OK, first of: I meant 2.4.27-pre5 not rc2. I mixed up a few releases.
Second, I tried to figure out why my via chipset didn't get recognised so I installed a 2.4.26 kernel-image. It does recognise the PATA part of the chipset, but not the SATA part. It panics after finding the dvd-player. I installed the kernel-source-2.4.26 package to see if making my own kernel would solve the problem. I used the config from the 2.4.26 kernel-image. It has the correct support for the via chipset enabled as a module by default but somehow it doesn't get loaded. Compiling it in staticaly doesn't help either. I tried a kernel.org 2.4.26 + 2.4.27-pre5 patch and that paniced too, but this time on ACPI. I'll try to fix that and look into the SATA-problem later this week. Last, I forgot one small issue I had with the LVM-support. For some reason it wants to check the cdrom for LVM-volumes, multiple times. I got 4 lines saying something like 'checking cdrom'. A bit weird and it makes up for most of the delay in detecting all LVM-volumes. Maybe the default config can enable the skip-the-cdrom option? regards, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
