Description Stephen Degler 2003-02-23 22:08:44 UTC

I had reported problems installing gentoo in bug 16087.   I rebuilt a kernel
from the "stable" gentoo kernel sources (2.4.19-r10) and had ide resets and
timeouts.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build kernel based on gentoo-kernel-2.4.19-r10
2. Boot off of an HPT 372 ide controller
3. Watch it sputter and choke

Actual Results:  
Failed to boot, made a lot of noise about ide unhappyness.


Expected Results:  
Succeeded in boot process, not cough up ide timeouts and resets.


I am happy and eager to test newer kernels.  From what I gather xfs-2.4.20_pre6
is expected to work.  I will try that.

2.4.20-xfs-pre6 is working fine.

Then stick to xfs-sources.  They have the updated IDE core for better hardware compatibility.  The next gentoo-sources may be getting this patch, if and when I incorporate it into lolo-sources, I will post here about it.

gs-sources or any 2.4.21_pre4+ should have adequate support for
this chipset also
