Description Ben Anderson 2008-09-25 21:11:25 UTC 
Despite setting ide=nodma on the boot: line, the kernel still tries to use DMA on my CF card in IDE adapter, which breaks horribly with pata_via and hangs the system before the initrd handoff. (see: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2007-10/msg03155.html )

Haven't tried 2008.0 (not -r1) yet.

Uhh, you said it breaks on 2008.0-r1 and then said that you hadn't tried 2008.0 or 2008.0-r1 yet. Which is it?
Comment 2 Ben Anderson 2008-09-25 21:47:30 UTC 
Didn't think that was ambiguous, but: I discovered this bug while trying to boot 2008.0-r1. I haven't tried 2008.0 yet.
Comment 3 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-25 23:43:08 UTC 
Ah, I misread "not" as "nor".
Comment 4 Ben Anderson 2008-09-26 01:40:13 UTC 
Same thing is happing with 2008.0 stock. To where from here?
Comment 5 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-26 01:45:04 UTC 
Sounds like a kernel issue. Nothing that can be done for the media until the next release. Try going back to a 2007.0 LiveCD.

What kernel version is that?
Comment 7 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-09-27 00:49:15 UTC 
It was g-s-2.6.24-rX (not sure which -rX off the top of my head).
Comment 8 Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2011-06-19 13:17:09 UTC 
The 2008.0 release was done a long time ago.
