Hi, I've been running kernel 2.6.11.12 (custom kernel) for a while. With this kernel, the amd74xx module loaded fine at boot so I had DMA for my PATA drives. I did this by adding the amd74xx module to /etc/mkinitrd/modules.
Since 2.6.12 (and the new udev) hit testing, I switched to Debian kernel 2.6.12. With this kernel and "amd74xx" in /etc/mkinitrd/modules, the module is not correctly loaded at startup. I don't see the usual: NFORCE3-250: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:08.0 NFORCE3-250: chipset revision 162 NFORCE3-250: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later NFORCE3-250: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround. NFORCE3-250: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround. NFORCE3-250: 0000:00:08.0 (rev a2) UDMA133 controller ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA According to various usenet posts, it should work by keeping /etc/mkinitrd/modules empty and simple adding the following to /etc/modules: amd74xx ide-cd ide-disk ide-generic By using this setting, the amd74xx module gets loaded OK, but then also the ide-scsi module gets loaded (although it's not mentioned in /etc/modules), causing my DVD drives to become scsi devices. How can I prevent the ide-scsi module from loading? Can somebody who also has the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard and who is using 2.6.12 please post their /etc/modules and /etc/mkinitrd/modules?
