Is that really a hard rule? I've done it both ways successfully in the |
| 6 |
past. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
And in fact, I didn't record my first builds on this kernel but I'm |
| 9 |
pretty sure my first build did have all PIIX stuff built in. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Not to be argumentative but did you notice that both old and new |
| 12 |
kernel have exactly the same module and built-ins concerning PIIX |
| 13 |
Yet one recognizes /dev/hda5 and runs and the other doesn't |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
zgrep PIIX /proc/config.gz (this is 2.6.30-r1) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y |
| 18 |
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=m |
| 19 |
CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y |
| 20 |
# CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX is not set |
| 21 |
CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4=m |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Try the same thing on the newbuild: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
grep PIIX /usr/src/linux/.config 2.6.31-r4 |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PIIX=y |
| 28 |
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=m |
| 29 |
CONFIG_PATA_MPIIX=y |
| 30 |
# CONFIG_PATA_OLDPIIX is not set |
| 31 |
CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4=m |
| 32 |

Again, I've done it both ways successfully in the past. |
| 36 |
Why do we have module choices for these things? |
| 37 |

So is that all you see in the failed boot messages that gives any clue |
| 40 |
to why it fails. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I'm building them in on this build... I hope it works |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
But am I missing some critical driver? |
