The driver uses a simple logic for theese chipsets..., if it finds a harddisk that supports = udma66 it will automatically assume that the system owner is smart enough to have used a real 80 pin cable... Theese asumptions in the driver are added because of the lack of public documentation over the ide chipsets / registers..., and in some cases poorly implemented m/b design... john I've also put the 2.4.22 kernel on my other machine (NF7-S V1.2, which is john normally very stable), and X crashed after 3 hours, with console video john knackered. not here, could you try a serial console to see the hang? Later, Juan. There has been some recent discussion on the fact that some of the chipset revisions has had more problem than other, and considering the fact that nVidia themseleves have problems with their WindowsXP/2000 IDE-drivers stability (or the fact that there is no IDE SW driver at all in latest nForce chipset drivers), it may still take some time before the problem is fixed And there is not many people that actually have access to the nVidia NDA documentations (I know of only 2) ...

That is very, very weird. If I remembered correctly You told me that for you 2.4.21 is faster than 2.4.22. (~50MB/s vs ~20MB or something like that). Nope, its the other way around; 50 for 2.4.22, and 27 for 2.4.21 You have in _both_ dmesg messages acpi disabled (that means that acpi can't be related with that). What is more strange is that in 2.4.21 your disk is recognized as UDMA33 one, instead of UDMA100. Could you check that your cable is UDMA100 really? -hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63, UDMA(33) +hda: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/8192KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63, UDMA(100) This are the relevant lines. If I remembered rigth, you can't get 50MB/s with UDMA33. This probably explains what the problem is then; I'm getting UDMA100 with the 2.4.22-0.8, and this is probably the source of the problem. hdparm -i output with both kernels should be more interesting. And could you please send me the dmesg output with apci=on (i.e no pci=noacpi neither acpi=off). I trying to do a clean re-install, but current cooker (locally generated ISO) is not installable. I've also put the 2.4.22 kernel on my other machine (NF7-S V1.2, which is normally very stable), and X crashed after 3 hours, with console video knackered. Will keep everyone posted. Thanks, Juan.
