Using a Sun Ultra 5 at work

Linux Hardware Compatibility Guide (2007 HOWTO)

Before posting questions about Linux hardware, it is a good idea to check the Linux Hardware HOWTO guide (Last Update: 2007-05-22) However, this HOWTO has not been maintained since 2007 and it out-of-date.

viaide

VIAIDE(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 VIAIDE(4)

NAME

     viaide -- AMD, NVIDIA and VIA IDE disk controllers driver

SYNOPSIS

     viaide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000
     options PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA

DESCRIPTION

     The viaide driver supports the following IDE controllers and provides the interface with the hardware for the ata driver:
	   -   Advanced Micro Devices AMD-756, 766, 768 and CS5536 IDE Controllers
	   -   NVIDIA nForce, nForce2, nForce2 400, nForce3, nForce3 250, nForce4, MCP04, MCP55, MCP61, MCP65, MCP67 IDE and SATA Controllers.
	   -   VIA Technologies VT82C586, VT82C586A, VT82C596A, VT82C686A, VT8233A, VT8235, VT8237/VT8237R IDE Controllers, VT6421 Serial RAID
	       Controller and CX700 IDE Controller.

     The 0x0002 flag forces the viaide driver to disable DMA on chipsets for which DMA would normally be enabled.  This can be used as a debugging
     aid, or to work around problems where the IDE controller is wired up to the system incorrectly.

SEE ALSO

     ata(4), atapi(4), intro(4), pci(4), pciide(4), wd(4), wdc(4)

NOTES

     Drives on the VT6421 Serial RAID Controller can only be accessed after they have been configured into RAID or JBOD sets via its BIOS.  It is
     also inaptly named as it has both SATA and PATA interfaces.

BUGS

     The AMD756 chip revision D2 has a bug affecting DMA (but not Ultra-DMA) modes.  The workaround documented by AMD is to not use DMA on any
     drive which does not support Ultra-DMA modes.  This does not appear to be necessary on all drives, the PCIIDE_AMD756_ENABLEDMA option can be
     used to force multiword DMA on the buggy revisions.  Multiword DMA can eventually be disabled on a per-drive basis with config flags, see
     wd(4).  The bug, if triggered, will cause a total system hang.

     The timings used for the PIO and DMA modes for controllers listed above are for a PCI bus running at 30 or 33 MHz.  This driver may not work
     properly on overclocked systems.
