Looks to me like /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0 might be the 2nd Promise Master. Since you have disabled the 2nd VIA in bios, maybe that's why lilo thinks the device name or number does not match. I would remove devices until finding which one is causing the error, to focus the bug report exactly where the problem is. > All newer versions than 2.5.6-r2 Did you mean 22.5.6? > > The 2nd VIA is disabled by bios. Sorry, I was totaly wrong here. I disabled the primary VIA. The cdroms are at secondary. When I enable the primary VIA it is probed for hda and due to hd mismatch afterwards it all end in kernel panic. > Looks to me like /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0 might be the 2nd Promise Master. Yes, bus1 is second Promise. > Since you have disabled the 2nd VIA in bios, maybe that's why lilo thinks the > device name or number does not match. The other way round, sorry :(. > I would remove devices until finding which one is causing the error, to focus > the bug report exactly where the problem is. Detaching hde (2nd promise) make all lilo > 2.5.6 work, too. > > All newer versions than 2.5.6-r2 > Did you mean 22.5.6? I dunno details :(, this is what works even with my strange setup: /usr/portage/sys-boot/lilo/lilo-22.5.6-r2.ebuild Found some time to change my setup: VIA 1 master: hda (Maxtor 34098H4 former on Promise 1 master) VIA 1 slave: hdb (IBM-DTLA-307030 former on Promise 1 slave) VIA 2 master: DVD-burner (same as former) VIA 2 slave: DVD (same as former) Promise 1 master: hde (MAXTOR 6L080J4 former Promise 2 master) I enabled both VIA, and disables "onboard ATA 100 bios" load from bios. The old setup was a relict from times I had a A7V(plain), where speed on Promise is promised ;) to be faster than on VIA. I think my new setup is much more common now, no more problem with any version of lilo :). In spite there must be some differences making the never versions of lilo fail with the old setup I would like to change [1] serverity as the problem will rarely hit someone else, IMHO. [1] If I should not do so, please drop me a note. re-open if sys-boot/lilo-22.6 + latest stable kernel has issues |
