How to access SATA RAID controllers Hard Disk in QNX 6.5 SP1   
Hi,

I have a HP Z420 machine , which have RAID bus controller: Intel Corporation C600/X79 series chipset SATA RAID 
Controller (rev 05). I am   running QNX 6.5 SP1 in this machine. I want to know the driver  & options to use this hard 
disk. 

Please let me know.

Regards,
Manas

That message occurs when no SATA device is plugged in - or perhaps if BIOS is set for IDE-emulation.

The only way a RAID unit is going to be seen is if the RAID logic is implemented in hw and the hw presents a single SATA
 cable to QNX.  QNX does not do the RAID logic.

In Bios i have configured them for Non-RAID. So i see 3 disks (/dev/sda, /dev/sdb & /dev/sdc). To access the same 
devices in QNX, which driver should i use , devb-ahci ??

Yes, devb-ahci - as long as IDE-emulation is turned off in BIOS.

Now i got one IDE controller connected. The "pci" output shows the device , but "devb-eide" is not starting. Please see 
the output below.

# pci

PCI version    = 0.02

Class          = Mass Storage (IDE)
Vendor ID      = 8086h, Intel Corporation
Device ID      = 1d3ch, Unknown Unknown
PCI index      = 0h
BAR - 0 [I/O]  = e0b0h enabled
BAR - 1 [I/O]  = e0a0h enabled
BAR - 2 [I/O]  = e090h enabled
BAR - 3 [I/O]  = e080h enabled
BAR - 4 [I/O]  = e070h enabled
PCI Int Pin    = INT C
Interrupt line = 18
CPU Interrupt  = 12h

# devb-eide &
81932 running devb-eide
# xpt_configure:  No eide interfaces found

81932 exited with status 0

Are you running apic or legacy?  Have you tried both?  (The CD is "bios" - does it work?)
