Re: [Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Promise UATA 100 Controllers]
Okay, I spent yesterday jumping through hoops, and finally got things to fit
together so that they work not too badly.
M/B: ASUS A7V/KT133
Issue: Linux Mandrake Doesn't Undertand the Promise ATA/100 on the M/B
Here's the procedure I used:
* NOTE: This procedure ASSUMES that you attach the disk to the primary
UATA/100 device
1) Disconnect the UATA/100 Win2K disk
2) Attach the new disk to the IDE controller
{NOT the UATA 100 controller - there are 2 sets of disk controller
ports on the M/B)
3) Drop the Mandrake 7.2 CD into the CD/R drive.
4) Boot the system from CD
5) Do a bare bones install of Mandrake {don't even bother with X)
6) After the install is done, log in as root
7) Execute the following command: % cat /proc/pci
8) Somewhere in there, you will get a piece of output that has 5 hex
addresses listed. These should be the I/O range for the UATA/100 controller.
In my case the first two were 0x9000 and 0x8800.
9) Record those numbers.
10) Shut down
11) Disconnect the drive from the IDE controller and hook it to the UATA
controller.
12) Reconfigure the BIOS to boot from CD first rather than HDD.
13) Boot the box up - when the first Mandrake screen comes up, press 'F1' to
get into the alternate boot screen.
14) At the command prompt provided, type in 'linux ide2=0xy,0xz'
computing y and z as: high start address from step 8, and z as the second
start address + 2. On my box this turned out to be ide2=0x9000,0x8802.
15) At this point, everything should be happy, and you can go ahead with a
full install.
16) When you get to configuring GRUB, use the same numbers you used in step
14.
I haven't yet tried patching the kernel - that's next. But this was enough to
get moving forward.

If you have actually succeeded in installing LM 7.2 on an ASUS A7V using

procedure
was you used?

I haven't installed one but I am getting one and I have researched it a
bit and there is a way to do it although I've been told that 7.2 has the
kernel patch for the card. Here's a URL for the HowTo which describes a
little trick you may need to
do: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/Ultra-DMA-5.html#ss5.2 You can get

Re: [Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Promise UATA 100 Controllers]
I am not sure on this but kernel 2.2.17 does not recognize ATA 100
controllers. You'll have to use a 2.4 kernel to get support for that.

Re: [Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Promise UATA 100 Controllers]
The 2.2.17 kernel will work with a Promise Ultra ATA 100 pci card,most
likely not the onboard controller :(

Re: [Re: [newbie] Mandrake 7.2 and Promise UATA 100 Controllers]
I have heard those do not work with Linux, I could be wrong.I know SUSE told
me in a e-mail I sent them that it does not, I would guess if SUSE does not
support it.GOOD LUCK ! Does the 2.4 kernel support it I wonder?
