The "long boot process problem" is finally solved. I bought a Manhattan sil3512 card. Unlike the Syba card, the Manhattan worked with no problems whatsoever. I now boot fast.

A riser card like that is just an extension cable so I am sure that the problem is a loose connection or incorrect uboot setting. I have no problems with the new Uboot and my PCIE riser . I checked the connections from the riser to PCI and riser to 3114 card. I tried unplugging and plugging the ris...

Good day, For a few years, I used a PCI riser card like the one mentioned above, with my dual slot HD 4850. Recently, I ditched the riser card in favor of a Thermalright HR-03 GT wrap around cooler for my graphics card. It keeps the card very cool and opens up the PCI slot. I recently used my PCI r...

Indeed that is a PC luxury. Yet, I have a dusty old PC with which I can do things like flashing a BIOS. With that said, I put the 3114 in that dusty PC and found that I have the correct type of BIOS and a fairly recent version. I guess the long wait is normal for UBoot and a 3114? As I've said, afte...

I'd like to check one more thing concerning the long SATA initialization process during UBoot. While researching the SIL 3114, I noticed various people had problems depending on what BIOS the card was using (SATALink, RAID0, RAID5, etc.). What BIOS would work best with the UBoot driver and the Amiga...

The company that sold me the 3512 said that they had tested it and found it to be in working order. I did some more research on the web. After reading that the 3512 had problems with Seagate drives, I decided to try the 3512 without my Amiga HD (a Western Digital HD mind you) attached. I put the HD ...

Good day Steady, I have tried various configurations of nvsetvar sii3114ide_conf. No matter how I've set it, or to what ports I 've attached the drives, I've had timeouts. I'm getting somewhat used to it now. It may take a long time to get past the UBoot screen, but my disk speed is blazing fast onc...

I received my sii3512 card today. After putting the card in, I set the UBoot boot devices to 3X12 DVD and 3x12 HD. I exited to a prompt and deleted the sii3114ide stuff using setenv/saveenv. I then tried to boot. I had no timeouts. Yehaw! It screamed through the kickstart kmods. Yehaw! Then it hange...

I am guessing that ports 0 and 1 are primary masters and ports 2 and 3 are slaves. With SATA, there are no masters or slaves, all disks are equal. Best regards, Niels Well, Niels, that is what I would have thought. Yet, having read the documentation (SYS:Documentation/IDE/sii3114ide_dev.doc)... - s...
