Description Rutger van Oosten 2002-04-14 08:38:45 UTC
I'm booting from a gentoo-ix86-1.1a.iso boot cd, I get the lilo prompt, press
enter, it starts detecting hardware, finds my ide controllers (a via on-board
controller, and a promise ata 100 on-board controller), probes ide0 upto ide3,
probes hda - hdg and then just locks up. I've tried repeatedly but the problem
persists.

PC Info: Asus A7V with BIOS 1010A, AMD Duron 750, 2*256 MB PC133, ... 

Other distributions boot normally (I just tried Redhat 7.2 to make sure)

Any ideas?

In your kernels config file (/usr/src/linux/.config), do you have these set? :

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX=y
CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST=y


Check the block devices section in make menuconfig.
Comment 2 Rutger van Oosten 2002-04-15 06:55:32 UTC
I haven't installed anything yet - it locks up when booting the kernel that's on
the installation cd. So is there no kernel configuration to modify yet. :)

Oops, i meant: "So there is no kernel config to modify yet"

This is sooo not my area :o) Passing it back to you dude...
Comment 5 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-06 17:28:08 UTC
can you please test with a gentoo-1.2 iso and confirm that this is still a bug?
Comment 6 Rutger van Oosten 2002-09-09 09:40:45 UTC
I will test 1.2 (or newer if released by then) in 4 weeks - when I am on the 
same continent as the PC again :-) I am surprised that there are no other Asus 
A7V owners with similar problems...

When booting from the latest livecd-ut2003-i586-1.4.1.iso  my computer again
locks up after detecting the ide devices. You can see where it locks up in this
screenshot.

PING: Still alive?
New experimentals for 1.4 are out and have lots of fixes...
Have we tried/tested them?
Comment 9 Brandon Low (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-09 14:42:28 UTC
if this is still a problem, then unfix it, otherwise close or verify it.
Comment 10 Rutger van Oosten 2003-01-12 14:36:12 UTC
1.4rc2 live cd boots fine on asus A7V with latest beta bios 1012.01a. Problem
resolved. This bug is deceased :-)
