Re: kernel 2.6.10 upgrade and ide drives go missing

My root is on a scsi drive and I have an ide that is used for other stuff... The Debian installer recognizes all of the drives, lets me partition them, set up mounts, etc... but when booting it's as though the ide is not there. Adding 'ide-detect' to /etc/modules (along with 'ide-disk' and 'ide-generic', though I haven't tested to see what is the minimal requirement) resolves this. Since my scsi/ide drive combo has not been an issue in other flavors of Linux, and given the 'testing' nature of Sarge, I'd chalk this up as an oversight in the installer. If anyone lurking would care to provide me with a pointer to a HOWTO search for and file bugs, I'd be glad to add this to the TODO list. I am not sure the installer is in fault. Assuming you are using an initrd in the boot process, I would start by examining it. Try building the initrd with the option that keeps the initrd build environment. Then check whether the ide modules you mentioned, as well as any other ide related module that is required is actually included. gj -Original Message- From: Anthony Tippett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 2:22 AM To: debian-kernel@lists.debian.org; debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: kernel 2.6.10 upgrade and ide drives go missing After doing an update from debian unsable all my ide drives went missing.

Can you run memtest86 on the box? memtest86 and memtest86+ (what are the differences anyway?) start running and then the machine freezes. There is also a user (root) space memory testing package which killed kdeinit so I got the vt login prompts. I logged in and rebooted. Googling for memory testing programs was disappointing. Any suggestions what to do next? I am also now with 2.6.8-2. Before that I used 2.6.8-1 and, IIRC, 2.6.7-4. Although I have rebooted the machine several times, but none with a serial console, only once I had to reboot again due to a kernel panic during boot. As an aside, I have problems with the serial console because apparently 2.6.8 does not have the support for my digi multi serial board. Can you shade some light about it? Aren't they revising the whole serial ports handlers?

Lots of details are missing. Hopefully it will ring a bell for someone.
In general this is a bug report. However lots of details are missing. I hope it will ring a bell for someone, sometime, or that you will be able to guide me on how to get more information. The setup is: ++ ++++ | NFS client | | router || NFS server | || | + ||| | 2.6.7-4 | | NFS client || 2.6.7-4 | ++ ++++ The focus is the router, which is also an nfs client. There are lots of `nfs server not responding' messages in the clients syslog when the router runs 2.6.7-[24]. It makes real work quite impossible. NFS works when the router runs 2.6.5-4. I suspect that it could be related to the nic drivers, because I have a problem with the nics in the router and the NFS server. However this might be unrelated to the nfs problems. -- If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
