Well, despite all that effort in documenting the problem, no action has been
taken to solve it. As I test new kernels, I see that some times they work, and
when the next update comes, it does not work again; which leads me to believe
there is a real problem with the ide patches. And under no circumstance is this
an intermittent hw problem, since 2.2.16 work every time, and the ones that
don't fail every time. I normally just update my rpms, and have an install that
went from RH 5.2 to Rawhide to Cooker; and for a while I thought the problem
was because of that, but when I tried doing a boot from the install image, I
got the same problem, which means that anybody that has a Promise (may be with
WD drives) based ATA66/100 will fail to install Mandrake. Isn't that important
enough to get some attention?
