Piix issue
Dear all, This IDE Controller : 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB IDE Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 8a [Master SecP PriP]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Unknown device 81dc Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 I/O ports at 01f0 [size=8] I/O ports at 03f4 [size=1] I/O ports at 0170 [size=8] I/O ports at 0374 [size=1] I/O ports at 1880 [size=16] Kernel driver in use: PIIX_IDE Kernel modules: piix keep saying that hda (cdrom) "is not ready for command" , debian installer simply boots and its all OK before until middle of kernel loading ( after loading piix driver i guess ) , after this cdrom is not usable and its keep repeating the error , there is no problem with pristine kernel from kernel.org -- Armin ranjbar , System Administrator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

EDAC Support
Dear all , as you know , EDAC is supported on main kernel of Debian , i have to say that there are LOTS of issues with EDAC support in linux which made Debian unusable on large range of Asus server and other bugy or stupid hardware's , as i can say EDAC support seems very messy with kernel right now . while i was trying to install Debian on these servers , another red-hatish pal of mine tried to install RHEL-5 on one of server , it was working like o charm since those people solved this problem by not loading Edac modules at all , This is the way! i really suggest to remove Edac modules or atleast , prevent to automatically get loaded somehow . -- Armin ranjbar , System Administrator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

How to Help
Well , not answering my mails means two possibilities 1 > there is no Debian kernel developer which is impossible 2 > Debian kernel developers are highly over loaded ( look at bug report size ) i guess this is right reason for this , So , how can i help ? -- Armin ranjbar , System Administrator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
