First this is an off-board pci ide card. The card is SIIG UDMA 133. Lilo has no trouble with the onboard chipset with essentially the same config file. The following is lilo.conf: 30 00:55:18 woodchip Exp $ # Author: Ultanium # Start LILO global section menu-scheme=Wb boot = /dev/hde prompt map = /boot/System.map #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. lba32 timeout=150 #delay = 50 vga = normal # Normal VGA console append="ide2=0xb800,0xbc02 hdd=ide-scsi" # End LILO global section # Linux bootable partition config begins # disk = /dev/hde # bios=0x80 image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/hde5 #root = /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 label = Gentoo read-only # read-only for checking # New kernel # New kernel image image = /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage root = /dev/hde5 label = New read-only # DOS bootable partition config begins other = /dev/hde1 #other = /devices/discs/disc0/part1 label = Windows table = /dev/hde # DOS bootable partition config ends # New kernel image image = /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage root = /dev/hde5 label = New read-only # DOS bootable partition config begins other = /dev/hde1 #other = /devices/discs/disc0/part1 label = Windows table = /dev/hde # DOS bootable partition config ends The first image will not boot without adding "disk=/dev/hde" @ the prompt The second and third entries boot just time the first time. Here is the really weird part. If I reboot (without running lilo again which should NOT be necessary) I don't get a menu, or a choice it boots straight into New. If I rerun lilo then I get the menu and choices. If I choose New as the kernel image to boot it loads without adding any extra parameters. As you may be able to tell from the commented entries I have tried seversal things to alleviate the parameter problem. Suggestions are welcome. bus_drivr
Heh, didn't see the repeat of the last two stanzas. The /boot/vmlinuz is a symlink. I use 'make install'. I have copied the image to /boot/vmlinuz and rerun lilo to eliminate symlink as a cause. Alas no effect.

Failsafe check: boot_dev_nr = 0x2100 0xffc0 kernel versions don't seem to matter since I have had this problem since I have been able to boot the off motherboard pci card. The Artop Electronics board is the SIIG UDMA 133
I am a user not a vendor. AFAIK there was a linux driver released for one version of this card. ONLY this version. I was unable to get this card working at all until using lolo-sources 2.4.19-pre(something) The chipsets on other cards are different. On the box it states this card supports : Windows various versions and Linux. Have verified that the listed product specification page is the correct version of the card according to the original box. There was originally a driver available by ftp and I have a copy on floppy that came with the card. All references to Linux seem to have been removed from the SIIG website.
lolo, this seems to be a kernel issue. if it really is a lilo issue, please reassign to woodchip
Ok compiled and installed xfs-sources, boots the kernel and supports ATA card. Same booting problems. used rdev on kernel in /boot and set to correct /root. Booted once w/o0 extra parameters. Then back to bypassing the lilo menu. Last two livecd's have booted this board and found /dev/hde fine. Last tried was 1.4-rc3 yesterday. worked fine. tried the experimental a few days back it also boots fine and dma is enabled in both kernels. Have not been able to get dma enabled in gentoo-sources or last pre's for lolo before latest gentoo-sources. bus_drivr
right now your best bet is gs-sources it has the correct driver. This should get you by until 2.4.21 (its now part of the kernel tree)
Emerged gs-sources( 2.4.21-pre5) and it boots the card ok. Still will not boot the kernel in the first stanza of lilo w/o extra parameters. Ran hdparm -tT /dev/hde and got some really strange results with this Timing buffer-cache reads: -1876 MB in 0.00 seconds = -inf KB/s Timing buffered disk reads: -938 MB in 0.00 seconds = -inf KB/s Hmm.. suspicious results: probably not enough free memory for a proper test. With xfs-sources I get ~60/30. It also says suspicious results. With gentoo-sources dma is off and am not able to turn it on.
This box will be sold next week on Friday. If anyone is interested in pursuing this I will send the SIIG card. However the hardware would not be exactly the same,of course, so you may not be able to reproduce this behaviour. I think you would though on any via socket 7 that supports amd k62- to 550 cpu. MVP4? Probably would occur on others though. Let me know this week. I know drobbins had a board like this but doubt he has the time. Any takers? I can work on this till about 3-31-03 if requested after which it will be reconfigured for sale. One other boog. I partitioned this box with linux fdisk. Windows sees an extra logical? drive under my computer. In other words three windows partitions only two of which are there under cfdisk :). Windows 98. Doesn't see the extra drive until the windows driver is installed. But that has nothing to do with the Linux. Probably points to this being a driver issue. Perhaps in Linux too? DJ Cozatt
I no longer have this mobo. I may soon move this card to another board just to see if it still occurs and since no one else wants it. bus_drivr
Ignore me <<< We are having Bugzilla database issues.
