And as this is probably more appropriately a developer issue, I am sending |
| 2 |
it to that list as well. |

Matthew, |
| 11 |
I am sorry I don't have a solution to your problem. I just wanted to |
| 12 |
note that I have had a promise controller problem as well starting with the |
| 13 |
gentoo-sources kernels. |
| 14 |
My controller is a PDC20269 (the ATA133 that came with the Maxtor |
| 15 |
120Gb I recently purchased), and does not raid either. My linux |
| 16 |
installations is not on the harddrives that I have attached to it, so I can |
| 17 |
boot successfully, however the drives are unusable, and it takes an |
| 18 |
unusually long amount of time to boot. |
| 19 |
When the pdc controller is recognized, it complains that one of my |
| 20 |
drives are busy, and that I need an 80 pin cable, and such. |
| 21 |
The only think I can narrow it down to was the fact that there |
| 22 |
definitely was some code changed in the pdc202xx drivers, however I don't |
| 23 |
know if this problem is now a configuration problem or a code problem. I |
| 24 |
also don't know how to fix it. |
| 25 |
If you come across the fix, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. I'll |
| 26 |
do the same... :) |

| 35 |

I have a Promise UltraTX2 ATA100 card working perfectly with the old |
| 37 |
linux-2.4.19-r1 sources. As soon as I try to use any of the new gentoo |
| 38 |
sources (r1, r3, and now r4) I cannot boot my system with the new |
| 39 |
kernel. I have checked and double checked all config settings from the |
| 40 |
old linux sources to the new gentoo sources, and they are identical. |
| 41 |
When the system boots, I get the following message: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
PDC20268: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 40 |
| 44 |
PCI: Could not assign IRQ 17 to device 00:08.0 |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
The boot then stops and will not display the drives on the card. At |
| 47 |
this point during the old kernel boot, it displays hde and hdf as |
| 48 |
being ATA100 drives, and the boot continues normally. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
I then have to boot from the cd and revert to the old kernel, and the |
| 51 |
system boots perfectly. This controller (Promise 20268) does not have |
| 52 |
any RAID features availble, so that isn't the problem. Any ideas? |
