Has anyone got either 2.2.x or 2.4.0 booted on the above motherboard?
This board has an integrated Promise Fasttrack ATA/100 controller - I know that to support the hardware RAID I need the binary only drivers from Promise but I'd rather not use these if software RAID works as there's no source, however I'm not getting that far.
All the kernels that I've tried hang either after identifying the on-board IDE controllers if they don't have support for the promise chipset or after identifying the first channel on the Promise if they do
The last boot messages printed are:
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx VP_IDE: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39 VP_IDE: Chipset Revision 16 VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later VP_IDE: Via vt82c686a IDE Controller on PCI 0:7.1 ide0: BM-DMA at 0xb000-0xb007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0xb008-0xb00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio PDC20265: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 60 PDC20265: Chipset Revision 2 PDC20265: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later PDC20265: (U)DMA Burst Bit ENABLED Primary MASTER Mode Secondary MASTER Mode. ide2: BM-DMA at 0xdc00-0xdc07, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
Then it hangs requiring power cycling.
I'm not sure whether the I/O address reported by the promise driver is correct - the promise BIOS shows the I/O address for the first channel as 0xCC00.
There are two Maxtor 33073H3 30G drives connected as master & slave on channel 1 (yes, I know that they should be master on channel 1 and master on channel 2 - we're getting hold of some more cables but I assume that is not the cause of the kernel hang). The Promise BIOS utility shows them being in UDMA mode 5
The board has 2x 866 Mhz PIIIs (kernel compiled for SMP but using a UP kernel gives the same result), it's BIOS is version 3.0. There doesn't seem to be an option to disable the Promise controller otherwise I would. There also doesn't seem to be the option of not using controller as a "normal" ATA/100 IDE controller either unless the act of _not_ configuring any RAID arrays is sufficient.
Is this a configuration with known problems?
TIA
Paul
