It works for me after applying the mptable fix for the s2892. It now sees a SATA port that it didn't used to. Thanks.

Thanks, r3253.
I don't have an s2891 to try it on. Are there other boards we should apply the fix to? s2895 etc.
From the looks of it, these boards have the same bug:
tyan s2892 tyan s2895 sun ultra40
Since you've already tested an s2892, I'd be happy to supply a patch and you can ack it? Same for s2895 - you have that hardware right?
Here's the patch for the s2892 that I used. When my s2895 has some down time I'll can check it. I'd feel fine about just committing it since it uses the same chipset and has the same problem.

Anyone got a sun ultra40 with sata problems to test this patch on?
Myles - have you ever run bonnie++ on your s2892 or s2895? Or noticed poor sata performance? I'd really like to solve that multi-mode problem...
I haven't. It's too bad you can't turn off multimode in the proprietary BIOS to see if that's really the issue.
