Bug#343048: linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7: same proble, kernel fails to load ide drive.. in my case the drive is under /sys/block/hdb/dev

[Scott James Williamson]

FYI:

if you use a nvidia nforce 2 based motherboard, to get DMA on your
drives, add the following MODULE amd74xx after evdev and before
ide-generic to the /etc/yaird/Default.cfg file:

   MODULE  evdev

   MODULE  amd74xx

   MODULE  ide-generic
   MODULE  ide-disk

then run the command dpkg-reconfig linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7

Thanks, this is new information.

There have been piix users that report non-boot and no DMA with
the latest yaird version, but you are the first to report this
for an amd74xx motherboard.

Just to avoid misunderstandings: did you add the ide-generic
to repair a non-booting system, or just by way of prevention?

If the amd74xx also fails to boot without ide-generic, I'll need
to prepare a modified yaird patch.

Regards,
Erik
