Hi,
we've got a new computer with the following hardware:
MS-5169 Motherboard, AL9 Ver: 2 (newest BIOS) AMD-K6-II CPU, 128MB RAM IBM DHEA 36481 (6.4 GB HD) TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-6202
Now, I am having trouble getting Linux to install, because the system hangs after a while with
hda: irq timeout: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }
messages if I use a 2.0.34 kernel.
Using a 2.1.111 kernel I get the message that the PCI_IDE controller is unknown (it is correctly identified in /proc/pci as a M5229 TX Pro chipset).
Now, still the system locks up after a few minutes (even faster with the 2.1 kerbel) and tells me:
hda: lost interrupt
From what I understand (after reading most of the messages here) is that that chipset is not fully supported and thus the initialization is broken. The hdparm gives me information that I believe is wrong (almost all features set to off).
I do not get any further PCI_IDE: messages except the one about the unknown IDE controller and that the IDE is not 100% native mode, probing irq's later. That is all. The drives seem to be detected correctly, but the hd doesn't work for very long.
