Interestingly, under the kernel that is functioning properly, there is *NO* /proc/ide !?!? In fact, grepping for ide in all files under /proc (except, numeral-named), I find: /proc/ioports:01f0-01f7 : ide0 /proc/ioports:03f6-03f6 : ide0 /proc/ioports:e800-e807 : IDE DMA /proc/ioports:e808-e80f : IDE DMA /proc/interrupts:14: 150 + ide0 /proc/devices: 3 ide0 /proc/ksyms:00180518 ide_register_Reb6aee5d /proc/ksyms:00180610 ide_unregister_R0c486b72 /proc/ksyms:0019e790 proc_print_scsidevice_Ra4deca21 /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/0: Ultra Wide Controller /proc/pci: IDE interface: Intel 82371SB PIIX3 IDE (rev 0). So, how is this handling the IDE hdd? Is it using scsi to interpret ide? The new kernel has this /proc/ide/drivers: ide-disk version 1.08 Also, networking is also behaving badly! I can resolve names from addresses (ostensibly, via dnscache on the firewall); but, *all* pings fail completely!
