Andre, Thanks so much for the reply. In my case I am using a BE6 motherboard made my ABIT. This mother board has all 4 IDE channels build into it, so there is no PCI card. However when looking at the way the BIOS acts, I think the motherboard emulates a PCI card with this chipset. So even though there is no plugin card, everything may look as if there is from a software point of view. At the moment here is my current setup. which works at UDMA33:
IDE1----------------Hard Drive(pri)--------CD rom(sec) IDE2----------------Hard Drive(pri)--------Hard Drive(sec) IDE3---- (unattached) IDE4---- (unattached) Now if I try hooking up an additional hard drive to either IDE3 or IDE4 as follows, the system hangs:
IDE1----------------Hard Drive(pri)--------CD rom(sec) IDE2----------------Hard Drive(pri)--------Hard Drive(sec) IDE3----------------Hard Drive(pri) IDE4---- (unattached) At the moment, I am not trying to boot off the IDE3 or IDE4 drive. Below is the point at which the boot process stops:
HPT366: onboard version of chipset, pin1=1 pin2=2 HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 98 HPT366: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide2: BM-DMA at 0xe000-0xe007, BIOS settings: hde:DMA, hdf:pio HPT366: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 99 HPT366: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide3: BM-DMA at 0xec00-0xec07, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio hda: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA18.2, ATA DISK drive hdb: CD-532E-B, ATAPI CDROM drive hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA18.2, ATA DISK drive hdd: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA18.2, ATA DISK drive hde: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA18.2, ATA DISK drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 ide2 at 0xd800-0xd807,0xdc02 on irq 11 hda: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA18.2, 17624MB w/371kB Cache, CHS=2246/255/63, UDMA(33) hdc: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA18.2, 17624MB w/371kB Cache, CHS=35808/16/63, UDMA(33) hdd: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KA18.2, 17624MB w/371kB Cache, CHS=35808/16/63, UDMA(33) (hang)
Please let me know what the next step is.
Best Regards, Robert Laughlin
