mean 51161.
Pieter, keep me informed on what's going on. Also, are you using catalyst to build your CDs? Can you send me the .spec files/kernel config once you've gotten it done?
Yes Chris, like all other archs I've started using catalyst in 2004.0. All other ppc cds before that were build using the ppc-livecd script (in my gentoo/users/pvdabeel cvs space). Note that I build releases every two days. I would have -tons- of spec files by now, instead I use a wrapper which gets rid of the stage specs (arguments passed on the fly through the command line). For GRP the only thing needed is are the names of the packages. All other stuff (like what profile to use, the version, the snapshot,...) is taken care of by the script. Are you interested in building ppc releases?
The cd is ready. Uploading. (will take a few hours). I'll post the url here when upload is complete.
Chris, I have uploaded that wrapper (a big word for a small script) here: http://www.metadistribution.org/gentoo/newrelease.sh
Thanks. I am actually just looking to make sure what we have in the catalyst CVS (and the catalyst 1.0.8 release which is coming soon) is capable of building a working release for PPC. If it all works now, then great!
What happened to that disk image? Or don't I know where to look? Regards Janne
Pieter, do the 2004.2 LiveCD's have non-Apple SATA drivers?
yep
