Whoa, I don't know how I let this one slip by... Did you manage to get SATA
working, by chance? That was a show stopper for me, but I haven't been able
to diagnose it.

I did not get the second set of two SATA ports working, but I did
get the first set working.  Also, I didn't get the audio to work.

Sure, I could spend centuries twiddling the PCI Configuration Space,
but that doesn't seem like my idea of fun.  Reading publicly available
documentation seems like a lot more fun.  ;-)   So, basically, I'm
saying it's beyond my power to fix.  Unless NVIDIA is going to have
a change of heart on Valentines Day.  But I'm not holding my breath.

Sigh.

Aha. This is another example of the ck804 sata issues.

You may want to have a look at this

  ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/linuxbios/h8dce/SOURCE

That's another ck804-based board, and I suspect that all sata ports on both
controllers work there.

Thanks,
Ward.

It would be great if someone could invest time to inspect all of
ftp://ftp.lnxi.com/pub/linuxbios/ and tell us which unmerged boards we
can find there and which svn revision they are based on.

Maybe we can salvage a few targets and increase our supported base.

Huh, well, I now have *all* the SATA ports working. I also fixed the
audio.

The magic with the audio is to `#define CK804_USE_ACI 1`.  This
should fix any ck804 board with audio, probably including the a8n-e.

I should probably update the patch and get it to work with coreboot
v2 svn.

Have you benchmarked SATA performance? I'm curious if you can run a quick
"time dd" kind of benchmark. I was only getting around 2MB/sec. Then again,
I had not applied this magic at the time.

I get a normal 80mbyte/s or so out of it here.
I'd assume you had an interrupts issue.

That's very possible -- My pirq table didn't look nearly as nice as yours!
