Re: [Cooker] Promise PDC 20276

[Bruno Prior]

If the PDC20276 is your secondary IDE controller, do an install to a 
disk on you primary controller with the PDC20276 disabled in BIOS (may 
not be necessary). Recompile the kernel with CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y. 
Once you can boot with a kernel compiled with this option, you will be 
able to enable the PDC20276 and use the disks on it as normal,

Alternatively, I believe there is an alternative install kernel around 
that supports the PDC20276, but if you can't find it, the above should work.

Cheers,

Bruno

Would it be possible for someone to confirm the status of ATA support on the
Promise PDC202xx chipsets currently found on a wide range of ASUS and
Gigabyte motherboards.
LM9.0 - no issues, PDC20276 ATA function picked up, drives recognised. 

LM9.1 - PDC202xx support broken, no drives recognised on PDC202xx IDE
controllers, known issue throughout lm9.1 cooker, however passed through
into final product. Installation or upgrade impossible with LM installation
on drives connected to PDC202xx controller. 

Cooker/9.2 - .???
