I have an (old!) P75 that I am trying to put Mandrake Linux on. This
machine has an RZ1000 IDE chip on it and it seems to work on the
kernel22 kernel but not the (latest even) 2.4 kernel from Cooker.
When booting 2.4.5-9mdk I get the following messages:
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
RZ1000: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 08
PCI: Enabling device 00:01.0 (0000 -> 0001)
RZ1000: chipset revision 1
RZ1000: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: disabled chipset read-ahead (buggy RZ1000/RZ1001)
ide1: disabled chipset read-ahead (buggy RZ1000/RZ1001)
md driver...

request_module[block-major-3]: Root fs not mounted
VFS: Cannot open root device "305" or 03:05
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05
When booting the kernel22-2.2.19-15mdk kernel, the following are
the relevant boot messages:
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
RZ1000: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 08
RZ1000: device not capable of full native PCI mode
RZ1000: device disabled (BIOS)
hda: Conner Peripherals 420MB - CFS420A, ATA DISK drive
hdb: CRD-8322B, ATAPI CDROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hda: Conner Peripherals 420MB - CFS420A, 406MB w/64kB Cache,
CHS=826/16/63
hdb: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
The "device disabled (BIOS)" is a little concerning but it seems to
work anyway. I have checked the BIOS and it does seem to be enabled.
Any ideas?
