Hw : AMP XP2200+, 512Mo PC2700, ABIT KX7-333R (chipset via KT333) ide0 : maxtor dma100 ide1 : Pionneer DVD (master) + traxdata burner (slave) ide2 : quantum dma33 (hde : windows98) ide3 : IBM dma66 (hdg : Mdk8.2)* IDE/1: hda is a Maxtor 5T030H3
Detected as : (stage1.log) * IDE/0: hdc is a Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-104S 012 * IDE/0: hdd is a IDE-CD R/RW 16x10A * IDE/1: hde is a QUANTUM FIREBALL EX6.4A * IDE/1: hdg is a IBM-DJNA-371350 I couldn't go through all the installation process : i used the first drive to install the rc2, but after the installation selectoin (recommended), the system tried to access ide2 and ide3 (recognized by the kernel) and failed due to DMA timeouts. (fail to access drive, one message to say DMA is disabled, and then error xFF) After this, the package selection was missing (no icons, no description), i couldn't select anything so it installed only the minimum. I could boot, with a minimal system, and manually upgrade everything after transferring all the cd-roms to the hd, and urpmi.addmedia (as urpmi wasn't installed first, i had to do that). I cannot report any problem for the moment about else, except for few remarks : 1 -When you do like this, urpmi complains about unsigned package, until i realised that gnupg was missing ! After it went smooth. 2 - urpmi rocks, i installed everything with it really easily. 3 - i had no trouble with nvidia drivers (2960) from src.rpm. 4 - all the partitions are seen by diskdrake, but when i try to automount or manually mount them, it works for the hde (windows fat32) but after a certain time (when i try to access the files (mp3 for xmms for example), it fails with the same message as there were in the installation process. 5 - i'm not able for the moment to access the reiserfs 8.2 partitions on hdg. It fails with : no valid filesystem or too many mounted files, even if i try mout -t reiserfs -detect. After all this, i must precise something : I can boot on the raid devices : in that case, i get my old lilo : linux (8.2) which ends with a kernel panic (due to the vt8233a i presume) and windows (hde). The latter works, and i can access the cdrom and dvd (ide1). I put the last two drives on 80-pins connectors, although they are not udma100 capable, i can switch to 40-pins connectors to check , but as it is well detected by the kernel, and that windows works like this, i'm not sure. It is possible that the kernel attemps to access to my 3 different drives with the fastest timing (dma100), in that case i think it would be worth describing each disk separately in /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdX ? I want your opinion on the latter point, and on way to cope with this weird behavior. Stef
