Thread-topic: Xen and Promise SATA

Hey all,

 

I’ve been trying for several days to get my Promise TX4 SATA controller to work properly under xen but I’m running into some road blocks.

I’m running centos 4.2, and have been successful getting it work without issue under a 2.6.9-22.0.2 kernel with the promise gpl’ed driver code.

The main drive is IDE so I have no issues booting the other SATA drives will make a raid 5 mount for my domU’s.

When I try to recompile the driver for the xen kernel it compiles without errors but when I try to “modprobe ulsata2” the system detects the Promise card and the 3 drives but then gives failed and read message and reboots citing a kernel bug. (see log below)

 

Supposedly this card is supported under the sata_promise module but I have tried several times without success.

 

Any help is appreciated

John
