I'm building a media PC for someone else. For various reasons (mostly for geeky fun), I've got the thing booting from an internal IDE->CF adapter with two 1TB "green energy" drives on the SATA channels. There is an optical drive slaved from the IDE adapter. And this all works fine (except for being slow to write to the boot device, but I won't care about that after it's all configured nicely).
However, the onboard video is analog, so I've addeda PCI adapter with DVI output (ATI Radeon-based). When I boot the system using the new video card, I get an error about an address space collision (in the ROM allocation) and the boot drive is no longer visible to initramfs. I can tell the bios to boot using the analog video and everything boots normally. What do? Is it possible that the device IDs are just getting gorped in one configuration and not the other and this has nothing to do with the ROM allocation? There are no jumpers or BIOS settings that I can find to change the ROM allocation areas associated with the devices. Halp! Thank you for your kind attention. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
