1 Trying to go from BIOS "v1.8" -> "v1.B" in preparation
2 for a dual core upgrade I ran into kernel hangs
3 initializing the SATA boot drive (libata).
4
5 As Duncan predicted, Knoppix and the 2005.1 LiveCD
6 booted clean as did a fresh install of 64 bit RH AS4.
7
8 I got Gentoo working by downgrading to kernel version
9 2.6.9-r9.
10
11 So, the old BIOS works with all versions of the kernel
12 going back a year. The new BIOS doesn't work with
13 kernel 2.6.11 and 2.6.12.
14
15 Anyone familiar with the recent changes to libata or
16 nv_sata drivers?
