Hi,
I have have serious problems using a specific Quantum disk connected to a Promise
ATA/100 controller. The disk causing problems is the QUANTUM FIREBALLlct10 30. The
disk simply locks up the machine solid during boot at the point where it should report
its IRQ (normally 'ide2 at 0x8890-0x8897,0x88aa on irq 7'). No Magic SysRQ or
ATX-poweroff works. I have tried this under latest 2.4 kernels and on 2.2.16 with
latest IDE patches (from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick). Same
result.
There is no abnormal messages or oops posted to console - everything looks normal
apart from the lockup. I tried the behaviour in 2 different boxes (different chipset).
Same problem. I tried the disk on a normal PIIX4 IDE controller where it works
perfect. I tried the controller using a IBM-DPTA-373420 34 GB drive. Worked perfectly.
At last I tried using the controller with the Quantum drive on a Windows box (urrgh).
It worked perfectly..
No output is attached as it looks perfectly normal. More information available upon
request (here or by email).
PS: This is my first post to linux-kernel, so please include disclaimer..
