Re: IDE problems with 2.3.49?

I've been experiencing IDE interrupt problems with anything more recent than 2.1.24. On my 7220, the IDE controller doesn't seem to be properly initialized and raises an interrupt when none is expected. The kernel then gets stuck in an infinite interrupt loop. This occured however only when booting from OF. When using a MacOS-based loader, MacOS would have initialized the IDE controller before the kernel was running. The workaround for me has been to reset the IDE controller. The kernel bootflags are something like ide0=reset, ide1=reset. After that, the unexpected interrupt is discarded, though it still generates a warning. Maybe the current problems are related to this. - Wulf -- ________________________________________________________ ! Dipl. Phys. Wulf Hofbauer (wh@echo.chem.tu-berlin.de) ! !
