Oh well...
I've been battleling with my Silicon Image PCI ATA-133 controller.
I've spent the last 7-8 hours trying to compile a working kernel with
support for the extra IDE controller. But so far I've failed. I've tried
several combinations (with/without support for CMD0680 - with/without
xtables - on 2.6.18 and 2.6.19) - and have tracked the problem to the
PCI IDE controller.
I've googled for hours as well, but I have no clues but one: Enabling
support for the PCI IDE/PATA Controller apparently pushes the device
names for the on-board IDE/PATA controller (e.g. /d_ev/hdd becomes
/dev/hdh).
Is that even possible? That the extra PCI ATA-Controller takes
precedence over the on-board Controller?
Kind Regards,
Kristian Poul Herkild
