Hello,
Three weeks ago, I made a mention of this, but never saw a
reply, so I just waited until a new kernel hit the mirrors. I am
currently having to run kernel-enterprise-2.4.19-8. I missed the
kernels between this one and 2.4.20-2, which did not work for me
(reporting errors at boot-time like "hda: lost interrupt" I don't
know if it is related, but I also cannot run the latest version of
X if I try to load the agpgart module, as X crashes, and the system
re-boots (loading agpgart has always required the
"agp_try_unsupported=1" to work with my chipset (VIA Apollo Pro266))
I guess the X problem could be a feud between X and the Kernel, but
since I cannot run the newest kernel, I cannot verify this
hypothesis. If anyone can suggest a remedy, or tests that I can do
to help with the correction of the problem, please let me know.
This is the hardware that is involved:
mainboard: IWill DVD 266-R (Apollo Pro266 Chipset) w/1024 Mb RAM
HDA: Maxtor 40 GB, 5400 RPM ATA-100 (on CMD 649 contoller, not in
any RAID configuration)
Video: ATI Radeon 64 MB DDR, X configured to run at AGPMode 4
