Re: [expert] Fw: hpt366 hinders boot, system crashes or freezes
HI Stuart, I have an off-board hpt366 running fine. Unfortunately it's on a server and running a custom (monolithic) kernel, so there will be some differences. I think (this is about 8 months ago now on 7.1) that passing the options "ide2=dma ide3=dma" at boot time should allow the controller to be configured properly. The other magic wand to wave with the new kernels is to try passing "ide2=noautotune" etc Buchan stuart simpson wrote: > > - Original Message - > From: "stuart simpson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2001 6:46 PM > Subject: hpt366 hinders boot, system crashes or freezes > > > Hello there, I just recently installed mandrake 7.2, and it doesn't work > > if my onboard > > hpt366 pci card is active in the bios > > > > details > > > > abit be6-2 with hpt366 udma on board > > soundblaster live value > > matrox g400 dual head > > > > ide0 master: 20 gig quantum ( boot drive, with windowsME, win2k, > > mandrake 7.2 > > ide0 slave: zip drive > > > > ide1 master plextor 8x cdrw > > ide1 slave panasonic dvd-cd rom > > > > udma ( hpt 366 ) > > > > ide 230 gig udma66 quantum > > ide 33 gig udma 33 quantum > > > > all drives work ok in windows 2000, ME > > > > The computer boots, and detects everything in linux, but when it gets to > > the udma drives it stalls. > > > > if I deactivate the hpt 366, then the system boots okay.

RE: [expert] Fw: hpt366 hinders boot, system crashes or freezes
When you first boot up, down at the bottom will be the bios revision. There'll be a two letter code in it. Shipping boards come with the NV or NJ, or maybe even RU versions.

What mobo bios are you running? If you're not running the QQ version, you'll want to upgrade. It's the one I'm using, and my BP6 is using the HPT just fine.

Re: [expert] Fw: hpt366 hinders boot, system crashes or freezes
chances are that you click the harddisk optimization during install! if you have that handy boot disk that the installation program asked you to create boot from it and edit lilo.conf remove the words "ide2=autotune ide3=autotune" the rerun lilo. with any luck you can now boot normally without the hpt366 crash I have an Abit BP6 and encountered the same problem which never came up in 7.1.

Re: [expert] Fw: hpt366 hinders boot, system crashes or freezes
OKay, What I did was only use the UDMA33 ports for cdrom's and use ide3 port to run Win2k, and Mandrake 7.2. Win2k is the master 20.5 GB and Linux is on the 15.3 GB slave drive. The system boots off of the MBR of the master drive. Now in bios set the boot sequence to (EXT A C) and the next option "Boot Sequence EXT means " is set to ATA/66. send me a note if you need more information.
