I get a kernel panic when the kernel tries to connect the onboard Highpoint 372 ata raid, with lolo-sources-2. 4.20.1_rc2; just after detecting the disks. The result is that this kernel is unusable with Highpoint 372 raid controllers as the system cannot boot. Here is some of the output, at the bottom of the panic: ------------------- Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler ! In interrupt handler - not syncing. ------------------ With lolo-sources-2.4.20.1_rc1 I don't get a panic, it just hangs there telling that it cannot initialise the dma for the disks on the raid. With gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r7 it works. With the Gentoo live CD 1.4rc1 it works, but fisrt thing I must do is disable dma on the raid disks with hdparm before doing anything else, otherwise it hangs. Could you please put the Highpoint raid driver (hptraid module) back as it was in gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r7, as this works well. Thank you.
Brandon, I've had the lockup in 2.4.20.1_pre9, but _pre3 worked alright... I haven't tried the later/earlier ones. This might be some patch you forgot to migrate from the old lolo to the newer one?
in short, no. the kernels that work are based on the completely new IDE core that is not yet in the stable kernel series. Every since gentoo-r7, the -ac kernel which contains that code has been too unstable for us to use it as our base kernel. If the _rc1 liveCD kernel works, use that as your kernel, it essentially the latest _pre of xfs-sources AFAIK. I am closing this bug, this support will be available when Marcelo Tosatti and the other Linux Kernel developers have stabilized the new IDE core (linux-2.4.21 will have this support)
