Summary0000984: sata_uli devicel driver request
DescriptionThe description is, it seems I like retro computing...
I left a more discursive description with bug 16971 on CentOS bug tracker

Please could a driver for the above sata_uli be custom rolled?

Thank you.
Additional Informationhttps://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16971

It looks like nvidia bought out ALI/ ULI some time back and keep some antique source here:

Acknowledged. We will publish it to the testing repo when it's ready.

Do you also need a DUD image?

The following files/packages have been built and will be syncing to our mirror sites:

DUD
  dd-sata_uli-1.3-1.el8_1.elrepo.iso
  dd-sata_uli-1.3-1.el8_1.elrepo.SHA256SUM

kmod (elrepo-testing repo)
  kmod-sata_uli-1.3-1.el8_1.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Please test and let us know if they work for you.

I can confirm this works.

I seem to have had a bit of side issue with dnf, but I'm not sure that's relevant here.

I know how to use dnf...

$ sudo dnf install kmod-sata_uli-1.3-1.el8_1.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Anyway, d/l the rpm and local install works:

So, there's no problem with the module/ rpm.

I just noticed there's been kernel an upgrade to x86_64 4.18.0-147.5.1.el8_1.centos.plus but I guess this didn't get into that as I've only just replied?

I stand corrected, I see it has gone into 4.18.0-147.5.1.el8_1.centos.plus.x86_64
Thank you

kernel-plus--4.18.0-147.5.1.el8_1.centos.plus has SATA_ULI enabled (I updated the CentOS ticket).

With your positive feedback, I will promote the kmod package to the main repo.

No issue here, just need to specify the package name only (not including the version-release):

$ sudo dnf install kmod-sata_uli

You can specify the version-release. Just do not add the .rpm part.
