I have a Qosmio G25 with this same(or similar) chipset with the sata
raid, yes it has 2 hard drives, and I have the exact same problem.
Ubuntu does not see the hard drives. This laptop rocks, but it is kind
of depressing to not be able to use my favorite distro on it. I have
been stuck with windows on it for the time being.

Getting Ubuntu on this machine would rock so hard!!!

Thanks,

Matt

P.S. - I am patiently awaiting working dapper install CD's so that I
can try with the 2.6.15 kernel directly and will certainly let you
guys know how it goes.

CDROM not working with kernel 2.6.15-6-686

Hi there!

I just upgraded to -6-686 kernel and that works way better than the -5-686 one 
(I no longer see soft lockup messages about CPU#0.

Unfortunately my SATA CDROM drive no longer works. It did well with the 2.6.12 
kernel series from ubuntu. Ben asked me to provide the attached data for you 
guys to chew on 

Is there anything else I can do to help with tracking down this problem?

Best Regards,
Tobias Hunger

Also, try add this line to /etc/mkinitramfs/modules

libata atapi_enabled=1

and run "update-initramfs -u"

That works! Thanks for the hint!

Please do not hesitate to ask me if you need somebody doing some SATA testing.

Aehm... how do I blacklist ide_generic with the new udev scheme?

I have an ata update for 2.6.15-7.9, but in the mean time can you send
me "cat /proc/iomem" and "cat /proc/interrupts".

Also, try blacklisting ide_generic. I have the sneaking suspicion that
ide_generic is grabbing resources for which it cannot handle, making it
hard for ata_piix to do so.

As far as I see this isn't kernel bug. CDROM stoped working here to, on
all 15-*-686 kernels, and it did work before. Something else is the
problem. udev?

OK, but how do we fix this permanently for everyone?

-7.9 changelog holds the answer to your question :)

Basically, I've set atapi_enabled=1 by default. It's disabled for
drivers known to be broken in this regard. So, like CDROM DMA, we're
going to see how it goes. I talked to Jeff Garzik, and he's probably
going to accept this patch (and move it upstream into 2.6.15).
