FIXED IT! - IDE stopped working

One thing could be that some card goes to irq 15 in boot and messes things up. If those do not help, try .34. Jaakko, I want to thank you for hanging in there. I swapped /dev/hdb (hard drive slave on primary bus) for /dev/hdc (cdrom master on secondary bus). Two things have become self-evident: 1) If the kernel does not see any valid devices on the secondary IDE bus, the kernel will disable the bus (this fact was unknown to me) 2) Some CDrom drives prefer to be slave drives and do not properly respond to the kernel's inquiry when jumpered as a master drive (again, an unknown fact) Full use of my system has now been restored and perhaps the members of the debian-user list will benefit from this experience. -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. - -.-. .. -.- -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

What is the chipset used with that mb ? TX? Do you have any pnp cards ? Kernel settings? I'll have a look at it since I compile my own kernel. You may have hit on something with the chipset - Intel 430TX PCIset with PCI Bus Master IDE controller. I do have PNP cards on the PCI bus, but all of them are recognized and initialized properly.
