Re: 2.6.15 on HP ZV6100 ( similar to compaq R4000)
I would have thought with 2.6.15 it had a chance. 2.6.8 certainly won't like the chipset in it. I think that it should work, i've a similar chipset (if not the same), and it works also with 2.6.8, recompiilng it. Not sure why 2.6.12 in ubuntu would work and 2.6.15 in debian wouldn't. Unless they load different drivers or something. The problem, in my case, was that kernel load atiixp module after ide_generic, and (don't know why) ati module can't take control of ide/pci correctly. ( this is not a reason, it's simply what happen in my notebook... ) bye! -- -gaspa- --- Powered by Debian GNU/Linux and Debian GNU/Hurd -- HomePage: iogaspa.altervista.org --- -Il lunedi'dell'arrampicatore: www.lunedi.org - -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

2.6.15 on HP ZV6100 ( similar to compaq R4000)
[I am not subscribed to this list, so please reply to my own address] ... beside this it is also not strictly pertinent to amd64 port since the problem is on the 32bit klernel, on a athlon64 PC. i post here since i ham trying since a couple of week and any suggestion was different and unsuccessful, and the same model is often used for 64bit development] I have a HP ZV6100 . I have installed debian serge, then updated to etch. but either with 2.6.8 or 2.6.15, k7 or 486 i am unable to activate dma and in turn the computer freeze almost completely during disk access (expecailly if i download large files from a fast lan server). The hardware is fine since if i use a 2.6.12 from ububntu the dma is correctly activated and i can also activcate/deactivate it with hdparm. Any hint ? possible kernel personalization to get it to work ?

I would have thought with 2.6.15 it had a chance. 2.6.8 certainly won't like the chipset in it. So far support for ATI chipsets has seemed very unstable in linux, although it does seem to be improving a bit with each new 2.6 kernel. Is the bios up to date? I had all sorts of trouble recently trying to install on an athlon with nforce2/sil3112 controllers, and a bios update made all the problems go away.
