Hallo! A friend's Compaq Presario 905 is having the following problem while trying to boot from CD (tested with 8.2, 9rc2 and 9rc3):
... ALI15X3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 80 PCI: no IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:10.0. Please try using pci=biosirq ... > Partition check: > hda: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 ... I've tryed booting "linux pci=biosirq" with no luck. He hasn't got the option in bios to assingn irqs manually. Last: we've found that booting "linux ide=nodma" reaches the following step ("Enabling PCMCIA extension cards"). Then it shows the following: Bank 3: b40000000000083b at 0000000001fc0003b0 Kernel panic: Unable to continue. As it's got 256Mb ram and the video card is 32Mb we've added "mem=224M" and "mem=223M" to boot parameters with no luck. HELP! He's going back to windowwwwwwwwwssssssssssssss... Thanks in advance ;) -- Joan Tur. Eivissa-Spain AOL quini2k, ICQ 11407395 www.ClubIbosim.org Linux: usuari registrat 190.783
