Hello,
There is a bug in the Mandrake 8.0 installation.
The bug: the installation uses a 2.2 kernel, while 8.0 is on 2.4
Why this matters:
I have an Asus P2BF with two onboard controllers and a Promise Ultra 100
with the second onboard disabled.
With 2.2 it's like this:
onboard 1: hda, hdb
promise 1: hde, hdf
promise 2: hdg, hdh
With 2.4 it's like this:
onboard 1: hda, hdb
promise 1: hdc, hdd
promise 2: hde, hdf
This results in a kernel panic on first boot. Need to boot using root=
and edit lilo.conf and fstab manually.
Second problem with the Promise Ultra 100 is that it needs
ide3=noautotune (which has my cd-rom on it). Otherwise, it results in
read errors on the cdrom and segmentation faults in rpm installations.
Kind regards,
Mark Wormgoor
