I'm starting to
think this is a bug in Intel's chipset design. Mandrake refuses to
recognize the IDE controllers are located on IRQs 14/15... then it complains on
every boot:
PCI Resouce
collisions 00:1F (I'll post a complete dmesg if anyone is
interested).
Alan Cox claims to
have fixed this in the stock kernel with his patch tree, but I'm still too
newbie to get a compiled kernel to boot. It crashes after every
boot.
What gets me
thinking is... on these motherboards, Intel ships the "Intel Application
Accelerator" which is basically nothing more than a package of UDMA drivers for
the onboard IDE controllers. It's starting to feel like they're
compensating for something...
