Hi Graziano, I see you have "nodma=hda ide=nodma" for Bering 3.1. Are you using the equivalent for 4.x? I think you need "libata.dma=0" for the 2.6 kernel. (See http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/leaf/index.php?title=Bering-uClibc_4.x_-_User_Guide_-_Basic_Configuration_-_Booting_for_the_First_Time#DMA_Issues )
The "generic" IDE driver is probably ata_generic.ko and we also have ata_legacy.ko, both in the standard initrd. Could you post the output from "lsmod" on Bering 3.1 please? davidMbrooke On Wed, 2011-04-27 at 18:10 +0200, Graziano Brioschi wrote: > Hello list > > I make some test today using boot kernel parameters to try to solve this > problem but with no success; I have tried some "mem= " options.
