Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from Mandrake 7.1 to 7.2 and my Promise U66
controler seems to cause a problem. At the present time I have a cdrom on
ide0, a cdr on ide1, a Quantum HD (udma66) on ide2, a Maxtor HD
(udma66) on ide3.
To boot with 7.1, I use the following line with Grub:
kernel (hd0,1)/boot/bzImage-2.2.16-9mdk_2 root=/dev/hde2 hda=ide-scsi
hdd=ide-scsi ide2=0xd400,0xd800 ide3=0xdc00,0xe000 ide2=dma ide3=dma
When trying to upgrade to 7.2 by booting from the cdrom, if I don't add
anything the instaler hang with:
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
ide2 at 0xd400-0xd407,0xd802 on irq 9
ide3 at 0xdc00-0xdc07,0xe002 on irq 9
If after pressing F1, I boot with "linux ide2=0xd400,0xd800
ide3=0xdc00,0xe000" the installer hang with:
Partition check:
hde:
And if after pressing F1, I boot with "linux ide2=0xd400,0xd802
ide3=0xdc00,0xe002" I get the same result as when I don't add anything.
The relevant part of "cat /proc/pci" is:
Bus 0, device 11, function 0:
Unknown mass storage controller: Promise Technology IDE UltraDMA/66 (rev 1).
Medium devsel. IRQ 9. Master Capable. Latency=32.
I/O at 0xd400 [0xd401].
I/O at 0xd800 [0xd801].
I/O at 0xdc00 [0xdc01].
I/O at 0xe000 [0xe001].
I/O at 0xe400 [0xe401].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xd8000000 [0xd8000000].
Is there something else I can try?
Thanks.
Denis
