Hello List!
After being away for some time, (three months) I came home and did a
huge update to current cooker as of Saurday (14 December 2002). Most
everything seems well, but there is some problem within the cooker's
kernels. Normally I use the latest Enterprise kernel on my system
with dual P-3 750MHz processors + 1024 MByte RAM. Howver, when I try
to boot the current cooker kernel, 2.4.20.2mdk (regardless if it is UP,
SMP, or Enterprise, I have tested them all), the kernel complains
repeatedly about "hda: lost interrupt" during boot. I have not yet
attempted to let the system boot completely, but have let it go on to
the partition checks, where it reports the disk geometry, then stalls
with the "hda: lost interrupt", then the first two partitions, then
stalls, then the next partiotion, and stalls, and so-on. The vanilla
kernel, "kernel-linus2.4-2.4.20-1mdk" boots fine, as does 2.4.19.8mdk
(enterprise), which I run now. The hardware involved is:
Mainboard: IWill DVD-266R, 2x Pentium-3 750, 1024 M RAM
HDA: Maxtor 40 GB, 5400 RPM ATA-100 (on CMD 649)
