No booting with a Silicon Image 3112 SATA-Controller

[Markus Wagner]

Hi,

I got a PCI SATA-Controller with the SiI 3112 Chipset. I tried to get it 
running with 

2.4.19-ac4-ide ( from linux-ide.org )
2.4.20-ac1 and -ac2.

The support for the controller is compiled directly into the kernel.

Since I dont have a SATA-HDD, I am using a SATA to PATA dongle with an IBM 
DTLA 307030 HDD.

When booting the 2.4.20-ac1/-ac2 kernel, the boot process stops at 

VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 132k freed

with no further action.

With Kernel 2.4.19-ac4-ide the system booted and crashed shortly after.

I tried the "ide=reveresed" kernel option with all kernels used.

Some info about my system:
MoBo: ECS Elitegroup K7S5A with AMD Athlon C 1400 ( SiS 735 Chipset )
The HDD ( IBM DTLA-307030 ) works without failure when using the onboard 
Controller.

I tried to remove the network and the sound card to get a unique interrupt for 
the controller but that didn't change things.

This is the Screen-Output when booting 2.4.20-ac2:
