Alan> It happened because you ran 2.5. IDE on 2.5 is not stable (especially on Alan> 2.5.26) It happened because of 2.5.26, not just 2.5 in general. Last night I changed a few things in the 2.5.31 configuration and now it boots OK. 1) switched over to ACPI (was using APM before) 2) enabled CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO (which I didn't do before because I wasn't sure about the "VIA V2" warning in relation to my VIA chipset) 3) removed ATA_F_NOADMA from the chipset flags in ide-pci.c (chip id: PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C586_1) I get the feeling that it is all DMA related, especially with my VIA chip. I haven't seen any evidence of corruption, if that's what you mean by 'not stable'. >> My solution was to move back to ext2fs and kernel 2.4.18, although for >> this I needed to fsck the hard drive a couple times because of the >> occured corruption to the filesystem. Alan> ext3 is stable on 2.4 systems. And on 2.5 systems, right? -- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
