regression: ide-floppy doesn't work with IOMEGA IDE ZIP drive

Hello, all.

Stanislav Brabec reported that IOMEGA IDE ZIP drive doesn't work with recent kernels. Low level driver is via82cxxx. Relevant part of 2.6.20.1 boot message follows.

VP_IDE: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:11.1

And the device is inaccessible after boot completed. On suse 10.1 kernel (2.6.16 based), it works better.

There is one lost interrupt message but the drive reportedly works fine after that. Stanislav also seems to recall that ide-floppy worked without any error message with older kernel.

I'm attaching full boot log messages for 2.6.20.1 and suse 10.1.

Any ideas?

[libata]
And, as the device requires custom high level driver, libata fails miserably. Would it be worth to try support these devices? Or are they just too outdated to put the effort in?

Thanks.

Hello.

BTW... I've looked at that code last spring and found it strange that
ide-floopy is the only driver that still calls dma_start() method *before* issuing a command *while this is not a right thing to do accoring to spec and is known to not work with some chips, namely Promise). I was going to send a patch then but lacking both time and actual hardware, kept deferring it since... :-)

MBR, Sergei

Hi,

We are probably hitting two bugs here:

* regression between 2.6.16-2.6.20

* the issue that Sergei described

Stanislav, could you use git bisect to narrow down the problem to the specific patch?

Good practical example of using git-bisect is here:
http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/archives/2006/01/using-git-bisect-to-find-buggy-kernel-patches/

Thanks,
Bart

What SCSI peripheral device type does it report, when booted under libata?

Jeff

P.S. As an aside, this reminds to unpack the SATA tape drive I was handed many moons ago, and test it with libata.

Libata works well with my zip 100 drive since 2.6.18 or even earlier. I just test it again with 2.6.20.3, it looks good on detection (except the "abnormal status 0x7F on port 0xE08895DF" warning):

Hmmm... weird. Your drive bears the same model name as Stanislav's. I don't think the low level driver is causing the difference. They both use the standard libata HSM implementation. Any ideas? Stanislav, can you try to connect that zip drive to another IDE controller?

Thanks.

Maybe it's also worth a try to replace the medium, cable or even the drive itself to rule out the possibility of hardware problem.
