Sun Blade 100 - boot issue

[Nataraj M Basappa-2]

hi,
 i am new to sparc hardware, just found this isse after setting up
lenny using netboot install.
default kernal options on the stock kernel fails (see attached txt -
withoutdma.txt), if i add ide=nodma boots correctly. is this a known
issue? (as i found on some ubuntu forums)
let me know if more info is required. below is lspci output

Please file a bug report against the kernel package that is in use there.
It's strange that nothing is shown as the reason for the kernel panic...

I'm not an expert, but I have had Debian on a SunBlade 100 for a while.
I have always needed to use the ide=nodma option to get it to boot,
although the symptoms of allowing it to try DMA have varied from kernel
to kernel. Usually the boot process just hangs rather than doing the
kernel panic that you observe.

A machine without DMA is tiresomely slow. I started with SPARCs because
I could rescue them from the pile of machines that were being retired
from work. But we are now throwing out PCs which are faster than the
SunBlade 100 (and on which DMA works!), so I think the time is coming
when my last SPARC box will be retired.

Best of luck

Hugh

I googled a bit and it looks like the ALi 15x3 IDE controller/driver has
had various issues with Sun Blades over the years:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7294
https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/bugme-new/2005-April/012164.html
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-25/0049.html

The latest incarnation of the driver even says:

 * pata_ali.c   - ALI 15x3 PATA for new ATA layer
 * based in part upon
 * linux/drivers/ide/pci/alim15x3.c             Version 0.17    2003/01/02

 *  TODO/CHECK
 *      Review Sunblade workaround.

I'm sending this to the IDE list - what is the status of this driver,
and what can the users do to help?

     2. That which causes joy or happiness.

Short of someone with a Sunblade and suitable documentation probably not
a lot. The libata driver has some sunblade workarounds but I simply didn't
have documentation on the Sun side of it sufficient to complete the job

One possibility to get relevant documentation would be to request controller
specs via Sun FOSS hardware docs website:

Unfortunately the guy doing nearly all of the actual legwork
on that left Sun several months ago.
