Re: 2.4 madness!

Hello,

quoted

I first tried compiling a 2.2.17 kernel with the latest ide patch, which
resulted in a machine check on startup. bummer.

That could have been PCI problems....

Anyway, I'd suggest starting with:

1. Andre Hedrick's ATA patches (but I suppose you knew that), available
   somewhere on kernel.org, users/hedrick. AFAIK, the 2.2 patches
   _don't_ contain support for the U/100, though...

2. Get my PCI patches, available here:

   http://www.cpu.lu/~mlan/linux/dev/pci.html

...and cross fingers ;-)

Hmm.. I'll give your patches a try.  I tried a 2.4 kernel on an MVME 2700
here yesterday and it had some PCI problems where 2.2.17 works..
