proxmox 6.3-3 kernel 5.4.78-2-pve lack libata.force kernel parameter

[jsetzer]

Hello,

after installtion pve 6.3-3 with kernel 5.4.78-2-pve I got problemes with two disks connected to ASM1062. (The two SSDs are conntect to Intel chipset, the big data disks are conntected to the ASM1062.) The chip is know for timing problems so I dected and eleminates the errors on ubuntu and debian using libata.force=3:1.5G,4:1.5G kernel parameter.
So I thougth, I only have to add these paramter to the pve grub ...

BUT the pve kernel is not configured (CONFIG_ATA_FORCE) to recognize this parameter.

So I try to build a pve-kernel on my on:
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/proxmox/pve-kernel
and update the changelog and manipulate the debian/rules (adding -e CONFIG_ATA_FORCE \)
and call make.

But it is not possible to build the kernel package because the zfsonlinux repository is no accessable (with my github account).

Is there a change to get a pve-kernel with enabled libata.force parameter?
Or how to build a pve kernel on my on?

Thanks for your help,
best regards

Jan Setzer

that KConfig was only introduced with kernels >= 5.6, before that libata.force was always baked into the kernel.. its default is also yes, it is likely only disabled in practice for very small architectures where the space savings can be worth it for some use cases..
